Delta Ijaw APC Leaders presented issues of how the party will be strengthened. Such as appointment, extension of electricity to Ijaw communities, foreshore protection, upcoming Congress, youth empowerment, More Aides, development, Education, etc.

In their separate speech, High Chief Michael Johnny and APC state financial secretary, Chief Theodore Ezonfade, who made the appeal, noted that Delta Ijaw had been neglected by the PDP-led state government in the provision of democracy dividends since 1999.

“We have suffered the consequences of bad leadership; the Bomadi General Hospital and other government facilities are in shambles, and there’s no electricity in Bomadi. We need your help”, they said.
