Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State has congratulated the Senator representing Bayelsa Central district in the National Assembly, Ben Murray-Bruce on his 60th birthday anniversary, describing him as, “a gift to Bayelsa State and the Ijaw nation.”
The Governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Iworiso-Markson and made available to newsmen in Yenagoa on Saturday, noted that the innovative and creative talents of the lawmaker have in the last three decades opened a positive chapter for Nigeria in the encyclopedia of the global entertainment literature.
The statement reads, “On behalf of the government and people of Bayelsa State, I wish to felicitate with one of our own, one in whom we are so pleased as a State and as a people, Distinguished Senator Ben Murray Bruce, who is arguably the doyen of show business promotion in Nigeria and beyond, an accomplished administrator and media tycoon of inestimable disposition, on the occasion of his Diamond Jubilee celebration.
“Distinguished Senator Murray-Bruce, you are indeed a rare gem and a gift to Bayelsa State and the Ijaw nation. Your innovative and creative talents have in the last three decades projected the cultures of our land.
“As a first time Senator, you have already achieved remarkable milestones and carved an enviable niche for yourself and indeed our people through your now famous “I just want to make Common Sense” cliché, that has clearly become the one of the most widely accepted political slogans of our time.
“As you celebrate, wine and dine on the occasion of your 60thbirthday, do bear mind that, as a Government and as a people, we are extremely proud of your exploits and will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with, as you strive to give greater meaning and commitment to your assignment of representing the people of Bayelsa – East in the senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
