Chief Sheriff Mulade, on his part, stated: Peace is life and life is Peace. We need peace in the entire Nation. Some guest speakers are coming from outside Delta. We are looking at September 23.  The planning process, will be carried out by a joint team. We are mobilizing the Itsekiri, Ijaw and Urhobo of the three Warris. We are looking at a maximum of 100 participants”.

 

 

 

In his response, Dr. Tidi, averred: “Thank you all for your patience and understanding, especially Comrade Mulade. September is ideal for the proposed programme. You people are truly determined to strengthen the peaceful co-existence of the ethnic groups. You guys have invested enough on human capital development and peace building.

 

 

 

 “We will give you all the support from the Council axis. The purpose of government is to protect lives and property. I will encourage my colleagues to support the summit. Posterity will judge you guys for what you are doing”.
