The creation of the sports commission is a testament to your vision, passion and commitment to repositioning the state in Nigeria’s sporting firmament.”
“We are grateful to you for your leadership and support, which has seen our beloved state begin to excel in national competitions and its sons and daughters blazing the trail in international sporting events. As you celebrate today, we join the people of Edo State and millions of Nigerians proud of the leadership and direction you are providing for Edo State, and the bridges you are building across tribal and religious divides, to honour you.”
Dudu-Orumen concluded by wishing the governor a Happy Birthday and prayed that God continues to strengthen him and put him in good stead to continue to the good work he has been doing for Edo state and Nigeria.
