Former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei, has commended the All Progressives Congress (APC) for what he described as a remarkable demonstration of unity, internal democracy, and political maturity at its 8th National Convention held in Abuja.

Ochei praised the peaceful and widely accepted consensus process that led to the re-election of Nentawe Yilwatda as National Chairman, alongside other members of the party’s National Executive Committee.

He noted that the overwhelming endorsement by delegates reflects renewed confidence in the party’s leadership and a shared commitment to strengthening its progressive ideals.

As a member of the Convention’s Ceremonial, Programme and Protocol Committee, Ochei described the exercise as a defining moment for the APC, highlighting its institutional strength and readiness to deepen democratic governance.

He also expressed strong confidence in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, affirming that the administration remains on track to deliver transformative reforms that will drive sustainable national development.

Speaking on developments in Delta State, Ochei commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for successfully hosting the 2026 South-South Congress in Asaba, as well as the orderly and exemplary conduct of Delta delegates at the national convention.

According to him, these developments underscore the state’s strategic importance and firm commitment to securing decisive victories for the APC in the 2027 general elections.

Ochei also played an active role in the Delta State elective congress held on March 3, 2026, at the Cenotaph in Asaba, where he moved the motion for the dissolution of the State Executive Council, paving the way for the emergence of new leadership under Solomon Arenyeka through a consensus-driven process.

Reaffirming his reputation as a seasoned grassroots mobiliser and statesman, the President of the Nigeria Tennis Federation emphasized his enduring ability to build consensus, strengthen institutions, and inspire collective action for the common good.

He stressed that his leadership style remains anchored on discipline, inclusivity, and a results-driven approach—qualities he continues to deploy in promoting unity within the party and advancing sustainable development across Delta State and beyond.

The President of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), Chief Oliver Patrick Ityohegh, has reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to humanitarian service, stressing the importance of supporting vulnerable people and improving community welfare beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day.

Ityohegh stated this during the organisation’s Cauldron Night and Award Presentation held to commemorate its 2026 Humanitarian Day celebration, theme: “Humanity First: Advancing Hope, Dignity and Community Well-being.” organised by the DNKI Abuja Chapter.

He emphasised that humanitarian service should be a continuous responsibility driven by compassion, solidarity and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in society.

According to him, DNKI’s humanitarian activities reflect its dedication to giving back to society and supporting people in need, while encouraging members to sustain initiatives that promote human dignity and community well-being.

He added that the organisation would continue to strengthen its humanitarian engagements through practical interventions aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable people and promoting community development.

Speaking at the event, the representative of the Abuja Chapter Chairman and Chairman of its Advisory Council, Prince Efiong Okpe, said the organisation’s humanitarian activities extended beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day on October 15.

Okpe explained that DNKI undertook several initiatives throughout the year, including blood donation exercises, visits to hospitals and correctional centres, as well as support for orphanages and other vulnerable groups.

According to him, the organisation also collaborated with humanitarian bodies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to identify areas of need and provide assistance within its available resources.

He described Humanitarian Day as an opportunity for members to renew their commitment to service and demonstrate solidarity with people facing difficult circumstances.

Earlier, the Chairman of the Planning Committee and Coordinator of the DNKI Gwagwalada Zone, Mr Etudaiye Hamzat, disclosed that the chapter had provided financial assistance to some members to help pay their children’s school fees, alongside distributing bags of rice and other relief items to members experiencing hardship.

Hamzat explained that the interventions followed concerns over the difficulties some members faced in meeting their family responsibilities, particularly the rising cost of their children’s education.

He maintained that supporting members in need was consistent with the organisation’s humanitarian principles, adding that DNKI remained committed to extending assistance to non-members and vulnerable communities as part of its commitment to leading by example.

Looking ahead, Hamzat said the Abuja Chapter planned to expand its humanitarian outreach to remote communities within the FCT, with particular attention to orphanages, schools and widows facing difficulties in meeting their family responsibilities.

He also recalled previous interventions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), which included the distribution of food, clothing and educational materials, noting that the chapter intended to scale up such initiatives in the coming year.

The highlight of the event was the presentation of awards to outstanding members and distinguished non-members in recognition of their contributions to humanitarian service.
