The governor 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 people and cultures of
our land to the world stage. Today, things
that were thought to be exclusive preserves
of the western world have been made a part
of our society, because you took the bold
initiative to venture into them.
“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 one of the most widely
accepted political slogans of our time.”
Senator Ben Murray Bruce’s common sense
advocacy which has taken over the airwaves
in Nigeria, is in line with the senator’s
mission to change the country for good
through great ideas.
He is unarguably one of the most respected
serving Senators in Nigeria today.
