The celebration which took place at the Oginibo residence of Comrade Izeze was attended by PDP members from other Ughievwen communities and those from Ewu and Olomu kingdoms were also present during the celebration.
Political leaders and party faithful from Oginibo thanked Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for appointing an illustrious son of the community as Commissioner for Works, Highways and Urban roads in the person of Comrade Izeze.
The high point of the event was the vote of implicit confidence passed on Gov. Oborevwori, his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor his Deputy, Rt. Hon. Arthur Akpowowo and Comrade Izeze.
Moving the motion for the vote of confidence on the governor, Chief Andrew Desi who is Oginibo PDP’s top leader, commended the governor for the way his M.O.R.E Agenda is impacting positively on the lives of Deltans, describing his administration as one with a human face.

And for the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor and Rt. Hon.
