He urged Deltans to be united and courageous in telling the authorities to do the right thing, noting that what is needed to put the state on the path of progress is attitudinal change and political culture that would strengthen the policies of the state.
in his words, ” Deltans should be security conscious in the face of current insecurity in the Country.
