Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has described the Dein of Agbor, Benjamin Ikenchukwu, as a traditional ruler whose reign has been marked by peace, unity and sustained progress.

The governor stated this while extending his warm felicitations to the traditional ruler, the Keagborekuzi I, on the occasion of his 49th birthday.

Mr Oborevwori’s felicitation is contained in a statement by his chief press secretary, Festus Ahon, on Monday in Asaba.

The Delta governor commended the revered monarch for his exemplary leadership and immense contributions to the growth and development of Agbor Kingdom, Delta State and the nation.

Mr Oborevwori explained that the monarch’s commitment to the welfare of his people had earned him admiration and respect far beyond his kingdom.

“The monarch’s dedication to preserving the rich cultural heritage of Agbor while promoting development and harmonious coexistence made him worthy of celebration. On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I warmly felicitate His Royal Majesty, Benjamin Ikenchukwu, Keagborekuzi I, CON, the Dein of Agbor Kingdom, on the occasion of his 49th birth anniversary.

“You have continued to lead your people with love, wisdom and compassion, and your exemplary leadership has endeared you to your subjects and many others beyond your kingdom. As you celebrate your 49th birthday, it is my prayer that Almighty God will continue to bless you with sound health, wisdom and strength to provide purposeful leadership for your people.

“I also look forward to your continued invaluable contributions to the peace, unity and development of Delta State and our nation,” the governor said.
