Okowa and by the special grace of God they all went back to their different units and wards and came out victorious and that is what we are celebrating.

“I was appointed close to the period of the elections and now that the elections had come and gone, but it will be unfair if l don’t show my appreciation to you all for standing firm to deliver our amiable governor, the working governor, whose work has manifested through the votes Deltans had given to him.

“During the elections after l have voted,I visited most of the units and wards and I saw that majority of the voters are women, so I commend the women so much and I equally use this medium to commend all the wards chairmen, youth leaders and women leaders for the support given to the governor.

"As part of the victory celebration, I have also given the widows rice to take home and also added money to cook it so that they can enjoy with their children at home and I also gave the women leaders same too, they have done well and you do not need to wait for the governor before you appreciate people for the good things they have done.”
