Ibru, Architect of modern Delta, says Okowa
-------- To set up a committee to liaise with the family,
Delta state Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa
has described the late Ololrogu Senator Felix
Ovodoraye Ibru as the architect of modern
Delta, saying that as the first civilian governor of
the then young state, he did a lot of spadework to
lay the foundation for it's growth, Governor Okowa who stated this on Tuesday
(22/03/2016) during a condolence visit to the Ibru's
at the family's residence in Lagos, described the
late former governor as a man of great accomplishment, humble, caring and loved by his people. "Our late elder and statesman was a man of great achievement. He did not stop as a governor, he
represented his people as a senator of the Federal Republic and went on to lead the Urhobo Progress
Union as the President General (UPU). That tells you that
he was a great achiever" ,he said, adding " he did
so much to lay foundation for our young state
then. I recall that I was a local Government Chairman when our late elder statesman was the
Governor. My predecessors in office tapped from
his wealth of experience, but now he is gone. I can
say that I feel the loss most".
Okowa disclosed that a committee would be set
up by the state government that would liaise with
the Ibru family on the burial arrangements for the late
former governor.
Governor Okowa urged the family, particularly,
the widow, Chief (Mrs) Matilda Ibru, to be very
strong and remember that God has a reason for
allowing it to happen at a time like this. He then
presented an official latter by the state government to the family which was received by
Chief Goodie Ibru. Chief Goodie Ibru in a welcome address, said the
family is very much appreciated the visit saying it
shows the level of respect the Governor and the
Government of the state has for the Ibru family for
which the family are grateful.

and a statesman. A great community leader,
distinguished Senator and father of our young
state. Adieu, our great leader".
