BIRTHDAY MESSAGE TO HIS EXCELLENCY, SEN. DR. IFEANYI OKOWA, GOVERNOR OF DELTA STATE.

Your Excellency,

As you mark your 58th birthday today, I bring you best wishes and good tidings from myself and a multitude of other Deltans and Nigerian people who are appreciative of all that you do to advance the cause of Delta State and restore the lost glory and dignity of our land, Nigeria.

In this our time and era, there is no voice so firm and clarion to make a case of the common man at the grassroots as yours. There is no vision so clear and focused to develop, advance and sustain the daily endeavours of every Delta resident as your PROSPERITY agenda.

As our leader and torchbearer, you have never reneged in your willingness and ability to reciprocate the loyalty and allegiance that you enjoy from your followers. At the slightest opportunity availed to do so, you always protect and stand by your supporters through thick and thin. Little wonder you enjoy unalloyed and immaculate loyalty to the extent that most of your supporters are prepared to take the battlefield salvoes on your behalf.

The above have not come without a price. You have laid so much on the line with your SMART agenda to fight and protect our present and future amidst internal and external pressure and distractions, including the current economic downturn challenging the entire country, but as it pleases the Almighty God, you have been and will keep surmounting them all.

The little we can give in return is wishing you long life, good health and prosperity.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sir!!!

Signed:

Ms. Felicia Ugbebor

So much was not recorded about Agbor. The History of Agbor Kingdom like those of other African ancient kingdoms, empires and peoples, is based largely on oral tradition. Various oral accounts on the origin of Agbor and Ika people exist but the most credible being that “Ogunagbon” and his followers, who founded Agbor, came from Benin and first settled in “Ominije”, presently located in today’s Agbor-Nta. Following what can best be described as personal crisis between two princes in Benin and subsequent settlement of this dispute as agreed to by the chiefs and elders of Benin determined by casting of lot, led to one of the princes settling in what became know...
