“My dear people of Delta State, and fellow Nigerians.

“At this crucial moment in our nation’s journey, I come to you not only as a former Deputy Governor but as a fellow patriot who shares in your dreams, concerns, and unyielding hope for a better Nigeria.

“In the face of challenges, we must not lose sight of the progress being made and the intentional efforts of our President, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to lay a solid foundation for a stronger, prosperous nation. His administration is deeply committed to eradicating poverty, rebuilding our economy, and securing a brighter future for all Nigerians—north, south, east, and west.

“This is not the time for despair or division, but for unity and prayerful support. The Word of God instructs us in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV):
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”

“I therefore call on every Deltan and every Nigerian to join hands in prayer and support for President Tinubu and his team. Let us give them the benefit of our trust, the strength of our encouragement, and the blessing of our faith.

“Let us remember—great nations are not built in silence or cynicism, but through collective sacrifice, patience, and unwavering hope. With your support and God’s guidance, I am confident that this administration will lead us to a new dawn where opportunities abound, peace prevails, and every Nigerian can thrive.

“Together, let us believe again. Let us build again. Let us rise again.

“God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
God bless Delta State.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“H.E. Dcn. Kingsley B. Otuaro, immediate Past. Deputy Governor, of Delta State”.
