Ibegbulem Hails Okowa At 67
Former Principal Secretary to the Delta State Government, Hilary Ibegbulem, has described former Delta State Governor and the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Delta North, Ifeanyi Okowa, as an exceptional leader, statesman and patriot.
In a birthday message to the former governor, obtained by The Trumpet on Thursday, Ibegbulem said Okowa’s public service record has been marked by selfless service, purposeful leadership and unwavering commitment to the development of Delta State and the country.
He noted that Okowa’s political journey began as secretary to the former Ika Local Government Council before he became the pioneer Chairman of Ika North-East Local Government Council, saying the early roles laid the foundation for his grassroots political influence and administrative experience.
According to him, Okowa further distinguished himself while serving as commissioner for agriculture and natural resources, commissioner for water resources development and commissioner for health, where he demonstrated capacity in public administration and governance.
