PDP Ogulagha/Iduwini Ward-11 Caucus Congratulate Ikisa On His Emergence As Chairman, Burutu Local Government Area, Greets Burutu Leaders, Gov. Oborevwori.
The PDP Ogulagha/Iduwini Ward-11 Caucus has extended their heartfelt congratulations to the Chairman, Burutu Local Government Council, Double Chief (Hon.) Combolous Ikisa, on his emergence and succession of his former boss, Hon. Godknows Angele, as Chairman, Burutu Local Government Council.
This was communicated to IduwiniVoice News Desk in a statement jointly signed by the Chairman, Double Chief Evans Etimigba (JP), and the Secretary, Mr. Humphrey Oluku.
“Ogulagha/Iduwini Ward-11 which is the largest in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State have experienced what the duo described as an uncommon favour of God Almighty in recent years, as the Ward is producing her first ever LGA Chairman since the creation of Burutu Local Government Area.” the statement reads in part.
The party Ward Caucus expressed gratitude to God Almighty and the leaders of Burutu PDP, the Burutu Traditional institution, and of course Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori, for supporting the emergence of a Ward-11 man unanimously.
The caucus expressed optimism that having served well as a vice to a performing Chairman like Hon. Godknows Angele, Ikisa will sustain the legacies of his former boss.
Etimigba and Oluku also thanked the Burutu political leadership, traditional institution and Gov. Oborevwori for deeming it fit for Chief Combolous Ikisa to succeed his former boss.
“We the Ogulagha, Iduwini, Kou people and of course the ward-11 people believe this is the first time a sitting LGA Chairman of Burutu Local Government Area is being appointed Commissioner and his vice succeeding him in the history of Burutu LGA.
“We cannot but thank the Burutu Political Leadership and of course our traditional institution for their vital roles and prayers in this matter. We also thank His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for deeming Angele fit for this elevation that has benefited us in Ward-11. May God bless you all abundantly.”
The caucus leadership also wished the executive chairman success in his new office.
IduwiniVoice recall that, Double Chief (Hon.) Combolous Ikisa emerged Chairman of Burutu Local Government Area after Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori appointed his boss, Hon. Godknows Angele as Commissioner for Housing, while serving his second tenure as Burutu LGA Chairman.
Ikisa has since assumed duties as Chairman, having received official handover from his predecessor on Monday the 28 of August, 2023
