The General Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ward Five, Owanta, in Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State, Mr. Ottah Ewere Monday, has commended the leadership of the Executive Chairman of Ika North-East Local Government Council, Hon. Monday Hunkanma Odigwe, describing him as a humble, experienced and people-oriented leader.
Speaking with an Ika Weekly Newspaper reporter, Mr. Ottah Ewere Monday described Hon. Odigwe as one of the outstanding council chairmen produced by Ika North-East since the return of democracy, noting that his leadership style has endeared him to the people.
He commended the council chairman for facilitating the establishment of the Ebu-Owa Motor Park in Boji-Boji Owa, empowering constituents, grading and rehabilitating roads, as well as providing recreational centres across the local government area.
According to him, Hon. Monday Hunkanma Odigwe’s tenure has brought renewed attention to grassroots development and political participation in Ika North-East. He particularly described the recent empowerment programmes facilitated by councillors in the local government as evidence of efforts to improve the welfare of the people.
Mr. Ewere further expressed his belief that the council chairman enjoys God’s favour, adding that his humility, political experience and leadership approach have continued to speak positively about his administration.
On the political front, the APC Ward Five Secretary used the opportunity to appreciate party supporters in Ika North-East who participated in the recent Delta North Mega Rally. He urged them to sustain the same level of commitment and mobilisation when the house-to-house campaign begins ahead of the 2027 general elections.
While commending the APC Ward Five Chairman and members of his executive for their efforts in strengthening the party at the grassroots, Mr. Ewere also appealed to eligible voters in Owanta Community and beyond who are yet to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to do so.
He emphasised that the PVC remains an important instrument for eligible citizens to exercise their constitutional voting rights during the 2027 general elections.
