Delta @ 26: Team SMART patron congratulates Deltans.



As Delta State celebrates the 26th anniversary of its creation, a Community leader in Ika South and patron of the most vibrant socio political pressure group, Team SMART,  Dr. Donald Peterson, has felicitated with the Delta State Governor Sen. Dr Ifeanyi Okowa and Deltans in General, on the auspicious Occassion of the State 26th Anniversary Celebration.
 Dr. Peterson stated that the governor had displayed high craftsmanship in piloting the affairs of the state adding that the evidence of his constructive leadership manifests in his growing political profile maintaining that in two years the state had recorded several landmark projects dotted across the three Senatorial Districts of the state which have become a template and a reference point for most of the states today.
 The community leader stated that despite the shortfall in federal allocation and Internally Generated Revenue (IGR),  the state Governor had prudently applied what is available to the state to very critical areas of development in the three Senatorial Districts of the state.
  He said governor Okowa is one man who is irrevocably committed to advancing the course of Deltans as reflected in his SMART agenda and urged Deltans to keep away from acts which would hinder progress and engender disunity as no meaningful development can take place in atmosphere of rancour and acrimony.
 He further charged Deltans to throw their weights behind the Okowa administration in building bridges of unity, peace and prosperity for all.
