He said that; "Riverine Communities can no longer cope with the developmental deprivation. Sadly, for decades now the riverine Communities have nothing to show for being the people sustaining the state and Nigeria economy, but a sojourn in political wilderness, infrastructural deficit and victims of bad governance in State and the nation at large".

He added  that; "If Warri/Uvwie and Environs Special Area Development Agency bill can become a reality, then the creation of Coastal Area Development Agency is non negotiable, the huge revenue generated from the coastal area to fund the state budget to develop other parts of the state should be a reason for governor Okowa and the Delta State House of Assembly to uphold fairness, justice and equity as regard ensuring the creation of CADA".

"We demand aggressive development, we need another special agency that would address the infrastructural deficits in the coastal area of the State, we need CADA now".
