Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, today
received Delta State-born Big Brother Naija winner, Efe Michael Ejeba
and called on youths to remain focused in discovering their talents .
Okowa, “wherever our youths find themselves they should be focussed in
achieving their goals, the youths have latent talents deposited in them
they must find ways to develop them and apply them, if you have a
calling, you must not allow that calling to die, you (Efe) despite your
calling, you listened to your parents and went to school which gave you a
good foundation.”
“It was obvious
that there was no controversy about your winning, you avoided the vices,
and showed that you are focused; our youths should find a way to
discover their talents, they should stay committed to their dreams and
pray to God to achieve it,” the Governor said, adding, “there was no
issue of sentiments or tribalism, it shows that you are truly, a
Nigerian.”
Governor Okowa, his
Deputy, Barr. Kingsley Otuaro and members of the State Executive Council
received Efe who was accompanied on the visit by his parents and
members of his family
. The Governor who congratulated Efe on
behalf of the government and people of Delta State, asserted, “there is
no doubt that you have made us proud, a lot of Deltans are happy with
the way you conducted yourself in the Big Brother Naija House, when it
came to time for voting, it was obvious that there was no controversy
about your winning, you avoided the vices, and showed that you are
focused.”
“I am happy that the Okpe Kingdom has given you
that recognition and you are obviously an ambassador of Delta State and
Nigeria; getting to the top may not be easy but, it is also difficult
to sustain; you (Efe) have attained that level that a lot of people are
looking up to you and it is our prayer and hope that you will rise and
keep rising, you have our prayers, be committed,” Governor Okowa
advised. He also, urged the BBN winner to be prayerful for God to
direct His parts, promising that the state would partner with him on
talent discovery of youths.

Governor that he was in Government House to show his appreciation to the
government and people of Delta State, stating, “I am truly grateful for
all you have done, you have unprecedented number of youths working for
you and I say, thank you to everybody that has supported and voted for
