Senator Lokpobiri is not only the first Petroleum Minister from Bayelsa West Senatorial District, but in fact the only minister of Ijaw extraction in the present federal cabinet.
I congratulated and encouraged him for the achievements recorded by his ministry in this difficult time in the life of our country
As everyone knows, it has been my policy to build unity, promote team work and consensus and mobilize support for any of our people at the federal level irrespective of political affiliations.
We called for support and prayers for the minister. We also told him that we trust in his knowledge and capacity to bring development to our people in the senatorial district, the state, the entire Ijaw nation, the Niger Delta and Nigeria as a whole.” He said.
