Revered Niger Delta youth leader who is the head of surveillance Independent Petroleum Markeiters i of Nigeria (IPMAN) Prince Emmanuel Botu, popularly known as (Olotu) on Friday stated that the unity of Niger Deltans is Key to the region’s development.

Prince Botu made the assertion yesterday in Warri while marking his glowing birth anniversary, stressing that his birth anniversary wishes is that apart from his self development, he wishes to see a more developed Niger Delta and Ijaw nation.

However, the Niger Delta youth leader and renowned philanthropist hinted The Liberator Newspapers Worldwide that he is thankful to the Lord Almighty to enable him see his birth anniversary, stressing that he will continue to be indebted to God for all the good things in his life so far.

Speaking further, the Olotu as he is popularly called has charged Niger Deltans to genuinely love themselves and not betraying themselves before others in the Nigerian state, adding that such behaviour has greatly hampered the progress of the region.

Nevertheless, he stated that the stagnated development in the region over the years is mostly caused by the lack of unity and genuin love among Niger Deltans.

Prince Emmanuel Botu had also added his voice to that of other good spirited Nigerians in congratulating High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo on the recent award of a pipeline surveillance security contract by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Princewill asserted that he will always celebrate and encourage any Niger Deltan that has been contributing meaningfully towards the region’s development, stressing that Botu is one of such personage that has been silently adding value to the region’s development, stating that his good deeds has been under reported over the years.
