Speaking to the church congregation from the book of Psalm 27 verse 4, Primate Ogbodogbo admonished the congregation to inquire from God the heart of love and show love to their neighbor saying, “Remember somebody in the days of milk and honey, when things are well with you and do good to your neighbour”.

He stated that, he was overwhelmed with roads construction by Governor Okowa in Isoko South and North local government area of the state, noting that the road dualization from Ozoro through Iyede in Isoko North to Ughelli North local government area under construction has boosted the social and economic lives of the people.

The clergyman maintained that Governor Okowa has resuscitated the social economic status of Oleh metropolis through the completion and accreditation of the law and engineering faculty of the Delta State University Oleh Campus. Primate Ogbodogbo commended Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa for Isoko Development Union secretariat, which according to him wears a new look with structural development that shows Oleh is recognized among developing communities in Delta State.

He commended Amadhe for his doggedness and love for Isoko nation, noting that the present secretariat of Isoko Development Union is his effort. He added that past president generals’ of Isoko nation could not achieve what Amadhe has achieved.
