He stressed that they are all balanced leaders in Gbaramatu Kingdom, opining that through them people across board have built houses, graduated from schools, financially empowered, successful businessmen, women, gainfully employed as the circle continues.

In his words: “On behalf of myself, family and members of the John Dekawei Foundation (JDF), I celebrate these two great sons of Gbaramatu Kingdom for their tireless efforts in confronting the darkest challenges bedeviling the Ijaw nation, they are like institutions of progress, I am so proud of them.

“George is like a flower of hope , growing among the people, while the Nigerian business mogul, Mathew Tonlagha is a solution to the people, it is my prayer that the Lord Almighty shall continue to grant the duo long life and prosperity.”
