Speaking at the end of the presentation of the certificate, the Federal Commissioner, in charge of Delta, Cross River and Akwa Ibom, Mr. Mohammed Lecky, responding to why the certificate was not issued in Delta, said that the commission based their decision on some legal issues, but later realized their mistake, and they have to correct that.

“This commission is a law abiding body, and when we realised that our decision was wrong, we have to quickly correct that.”

It could be recalled that on Wednesday March 27, 2019, Hon Christopher Ochor Ochor was not issued his certificate at the general presentation for what the commission termed some legal matters, which was later discovered that it was a case of mispresentation by the commission.
