''Let me thank my brother, the governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for the great work he is doing for our party and for the people of Delta state.
"I had planned to visit Delta for a long time; I was salivating because many of these projects I saw them on television.
"I am particularly happy that I am inaugurating this road named after my good friend the late Amb. Ralph Uwechue, was a great intellectual, diplomat, and journalist and he deserves the honour that Delta has extended to him.
"You have done well for honouring citizens that have done well in contributing to the development of Delta and Nigeria.
"Delta indigenes have put Nigeria on the map in different ways, including soccer."
Ayu commended Deltans for their massive support for the PDP since 1999 and urged them to remain steadfast in support of the party in the forthcoming general elections.
On his part, Governor Okowa said that the project was dear to his heart because it had provided a permanent solution to the hitherto perennial flooding in the state capital.
He said that his administration had to undertake the project in spite of huge financial challenges when he came into office.

Recall that Governor Okowa had on Tuesday, February 22 called on Nigerians, particularly Christians, to participate actively in the political process through voting at elections and in advocacy for good governance and credible leadership.
The governor made the call in a keynote address entitled "The Christian and Responsibility" which he delivered at the Standing Committee Meeting of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) held at All Saints Cathedral, Rumuokwurusi, Port-Harcourt, Rivers state.
He said that Christians must exercise their right to vote and elect leaders that would govern them, adding that it was doubtful if 50 percent of eligible voters among Christians voted at elections.
