Ijaw Council of Traditional Rulers have described the Delta South senatorial district candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the forthcoming general elections, Hon. Joel-Onowakpo Thomas as the best suited for the position.

Prayers were also offered by the monarchs at the palace of the Paramount Ruler of Ogulagha Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Elder Capt King Joseph I. Timiyan JP, in Warri, Warri South local government area of Delta State, during a consultative visit by Joel-Onowakpo.

On behalf of the Ijaw monarchs, HRM Timiyan, who is the chairman of Ijaw traditional rulers council, described Joel-Onowakpo as a man with rich profile, adding that his personality speaks volume.

The Ogulagha monarch expressed confidence in the APC candidate in winning the election, saying it will be a good development to have another Ijaw-speaking senator at the National Assembly after the expiration of Senator James Manager’s tenure.

He therefore urged all Ijaw sons and daughters to support and vote Joel-Onowakpo come February 25, 2023.

According to him, the Chartered Accountant cum politician has shown proficiency in time, human and resources management, noting that Delta south will take its rightful position when the APC candidate is elected to represent the district.

 

“Your kind is rare. Without looking at your profile and qualifications, your personality alone commands respect and your articulation shows good leadership qualities. I am happy and proud seeing you speak Ijaw so fluently. This means another Izon-speaking man will be at the senate after James Manager,” Timiyan said.

 

Earlier Joel-Onowakpo said he has served in three different spheres in his public life – a successful businessman, a public servant with track records and a civil servant who retired as an assistant director.
