Addressing journalists who accompanied her to cover the epoch making event, Hon. Adigwe said:

Speaking to headmasters and headmistresses of the various schools she visited, the Vice Chairman hinted that the programme which benefited 100 pupils is just a pilot scheme and will be replicated in secondary and tertiary institutions with time.

The beneficiaries include pupils from Umomi Primary School, Ewulu; Isikiti Primary School, Isheagu; Mgbalamgba Primary School, Isheagu and Enede Primary School, Nsukwa.

Others are Obiezeamaka Primary School, Nsukwa; Ekelieke Primary School Ashama; Aniga Primary School, Adonte; Igwe Primary School, Ukwu-Oba, Ulogwe Primary School, Umute, ILLOH Primary School, Egbudu Akah, Ejeme Aniogor Primary School, Ejeme Unor Primary School and Dugbo Primary School Obidugbo.

Following the mal administrations of the ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC), the Delta State Coordinator of Coalition of Youth Support Group Initiative 4 Atiku/Okowa (CYSGI), Mr. Emeka Okafor has called on all youths and citizens of Nigerians to rise from their indolence and take the bull by the horns in order to hit the ground running.

Speaking during an interview with our reporter, in his home country Ogwash-Uku, the CYSGI Chieftain, stressed the need for Nigerians to come together in one spirit and vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in all ramifications in this forthcoming elections, so as to displace the All Progressive Congress (APC),  the present ruling party and end their upheavals in the country.

Mr Okafor advised  youths and Nigerians, to vote massively for PDP across the 36 states of the country so that power can shift in the hands of credible PDP candidates.

Mr Okafor has through his pressure group been campaigning for the holder of PDP Presidential candidate (Atiku/Okowa) and all other credible candidates of the party,  in the State, Local Government and down to the grass root of the 25 Local Government of Delta State.

Consequent to the inefficiency and incompetence of the ruling party to curb and ameliorate the evils and crimes prevalent in Nigeria, the CYSGI Coordinator has further lamented his dissatisfaction, and urged all Nigerians to nip in the bud so that sanity can return back to the country, saying that non participation of youths in this forthcoming elections may worsen the conditions of the country to a state of anarchy.

The CYSGI Coordinator addressed the state of insecurity and killings in Nigeria as vicious to peace and order, and hampers human rights, particularly right to life and freedom of movement, condemning the ruling party’s silence to remedy the grievous breach on citizens to exercise their human rights and described such act as contributory negligence.   

Owing on the credibility and accountability of past administration of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar in promoting democracy, and providing scholarships to students, as well as his agricultural projects in the past and currently on going which will improve the lives of Nigerians, the CYSGI Chieftain described Atiku/Okowa as the best men for the job in 2023

In his determination to ensure victory for the Party, Mr. Okafor has sacrificed a lot of his personal resources, financially and otherwise to create awareness to Nigerians in order for them to vote conscientiously in the next elections, he achieved this using various mediums, such as printing of T-shirts and caps for members of his group and intending ones, the internet, Whatsapp platforms, Newspapers, Facebook, PDP rallies etc,

The cerebral mother of Anioma Nation and an advocate of proper womanhood, HRM Obi Martha Dunkwu (Omu Okpanam/Omu Anioma/Nneoha) has described the Delta State Governor’s daughter and PDP candidate for Ika North East Constituency seat, Barr. (Mrs.) Marilyn Okowa-Daramola as an epitome of beauty and sound moral values.

The Omu Anioma sent these fine words as statement to the media, to qualify the person of Mrs. Okowa-Daramola as she felicitates with her on her birthday, which is marked today, 11th January, 2023.

Omu Dunkwu further acknowledged in her statement that, she has seen and interacted with children of big men in her years in corporate business but has found something different and spectacular about Mrs. Okowa-Daramola in character, conduct and consummate interpersonal relationship with people she comes in contact with.

Her words, “Many dread to come close to us as if we come from a different planet as Omus. But one thing was striking the very first day I met this awesome lady. I had just noticed that someone ran and knelt down to greet me. She was full of candour and respectability, exuding the aura of proper home grooming. She said she had seen me at various events from afar and she had heard me speak and she was proud of a mother that I am. All this while that the drama lasted, I was just looking and wondering what manner of a lady could this be. In the end, the introduction came and I was like ‘No Wonder’.

“My No Wonder came from a point of keen observation. I have specifically and carefully studied the First Lady of the State, Dame Edith Okowa and honestly, she is different from other good First Ladies I have known and interacted with.

“My No Wonder was no wonder, this is where the semblance and moral values came from. While the mother is doing so much mentoring women in the State and empowering them, Mrs. Marilyn Okowa-Daramola has devoted so much time and energy in mentoring and empowering the girl children in skills development and entrepreneurship empowerment as the then SSA to the Governor on Girl Child.

“I am proud of her. Since that first encounter, I have taken usual notice of her activities. And I am happy that she is in the race to represent her people in the State House of Assembly. She will make us proud as a woman; her types are earnestly needed in politics, to make a difference, particularly for women.

“Today is a special day for you dear Marilyn Okowa-Daramola; I celebrate you. Happy birthday to you dear and many blissful returns. I pray that respect will not be far from you and that your desire to change the course of women will be actualized. I look forward to celebrating more of you on the day of your swearing-in by the grace of God, when you shall have emerged as the next Member representing your Constituency in the State Parliament”, Omu Dunkwu wished the celebrant.

Barr. (Mrs.) Marilyn Okowa-Daramola was a former SSA to the Governor on Girl Child, currently vying for the House of Assembly seat of her Ika North East Constituency and today is her birthday.
