Board Member to them .
According to Hon. Douglas said, " We are calling on Governor Okowa of Delta State to reverse the appointment of Dr.Paul Bebenemibo, as well as charged Delta State House of Assembly to step down his screening because that position is due for Diebiri kingdom and not Gbaramatu.
Governor Okowa who himself is a product of equity, fairness and justice as regards to rotational representation should do justice and ensure equity prevail in this matter.He should look into the several petititions written against the Desopadec nominee from the Ijaw extraction and correct the abnormality.We are peace loving people, therefore we called on Governor Okowa to bring back our stolen mandate by appointing Diebiri son in the Board of DESOPADEC, Hon. Douglas stated. "
