The immediate past Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ika Federal Constituency to prioritise unity and collective action over personal ambitions as a means of achieving sustainable development.
Speaking at the APC Ika Federal Constituency meeting held on Monday at the Vienna Arena, Agbor, Okowa stressed that cooperation and shared purpose are essential for the continued progress of the Ika nation.
He noted that the true strength of the people lies in their ability to work together with mutual respect and a common vision.
The former governor cautioned against internal rivalry and divisive tendencies, insisting that collaboration must take precedence over competition in both party affairs and broader political engagements.
The ex-governor added that meaningful development can only be realised when Ika sons and daughters embrace harmony, set aside differences, and commit themselves to the collective good.
Okowa further described development as a shared responsibility, urging party members to build on existing foundations and leverage synergy to attract greater opportunities and dividends of democracy to the constituency.

“Collaboration is always better than competition,” he said, while calling on party stakeholders to remain focused on advancing the overall interests of Ika Federal Constituency and the APC.
The meeting was attended by prominent party leaders and stakeholders, including the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, and the member representing Ika Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rep. Victor Nwokolo, Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr. Chiedu Ebie, and the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Kingsley Emu, among others.
The gathering also served as a forum to strengthen party cohesion and reaffirm a collective commitment to unity, peace, and progressive development in Ika land.
