In a stirring display of cultural pride and bipartisan goodwill, prominent Delta leader and business executive, Doghor Boyo, has warmly welcomed Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, to her ancestral homeland during her official visit to Delta State.
Describing the visit as both symbolic and historic, Dr. Boyo said the First Lady’s return to her roots transcends political divides and underscores the enduring bond of shared heritage. Though a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he stressed that cultural identity remains a stronger unifying force than party affiliation.
“I welcome our sister, Senator Remi Tinubu, to her motherland, Erubooooo,” he declared. “Though we may belong to different political parties, we are joined together by our mother tongue and our shared Delta heritage. We are proud of you.”
The visit drew enthusiastic receptions from sons and daughters of the soil, who gathered to celebrate what many described as a defining moment for the state.
For Dr. Boyo, the homecoming represents more than ceremonial symbolism; it offers an opportunity for renewed federal attention and meaningful development across Delta communities.
He expressed optimism that the First Lady’s presence would translate into tangible benefits, particularly in areas aligned with her advocacy, including women’s empowerment, youth development and social welfare initiatives.
“We are hopeful that your visit will bring positive changes to our communities and to Delta State at large,” he added.
Dr. Boyo concluded with a strong affirmation of cultural pride and national unity, invoking traditional reverence and patriotic sentiment.
“Long live the Olu of Warri. Long live Warri Kingdom. Long live Delta State. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
