The speech delivered on behalf of Inter Party advisory Council [IPAC]  by the chairman IPAC Edo State at the sent forth ceremony organized for the outgoing Edo state INEC REC Hon Bar. Mike Igini on Thursday, June 11th 2015 at Edo state INC Headquarters Benin Auchi Road , Benin City
Our Drar Out going INEC RC, Hon. Bar. Mike Igini.
 Our treasured INEC staffs Edo state INEC,
Security Agencies here represented,
Gentlemen/ women of the Press,
 Members of the Political class Present,
Distinguish Ladies and Gentlemen,
We the members of Edo start IPAC feel highly honored to be part of this important occasion organized today to sent forth a man of high repute, a REC of RECs, an honest, upright, dedicated inspiring and highly organized mortal in the personality of Bar Mike Igini.
As members chairman of various rgistered political parties on ground in Edo state and also members of Edo state IPAC- a body comprising all registered political parties in Nigeria that was midwife by INEC and international bodies under the auspices of UNDP to collaborate with INEC in monitoring and regulating the country’s Political process, we are privileged to come in contact with him in the curse of th build u[p towards the conduct of the 2015  set of elections in Edo state.
Indeed right form January 2015 when he reported for duty in Edo state to the period immediately preceding the elections in March/ April 2015, we do know that he organized several forums to sensitize political gladiators, civil society organizations, Security operatives, and other relevant groups / personalities in the state on the mode of conduct of the elections. W also recalls that even in other similar occasions organized by the National Orientation agency [NOA] and the Nigerian Police Bar Mike Igini was also physically present to do the needful. And we did observed that aside the inspiring oratorical prowess borne out of his personal bent and conviction with which he delivered his speeches, one recurring decimal in all talks was the desire by INEC in Edo state under his watch to deliver credible free, and acceptable and peaceful elections in the state.
Today we can all flash back and nod with satisfaction that this rear gem of a personality especially in the contrast of contemporary day Nigeria actually matched words with action in delivering on promises. We also want to specifically note that the deligencd dwtermination and sincerity of purpose, with which he carried out his duties in this regard, could be seen in his physical presence in flash points Areas like in Orhiomwon LGA where he personally had to monitor and put things in proper shape. Little surprise that for the first time in Edo state relatively fewer electoral cases are in electoral Petition tribunals. Tis to us in IPAC, is  one and perhaps the most ranked measuring rod to adjudged  Bar Mike Igini, as a jolly good fellow who came to Edo state, saw, shaped events ,conquered and is leaving an indelible mark behind.. An indelible mark in the sands of time.
We do also appreciate the fact that h could not have been able to accomplish these marvelous feats all alone as we use the opportunity to recognize and give kudos to all INEC staffs in Edo state, relevant agencies, the civil societies organizations, the Press, and importantly th security agencies under the effective coordination of the Nigerian Police for the notable roles all of them to make the conduct of a highly successful set of elections in Edo state. We thank you all most sincerely for your immense contributions geared at sustaining and deepening our democracy, and in the process ensuring that votes of the people count.
All the same we cannot conclude this speech without once again acknowledging Bar Mike Igini for the sense of direction and the inspiring leadership hr provided towards ensuring a credible, free, fair, acceptable and peaceful 2015 elections in do state. Left alone we of Edo state IPAC and indeed all th good peoples of Edo state would have selfishly wanted  you to still continue to serve here because of your outstanding performance, but we want to believe that God almighty is taking you for higher service elsewhere especially as we know that you are a performer anytime, any day, anywhere. And with personalities like your honorable self around in INEC we see democracy being more deepening in Nigeria. We pray for the best for you and your family always, Just as we wish that God would continue to strengthen and bless you
Thank you All
Prince Frank Ukonga
Chairman Edo IPAC
