Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has described one of the surviving members of Late Major Isaac Adaka Boro's "Twelve day Revolution" Captain (RTD) Sam Owunaro, as a true legend, hero and patriot of Bayelsa State, the Ijaw nation and the Niger Delta.
In a congratulatory message to Owunaro who just clocked 70, the governor recalled the selflessness, commitment and dedication with which they fought for the oil producing minorities of the Niger Delta to be heard and be given their pride of place in the Nigerian nation.
According to him, the government and people of Bayelsa State and especially the Ijaw nation will remain ever grateful and appreciative of the sacrifice he made, alongside Boro and others who fought for equity, justice and fair-play for the long neglected and marginalized people of the Niger Delta region.
The governor noted that, like his departed compatriots, Owunaro will also remain a source of inspiration as well as continue to capture the true essence of the aspirations and the contradictions of the Nigeria nation and the possibilities of the Ijaw people.
