2027:  Aniocha South Shuts Down For Okowa

Former Governor of Delta State and Delta North Senatorial candidate, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, on Thursday received a rousing welcome in Aniocha South Local Government Area as party leaders, traditional rulers, stakeholders and supporters turned out for his campaign tour.

The crowd, chanting "Forward Together" and "Maka Oganihu Anioma", thronged the Aniocha South Event Centre, waving APC flags and placards bearing Okowa's image.
Addressing the gathering, Okowa thanked the people for their support, recalling his last visit to the area during a period of confrontation.

"You will recall that I came here in the past and that was during the confrontation. Now I have returned first to say thank you for your support," Okowa said.
"We are counting on Aniocha South because we know that you are capable."
He said if leaders, traditional rulers and supporters work together, respect each other's views and accommodate one another, they can deliver massive votes.

"But we rest assured that a vote for myself, for the Senate, and a vote for Rt. Honourable [House of Reps candidate] and all other candidates of the party is a vote that is not wasted. It's a vote that will bring dividends of democracy to our people," he said.
Okowa stressed dialogue, unity and collective efforts towards the progress and development of Delta North.

The tour is part of his ongoing campaign across Delta North ahead of the 2027 general elections.Okowa had on Wednesday joined APC leaders and stakeholders at campaign rallies in Oshimili North and Oshimili South, where he met with supporters and restated the party's commitment to the progress of Delta North.

In a post on his Facebook page after the event, Okowa said he was deeply appreciative of the warm reception from traditional rulers, party leaders, stakeholders and supporters in Aniocha South.

"I had the privilege of engaging with the people of Aniocha South during my campaign tour. I am deeply appreciative of the warm reception from our traditional rulers, party leaders, stakeholders and supporters. The turnout was a strong expression of the importance our people place on dialogue, unity and the future of Anioma," he wrote.
"I remain grateful for their goodwill and support. Our collective responsibility is to build on our shared heritage and pursue the progress, development and prosperity of Delta North. Together, we can achieve more."
