Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, has described Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, as a worthy ambassador of the upper legislative chamber.
Senator Mark said Okowa’s silent revolution in terms of infrastructural development in Delta State was a testimony that he was effectively combining legislative and executive experiences to develop the oil rich state.
According to a statement by his media aide, Paul Mumeh, Mark, in a congratulatory message to Okowa on his 59th birthday noted that “Okowa is a focused and result oriented administrator. The number of projects so far executed by the Okowa’s administration in Delta State, the peace and unity on account of equity and justice to all give me a sense of pride that his Senate experience is paying off.”
Senator Mark was the President of the 7th Senate during which Okowa served as chairman of Senate Committee on Health.
“I can only add that you sustain and indeed improve on these giant strides in Delta State. The people deserve nothing less,” Mark added.
He noted that Okowa was upholding tenaciously the manifesto of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which the governor translated to “prosperity for all Deltans.”

Senator Mark recalled that Okowa could not afford to do less judging from his experiences as secretary to local government, council chairman, commissioner, secretary to the state government, Senator of the Federal Republic and now a governor.
“He has wealth of experiences in leadership and administration which he is bringing to bear. Okowa is an asset and I am sure the people of Delta are proud of him,” Mark added.
