The charge was given Thursday by the political titan and former Governor of the state, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, who lauded the honesty of the Okada Operator, Mr. Augustine Ogun, the Oghara born motorcyclist for returning the missing N700, 000 to its owner barely two weeks ago.
Ibori, in his goodwill message delivered by the Senior Special Assistant to the Delta state Governor, Prince Charles Abutoh, during a programme organized in honour of Augustine Ogun said: “I am indeed overwhelmed with joy on the news from home on the exemplary display of integrity of Mr Augustine Ogun.
“It is even more pleasing that Mr Augustine Ogun is a motorcycle rider with compelling need for money to survive in these harsh economic times”. “He has not betrayed his personality as a worthy son of Oghara kingdom”.
The former Governor however called on other Nigeria youths to emulate the life of honesty of being ones brothers keeper, at all times, as Augustine Ogun.
Chief Emmanuel Ighomena, chairman of the occasion, who doubled as the chairman of the Oghara Advancement foundation in his joyous mood said Augustine Ogun have once again changed the narrative of what naysayers says about the integrity of Oghara people, “We are delighted to be associated with a man of unparalleled integrity in the person of Augustine Ogun”.

Mr. Augustine Ogun, however commended people from all works of life across the globe who have immensely contributed to his life through prayers and gifts ever since the news of how he returned his passenger N700, 000 went viral.
