Former Delta State Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ika Federal Constituency to place unity and teamwork above individual ambitions in order to drive lasting development.
Addressing party members at the APC Ika Federal Constituency meeting held on Monday at the Vienna Arena in Agbor, Okowa emphasized that cooperation and a shared sense of purpose are vital to the continued growth and progress of the Ika people. He said the real strength of the constituency lies in its ability to work together with respect and a common vision.
The former governor warned against internal divisions and unhealthy rivalry, stressing that collaboration should outweigh competition in both party activities and wider political engagements. According to him, sustainable development can only be achieved when Ika sons and daughters remain united, put aside personal differences, and focus on the collective interest.
Okowa described development as a joint responsibility and encouraged party members to consolidate on existing achievements while harnessing synergy to attract more opportunities and democratic dividends to the constituency. He reiterated that cooperation delivers better results than competition and called on party leaders and stakeholders to remain committed to the overall progress of Ika Federal Constituency and the APC.
The meeting attracted several notable party leaders and stakeholders, including the APC National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka; the Member representing Ika Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Victor Nwokolo; the Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr. Chiedu Ebie; and the Secretary to the Delta State Government, Dr. Kingsley Emu, among others.
The gathering also provided an opportunity to reinforce party unity and renew a collective commitment to peace, cohesion, and sustainable development in Ika land.
