The Alake on the occasion hailed the virtues of the Governor and commended him for his tenacious struggle for resource  control. Speaking through one of his High Chiefs, the monarch said his decision to bestow the chieftaincy title on the Governor and his  wife was informed by the way the Governor has proved to be a completely detribalised Nigerian by building bridges of  friendship and goodwill across the Rivers Niger and Benue, maintaining that “he who sows goodwill will only reap goodwill and  he who builds bridges will cross bridges.” In his response, the new Fiwagboye of Egbaland, Chief Victor Attah, who was installed on the anniversary of the September 11  terrorist attacks on the United States said that it is indeed possible for people to live together in peace and unity despite their  diverse races and religion. According to him, “the hitherto relationship between Akwa Ibom and Ogun States and indeed the  rest of the West has already been great, so there’s no point going over all that, merely to say that today is popularly called in all  parts of the world as 911. “911 has memory that are not so pleasant, but today we are celebrating unity, today we are celebrating peace, today we are  celebrating harmony, today we are celebrating brotherhood and we are demonstrating to the world that it is indeed possible for  brothers, however diverse, to live together in harmony and peace to make a better world for all of us.” The Ekpe, Ekpo and other masquerades, dancers and groups from Akwa Ibom and Ogun states added colour to the installation  ceremony attended by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Uffot Ekaette, who represented the President and  his wife, Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Alhaja Salimat Badru who represented Governor Gbenga Daniel, representative of  Governor Peter Odili of Rivers State, Senators, members of the House of Representatives and traditional rulers from Akwa  Ibom State.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
