The President of the Delta Youth Transformation Movement (DYTM), Sir Isioma Melekwe, heartily congratulates the immediate Past Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, on the successful conduct of the Ika North-East Local Government Area Congress of the APC.

The peaceful, transparent, and well-coordinated exercise that culminated in the emergence of Hon. Emeke Asiwe as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party Chairman in Ika North-East LGA stands as a remarkable demonstration of political maturity, internal democracy, and progressive leadership.

According to him, the emergence of Hon. Emeke Asiwe reflects the collective will of party faithful and the readiness of stakeholders to entrust responsibility to capable and forward-thinking individuals who can strengthen party structures and deepen democratic values at the grassroots level.

The successful congress in Ika North-East LGA reinforces the belief that sustainable political growth can only be achieved through inclusiveness, fairness, and the deployment of tested hands who understand the yearnings of the people.

The DYTM President further commended party leaders, delegates, and stakeholders who ensured that the exercise was conducted in an atmosphere of peace and cooperation. He emphasized that such orderly processes not only strengthen party cohesion but also inspire confidence among the electorate.

Sir Melekwe expressed confidence that Hon. Emeke Asiwe will justify the trust reposed in him by building bridges across divides, mobilizing party faithful, and positioning the APC in Ika North-East LGA for greater success in future electoral engagements. He urged all party members to rally behind the new chairman in the spirit of unity, progress, and collective advancement.

“His emergence has shown that our political class is ready to deploy capable hands for a better democracy. This victory is not for one individual but for all who believe in progressive leadership and democratic consolidation,” he stated.
