PRESS STATEMENT: "ET SEMPER ROTA ROTABAT"

The thought Gov Otu has towards me is good and not evil.....as a lawyer I have overstayed but it wasn't my fault at all.

There is no harm what Gov Otu and the State Assembly have jointly done. It is to strengthen the law we all swore to uphold.

I have no malice towards none and
 I have never asked any Gov to keep me. They are all alive. 

They have always asked me to stay including gov Otu himself.
 When you see a man diligent in his work, he stands before Kings, Govs and not mean men !!!

With the dissolution of the CRS Council of Chiefs, I have become the longest serving Chairman of the CRS Traditional Rulers Council. 

 Thank you Gov Imoke. Thank you Gov Ayade. Thank you Gov Otu for allowing me to make history. 

I hope and pray that the height I have reached and kept both locally and nationally would be raised even higher in the ensuing years by my successors. In the words of a famous writer "achievers blow no trumpet,     their efforts speak"

Let me express my Profound gratitude to all Traditional Rulers in the State for standing by and supporting me throughout these years. God bless and keep them.

 On my part:
I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining every day;
Still praying, as I onward bound,
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground"

In the words of O.J.O. Sanders, THE EYES THAT LOOK ARE COMMON, THE EYES THAT SEE ARE RARE. 
God bless the Labour Unions, the Nigerian Students and the market women.
