UGHELLI— DELTA State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, yesterday, extolled the qualities of his Senior Political Adviser, Chief Ighoyota Amori, describing him as one of the pillars of politics in the state.

Uduaghan, at an open air service to mark the 60th birthday celebration of Chief Amori at his country home, Mosogar, Ethiope West Local Government Area of the state, noted that the Senior Political Adviser had contributed in no small way to the development of the state.

Represented by his deputy, Prof Amos Utuama, the governor said the legacies of the state government could not be divorced from the contributions of Chief Amori “as a political mobilizer.”

Noting that Chief Amori has served his people creditably, he maintained that Amori has turned the otherwise rural Mosogar community into an urban centre.

Speaking to newsmen moments after, Chief Amori thanked God for His goodness upon his life and his family, saying; “I am particularly grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the development of Delta State and Mosogar community.”

Amori said he would not relent in his support for the administration of Dr Udughan, whom he said further gave him a platform as the Senior Political Adviser to serve the people of the state.
