Ex-Bayelsa Gov Hails Obasanjo At 83

The immediate past Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon Seriake Dickson, has felicitated with former President Olusegun Obasanjo on the occasion of his 83rd birthday.
Dickson in a statement yesterday by his media aide, Mr Fidelis Soriwei, described Obasanjo as “a father and a leader.”
He said he was thankful to God for keeping the former president in good health and enabling him “to mentor several generations of leaders, including my humble self.”
The former governor noted that Obasanjo was not only large-hearted but experienced and wise.
Dickson said, “That you are a blessing to this great country, Africa and indeed the world is an understatement.
“In the course of my service as governor for eight years in Bayelsa State, your being available and accessible to provide guidance, advice and counsel as a father at all times, is invaluable and greatly appreciated.”
He prayed God to continually keep the former president in good health.
