Senator Dr. Ifeanyi
Okowa in the spirit of gratitude came home to demonstrate appreciation to his
party leaders, members and supporters.
The Friday empowerment
program at Asaba originally according to some sources was planned for Delta
North Senatorial District, later turned out a state wide carnival of supporters
and empowerment.
The second empowerment
program was designed to create opportunity for the Senator to reach out to the
people, reduce their pains and stress as a result of unemployment and other
social pressure as well as build hope for the future.
I have been in the
Senate for 33 months, I have also tried to be a good representative, by being
focused, knowing that competence, character and commitment defines the level of
one’s success story, Senator Okowa shares with Asaba Post News-Wire.
Answering questions on
his roles in the Senate, Senator Okowa confirmed to us that he has in the past
33 months sponsored twelve bills and believed that when all these bills are
passed and signed into law, the people’s lives will be impacted positively.
Beneficiaries were
drawn from all the local government councils within the three senatorial districts
of the state.
Senator Okowa expressed
appreciation to the President and the Senior Special Assistant to the President
on Millenium Development Goals, whose office donated 100 out of the 150
tricycles beneficiaries smiled home with.
The empowerment program
gave out 123 sewing machines, 56 grinding machines, 25 deep freezers, 20
photocopying machines, 20 computer sets and its accessories.
The program was gender
friendly as 250 women drawn from the three senatorial districts received cash
grants to support their commercial and agricultural enterprises.
Senator Okowa donated one Nissan High roof bus to the
Delta State Primary Health Care Agengy and nine ambulances, one each to the
nine local government councils within the Delta North Senatorial District to
assist in monitoring and providing technical support in Primary Health Care
Delivery and Referral.
Ogbueshi Douglas
Okolotu and Chief David Omoru in their media chat with Asaba Post News-Wire expressed
gratitude, deepen commitment and loyalty
to the Okowa Campaign organization.
Ogbueshi Okolotu pointed out that why this event is
out standing is because in a short stay in office, Senator Okowa has looked
home twice and even gone beyond his senatorial district, a gesture first of its
kind in the state.
Chief Omoru in the same
spirit thanked the Senator for counting his senatorial district worthy of
benefitting from his empowerment program.
Both maintained that
there is no political motivation or under tone attached to the empowerment
program, but stressed that what Deltans are witnessing today is an expression
of the pro-life values the senator believes in.
