Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has felicitated with the President of the Senate, Dr Olubukola Abubakar Saraki on the occasion of his 54th birthday anniversary on Monday, December 19, 2016.
According to Governor Okowa, the sterling contributions of Distinguished Senator Bukola Saraki to the development of Nigeria and the legislature are legendary and commendable.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Charles Aniagwu, the Governor eulogized Saraki's tremendous contributions and outstanding accomplishments in the service of his country over the years as a two term Governor, Chairman of Governor's forum, distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and President of the Senate in the 8th Assembly.
"As Chairman of the 8th National Assembly, it is on record that over 22 Bills were passed within the first anniversary of the Assembly including the long delayed Disability Bill.
"You have significantly achieved milestones in the execution of your Legislative Agenda which aims to improve governance, ease of doing business and the quality of life of Nigerians, especially those at the lower rung of the ladder.
“On the auspicious occasion of your 54th birthday anniversary, I join your family, friends and well-wishers to thank Almighty God for your life which has been marked by outstanding accomplishments and enduring fulfillment.
“On behalf of my family, the Government and people of Delta State, I congratulate you and pray that Almighty God continues to strengthen, guide and prosper you,” adding “As you deservedly celebrate this anniversary, it is my prayer that Almighty God continues to bless you with robust health and many more years of happiness.
“I join your family, friends and well-wishers to thank Almighty God for His continued guidance, protection and provision for you in the past 54 years of a life of forthrightness and outstanding patriotism with which He has blessed you."
According to Aniagwu, the Governor wishes the Senate President, a very happy 54th birthday celebration and prays that God Almighty grant him many more years of good health and strength to continue with his devotion to making Nigeria a society governed by the tenets of rule of law and justice.
