A media expert, Fred Akpewe, has urged the people of Delta North to consider legislative competence, strategic influence, and measurable impact in choosing their representative in the senate.
He specifically called for the return of Senator Ned Nwoko to the Red Chamber, saying: “The Senate is not a ceremonial chamber; it is a critical institution that demands legislative competence, strategic influence, and measurable impact. Therefore, representation in Delta North cannot and should not be reduced to a mere turn-by-turn arrangement or emotional claims of entitlement. Rather, it must be anchored on a demonstrable scorecard.
“In evaluating representation, constituents must ask fundamental questions: What bills have been sponsored? What motions have been moved that directly impact Delta North? How effectively has the district been positioned within federal development priorities? These are the metrics that define purposeful leadership.”

He noted that “Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko's tenure offers a compelling case study in performance-driven representation. Within a relatively short period, his legislative footprint has been marked by proactive engagement, policy advocacy, and constituency-focused interventions. From sponsoring impactful bills to attracting developmental projects and amplifying the voice of Delta North on the national stage, his record speaks beyond rhetoric. Senator Ned Nwoko's grand advocacy for the creation of ANIOMA state has gained tremendous traction and has endeared him to the ANIOMA people as their Champion.
“By consistently advocating that he wants an ANIOMA state in the South- South Dr Okowa has been penciled down as someone who does not support the creation of ANIOMA state at all. Such a man should not be trusted with a Senate job – he is in fact the agent provocateur, the number one antagonist of the ANIOMA state creation .

Beyond legislation, effective representation also encompasses accessibility, responsiveness, and strategic networking within the corridors of power. The ability to translate influence into tangible benefits for constituents remains the true test of leadership. This is where performance outweighs mere political claims.
“It is also important to emphasize that democracy thrives on informed choices. The electorate must resist attempts to reduce elections to simplistic narratives of entitlement. Doing so undermines merit and weakens the very foundation of representative governance.”

As Delta North looks ahead, he said: “the choice before the people is clear: to embrace a culture of accountability rooted in performance or to revert to a system that prioritizes entitlement over excellence. The future of the district depends on this decision.
“”Ultimately, elections are not about whose turn it is—they are about who has delivered, who can deliver, and who possesses the capacity to advance the collective interests of the people. Delta North deserves nothing less.
“The Delta North Senatorial election should serve as a referendum on performance, not entitlement. A scorecard-driven evaluation ensures that leadership is earned, not assumed.”
