GCON Media, an Agbor, Delta state based socio-political pressure Group has congratulated the Chairman, Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and Co-founder of Delta Unity Group (DUG), Mr. Chiedu Ebie, as he marks his birthday January 2, 2026.
The group eulogised Ebie’s leadership style and philosophy describing his political ideology as resounding, exemplary and legendary. GCON Media further commended the NDDC Board Chairman’s unflinching commitment to the development of the Niger Delta, his Ika Federal constituency inclusive.
GCON remarks were contained in a birthday congratulatory message signed by Vincent Jude Palmer Jnr, dated Friday January 2, 2026, and made available to newsmen in Agbor, headquarters of Ika South Local Government Area, Delta state.
The group wished Ebie good health of mind and body, more wisdom and all-round blessings on his birthday noting that he enjoys respect, honour, recognition and adoration among his people, for his steadfast contributions to the socio-economic, infrastructural and human capital development of the Ika nation in particular and Delta state in general.
“Mr. Ebie is one of the outstanding political leaders in Ika land that have touched our hearts in many more ways. His infrastructural revolution and commanding height on developments and the socio-economic support of the people, particularly the common masses, are proof of his genuine leadership style acceptable by the grassroots”, GCON Media said
The group further disclosed that “the organic support the NDDC boss enjoys in the Ika federal constituency is the reason the people are never tired of voicing their heartfelt appreciation to him, as at every juncture, they let it be known to the world that their illustrious son is selfless, a pathfinder, an achiever and goal-oriented whose public service trajectory is not only exemplary but legendary”
GCON had in a similar statement issued a while ago observed that “at a recent NDDC-powered International Youth Day celebration, with the theme, “Youth Advancement and Cooperation Through Technology and Partnership” held at Agbor, Ebie was fervently praised by Ika youths for his unprecedented infrastructure and human capital development attracted to the area, describing his leadership style as inclusive and people-focused.
Notedly, the event was organised by the NDDC in partnership with the Noble Hope Empowerment Foundation. Speaking during the celebration which brought together youths from across Delta State to discuss opportunities in technology, leadership, and partnership as a pathway for growth and cooperation, Mr. Ikechukwu Sylvester, youth leader of Ward 2 in Ika North-East Local Government Area, lauded Barrister Ebie’s unwavering commitment towards the infrastructure provision and sustainable development of Ika nation and immense contributions of the current Board and Management of NDDC to the Niger Delta’s development.
He had said: “The man, Chiedu Ebie, has done well. Things like this have never been done here before. All the street lights you are seeing in Ika today were put in place by this man. We thank God for him, and we also pray that God will continue to strengthen President Tinubu, who gave us this kind of person in the Niger Delta.”
Egime Juliet, another participant, had expressed delight at being part of the programme, describing Ebie, the NDDC Board Chairman, who was variously Delta state Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, and Secretary to the State Government (SSG), as God sent and a gift to the Niger Delta, especially the Ika nation.
According to her, “the NDDC chairman is doing well, he is a gift to us from God, he is God sent, a precious gift from God to the Niger Delta people, particularly the Ika nation. This programme is really for the youth, and I never expected it. This is the first time I have attended such a programme, and I am happy to be part of it. Whatever we have been taught today, I will put into practice. May God bless the man for us.”
While eulogizing Mr Ebie for the programme, Alika Clement, a participant, concurred with previous speakers, noting that the initiative had brought visible changes to communities.
His words: “Everything my brother has said is correct. Nobody expected that somebody like this could do all these things. Some of the street lights we are seeing today were put in place by this man. The Commission has existed, but we never saw things like this physically before. Now people can gather together and benefit. We pray God continues to strengthen him.”
While they prayed for, and wished him good health and more fruitful years ahead, GCON Media called on Ika nation in particular and Deltans in general to support Mr. Ebie’s leadership style and political ideology as it is characterized by inclusivity and people focused.
