“At this point in our history where a strange pandemic has forced everybody off work and businesses, we need proactive leaders who can reassure the people that it shall be well; the kind of leaders that will give everybody, irrespective of social status, a sense of belonging.

“That is the quality we have seen in Governor Okowa since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. He proactively shut all borders to the state, to protect the people and has provided adequate facilities that will not only prevent massive spread in the state but will also treat and stabilise cases if they are discovered.”

Ekpo said her group will make efforts at improving the health of Nigerians n rural areas. The group has carried out surveys in rural areas of Delta state and is planning to improve on the health-based supports of the indigent.
