Okowa Receives Campaign Ground Baby

… Redeems Pledge

DELTA State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has redeemed the pledge of N2 million he made to the baby delivered at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign rally at Isiokolo, Ethiope east local government area of the state.

Redeeming the pledge when the baby who was named Ifeanyi was presented to him at Government House, Asaba, the Governor thanked God for the gift of the baby and the presence of medical experts at the campaign rally which ensured that professionals attended to the mother of the baby, Mrs Odiri Imuere during the unexpected labour.

“We thank God for the gift of life; the child is also a lucky child,” the governor said, adding, “God has a reason for everything because, what we witnessed on that day was unique.”

He continued, “we thank God too that we had medical services at the campaign ground.”

“We congratulate the family of the new born child and plead that the fund be managed to the benefit of the baby,”  Governor Okowa stated at the brief but, impressive ceremony.

Chairman of Ethiope east local government, Chief Faith Majemite, introduced the baby and her parents to the Governor, observing that Governor Okowa was known for keeping to his promises.

Father of the baby, Mr Benjamin Imuere, disclosed that the baby named Ifeanyi Victory Imuere has brought a new vista of life to the family, noting that Governor Okowa is a blessing to his family and to Delta State.
 
He thanked God for guiding the governor to ensuring good governance in the state.

Some of those who witnessed the event were the Chairman of PDP Campaign Council, Professor Sam Oyovbaire, Chairman of the party in the state, Chief Kingsley Esiso, among others.

It would be recalled that little Miss Ifeanyi Imuere was delivered during the PDP Campaign rally at Isiokolo, Ethiope East local government area and Governor Okowa on the spot announced a donation of the sum of N2 million for the parents of the baby to open a bank account in her name.
