According to the governor, "I give thanks to Almighty God that you are gathered here to celebrate 2018 cultural day in peace and unity; I am very much aware of the importance of Ndigbo to Delta State and the country as a whole, if you are talking about commerce, industry, you must talk about the Igbos."
"If there is any community that has no Ndigbo, that community is not growing, you are industrious and contribute to the economic development of a place," he said, adding, "we are happy that we have united leadership of Ndigbo in Delta Central and South Senatorial Districts and it is good that we are celebrating peace, never again shall we be divided."

While observing that Ndigbos in Delta State have contributed to the development of the state, Governor Okowa urged the youths among them to emulate their parents and be good citizens of the state.

Hon. Michael maintained that Governor Okowa's administration has performed and the people would be very happy to re-elect him, adding, "we gathered here as one indivisible family to celebrate the 2018 Igbo Cultural Day and in remembrance of our fallen heroes, the reflection of a true Igbo identity should be seen; every average Igbo man is seen and known to be hard-working, to derail amounts to self destruction,"
