Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Governing Board, Barrister Chiedu Ebie, warmly received members of the Igbo Ezue socio-cultural group at his Agbor, Delta State country.

Igbo Ezue, comprising indigenes of the five South Eastern States residents in Ika land explained that their visit was necessitated by the need to formally familiarise themselves with the NDDC boss especially as the group recently elected new executives.

The group noted that apart from his inspiring leadership style and unprecedented infrastructural developments he has attracted to Ika land, they were further attracted to Ebie because of his maternal connection to Anambra state.

“We have come to visit Barrister Ebie who is part of us, because his mother is from Oba in Anambra state.

“We just had an election and swore in a new executive. So we are here to visit the chairman of NDDC who is part of us, in the sense that his mother hails from Oba in Anambra state. We are here to see our son, our brother, our sister’s child, who is also our leader and chairman of NDDC’’, the group said.

Led on the visit by some prominent elders and notable members of the group such as the immediate past president of Igbo-Ezue, DR. UGHAMADU, Kenneth Azubuike, the newly elected president, Chief Jude Ezeji, Ohamadike1, and Sir Francis Ifeanyi okechukwu, an elder and notable member of the association, the group praised Mr. Ebie inclusive leadership style and pledged their loyalty and unalloyed support to him.

Continuing, Igbo Ezue members stressed that they have come to pledge their loyalty, and support and more particularly thank Mr. Ebie for all the good things that he has been doing in the Ika Federal Constituency, the whole of Delta state and Niger Delta region in general.

“We are also u ng the opportunity provided by this visit to notify our son, who was the Delta state Commissioner for Basic and Secondary education and former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), that we are building a hall here in Agbor and will appreciate whatever way we can partner with NDDC, we are always available. Whatever you want us to do, call on us and we will answer you without delay.

Responding, Barrister Ebie thanked them for the visit and appreciated them for their unflinching support, noting that as far as he is concerned, the group is no longer a stranger to him, because they have always been together.

Recall that a few days ago, during the celebration of the Eid-el-Kabir: the NDDC chairman in his well characterized inclusive leadership approach, celebrated with the Muslim community in the Ika area of the state, donating food items.
