Management being organised to mark the Governor's 60th birthday in Asaba

made the observation when he paid a courtesy call on Dr. Uduaghan at the

Government House on Monday.
He described Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan as a trail-blazer in engaging in

actions that unite Nigerians despite their ethnic and religious

persuasions.
“I am in Asaba to take part in the discussion on issues affecting our

nation. We should thank the Governor for thinking in that direction, we

should continue to talk, if we want the country to be great, we should

close ranks.
“To find solution to Nigeria's problem, we must come together and talk to

one another. The more we talk to one another, the more we understand one

another, I believe strongly in the application of dialogue to settling all

issues,” reiterating, “we must continue to look at ourselves as one and as

the two major religions in the country preach, we must love one another.”

He observed that peaceful co-existence and harmony could only be achieved

by Nigerians in engaging themselves in frank dialogue rather than relying

on persons that do not understand the cultural, religious and ethnic

colouration of the country.
The Sultan stressed, “we must come together to fight our common enemy

because disease does not know religion or tribe just like poverty.

“We are Nigerians by virtue of God's creation, we must continue to look at

ourselves as brothers, love one another as we are created by one God

despite our different tribes and religion.”
Governor Uduaghan thanked the Sultan for coming to Delta State for the

lecture and described the Sultan as a bridge builder who believed in the

unity of Nigeria .
“Since  you assumed the throne of your forefathers as the Sultan, you have

been one of the greatest Ambassadors of peace in Nigeria, you have moved

across this country and beyond preaching peace.
“I know that God will reward your efforts to give us peace in Nigeria and

I want to assure you that Delta State will continue to partner with you in

bringing peace to Nigeria,” the Governor said, adding that his

administration would continue to engage in actions that would unite

Nigerians.
