Papa has contributed greatly to the development of Delta State and we make bold to say that former Chief of Naval Staff pedigree and accomplishments over the years would not have been possible without papa’s guidance, prayers and advice.
“You and your entire family have to be consoled for the fact that Papa has done very well. He will always be remembered for his love, kindness, steadfastness, deeply religious disposition and commitment to peace and unity of Delta State.
