Former Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, has pledged to provide effective and people-oriented representation for Delta North Senatorial District after emerging victorious in the All Progressives Congress senatorial primary ahead of the 2027 general election.

Okowa clinched the party’s ticket after defeating incumbent senator Ned Nwoko in the primary election.

Reacting to his victory, the former governor thanked party supporters and constituents for the confidence reposed in him, promising to serve the district with dedication and sincerity.

“I thank my people for the love they have showered upon me, and I pray that the Lord God will continue to energize me to do the best I can for the whole of Delta North,” Okowa said.

“I have one promise: that I will serve the people with all my heart.”

He also emphasised the importance of elected representatives remaining accessible and connected to the people they represent.

“I expect to return home as regularly as possible to greet our people. You cannot be a senator and stay away from your people because they sent you to represent them,” he added.

Okowa further assured residents of Delta North that he would remain available and responsive to their needs if elected into the Senate.

“I shall be a good representative of the good people of Delta North. Whenever my presence is needed, they will surely find me,” he said.
