He said that Senator Okowa is a dedicated and focused political leader with unblemished track record and uncommon passion for the socioeconomic growth and development of South -South.

Tibi explained that as an experienced grassroots politician , who diligently served as Local Government Council Chairman, a civil commissioner, a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and later as the Governor of Delta State, there is no doubt in his capacity to deliver effectively on this mandate as expected by the President.

He said that the immediate past Governor of Delta State is an astute politician and a result oriented leader, noting that under his watch as the Governor, he served the state meritoriously, just as the current Governor, Rt.
