From the events of today, we can observe that our celebrant is a woman loved by all. She is an example worthy of emulation by women and everyone as a great wife, an inspiring political leader, a woman proud of her Anioma heritage and one of substance.

Speaking further, Mrs Ali who is a member of the South South Reconciliation Committee of the APC, said " looking at the party people gathered here, you will agree with me that it is not fair for one man to insist on controlling the destiny of progressives in delta.

Therefore all we desire is justice, peace and equity. We are not troublemakers, rather we are committed progressives in the journey to rescue Delta state."
