Delta NDC Candidate Iyovwaye Advocates for State RESET

Deacon Chris Iyovwaye, the Nigeria Democratic Congress governorship candidate in Delta State, delivered an Independence Day address emphasizing the need for the state to achieve independence from poverty, unemployment, insecurity, and failed leadership. He urged Deltans to "reset" the state ahead of the 2027 governorship election, reflecting on Nigeria's 66 years of independence and questioning the true freedom of citizens from hunger and fear.

Iyovwaye highlighted Delta's rich natural resources, including crude oil and fertile land, yet criticized the poor living conditions and infrastructure, stating that many young residents are leaving the state for better opportunities. He proposed a "RESET" agenda focusing on changing mindsets, diversifying the economy, and strengthening public institutions.

Iyovwaye committed to reducing dependence on federal allocations, promoting industrialization, converting gas to power, and supporting mechanized farming to create opportunities for youth.
