Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has congratulated the immediate past Deputy Governor of the state, Deacon Kingsley Otuaro, who clocks 56 years on April 16.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, on Tuesday in Asaba, the governor extolled Otuaro for his statesmanly contributions to the ‘Smart Agenda’ and ‘Stronger Delta’ vision of the immediate past administration.

He said: “It is in recognition of these roles that you were honoured with the Niger Delta Peace Ambassador Award 2019 by Daily Independent Newspapers Limited.
“On behalf of my family, the government and people of Delta State, I congratulate you, my dear brother and former Deputy Governor of Delta State, Deacon Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, Esq. on the occasion of your 56th birth anniversary.
