Adding: “He is a dogged fighter who is committed to the interests of the Niger Delta people.”
“His inputs during the resource control struggle that eventually led to what the region gets today as a derivation fund remains an uncommon feat in the archives of Niger Delta history,” Oasis Chapel added.
