He said that; “We want to commend you, our Son for the recent Empowerment of your Constituents, it is the first of its kind. We are impressed. This is not the first time that you are empowering your people. Keep up your good work. If all our elected politicians in Urhobo Nation can do what you are doing by Empowering our people, there will be a general peace in Urhobo land.
