The contest, which drew attention across Delta State’s political landscape, ended with Okowa emerging as the party’s flagbearer ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking after the primary, Okowa said he is committed to maintaining close contact with the electorate and ensuring that their concerns are reflected in national discussions.
“I thank my people for the love they have showered upon me, and I pray that the Lord God will continue to energize me to do the best I can for the whole of Delta North,” he said.
He added that his focus would remain on service and accessibility if elected into the Senate.
“I have one promise: that I will serve the people with all my heart,” Okowa said.
He also emphasized the importance of physical presence and regular engagement with constituents, noting that representation should not be distant.
“I expect to return home as regularly as possible to greet our people. You cannot be a senator and stay away from your people because they sent you to represent them,” he said.
Okowa concluded by assuring constituents that he would remain reachable and responsive throughout his tenure if elected.
“I shall be a good representative of the good people of Delta North. Whenever my presence is needed, they will surely find me,” he said.
