Omo-Agege Says Igbuya Is Rich Blend Of Service As Politician And Savvy As Business Man

As Rt. Hon. Monday Ovwigho Igbuya clocks 68 years today (Saturday), immediate past Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has described him as sacrificial in political leadership and a development-oriented business man.

He made the remark in his birthday message to the former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly on his birthday.

Senator Omo-Agege, the Obarisi of Urhoboland, said in his political journey, Igbuya never shied away from making sacrifices for the good of his people and for political stability, adding, “as a business man, you have been equally astute and bringing development and employment to the people. You have always upheld your reputation as a devout Christian in your forthrightness. Your people attest to your unwavering commitment fighting for their progress using the instrumentality of every office you have occupied.”

“As Delta State’s representative in the management of NDDC, I am confident you will bring the same forthrightness and boldness to advance and protect the interest of our state in the federal intervention agency. May the Most High God bless you with excellent health and even more productive long life,” Senator Omo-Agege said.

Igbuya is the Delta State representative in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and was Majority Leader of Delta State House of Assembly before being elected Speaker.

An accomplished businessman, Igbuya’s political trajectory began when he emerged an elected Councilor in old Okpe Local Government Council. He later became Chairman of the Sapele Local Government Council.
