The Make Isoko Great Again (MIGA) Initiative, a political pressure group established to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Isoko land, has inaugurated its executive members with a pledge to intensify political awareness and mobilise massive support for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The inauguration ceremony, convened by the founder, Hon. Dr. Jude Omena Ogbimi, took place at the residence of the former lawmaker in Otor-Igho, Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State, and attracted a large gathering of politicians, community leaders, youths, women and elders.
The newly inaugurated executives of MIGA are Hon. Dr. Jude Omena Ogbimi former Lawmaker at the Dekta State House if Assemble as the Convener; Hon. Bernard Bisi, former LGA party Chairman as Chairman; Chief Godwin Akamakusi as Coordinator; Hon. Sunday Agsawe, former councilor as Secretary; Mr. Mathew Owhefere, Publicity Secretary; A. M. Omejefe, Policy Adviser; Emma Ogheneros Ewoma, Head of Media; Bishop Alo, Spokesperson; and Hon. Emma Agbaza as Elder Council.
Speaking at the event, Ogbimi, who is the current Chairman of the Board of Delta Trust Mortgage Bank Limited, said MIGA was established to reach every nook and cranny of Isoko nation, engage the grassroots and sensitise the people on the need to sustain their support for the APC-led Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Delta State Government under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
He stressed the need for the people to vote massively for President Tinubu, Governor Oborevwori and all APC candidates contesting for the Senate, House of Representatives and Delta State House of Assembly seats, describing the political objective as a collective 5/5 victory for the party.
According to him, the reforms introduced by President Tinubu have brought significant development and economic stability to the country, expressing optimism that the current economic challenges confronting Nigerians are temporary and that the nation is gradually moving towards economic recovery.
Ogbimi also commended Governor Oborevwori for what he described as impressive performance across various sectors of the state, noting that ongoing infrastructural and developmental projects across Delta State were evidence of the administration’s commitment to improving the lives of the people. He attributed the increased development at the state and local government levels partly to improved revenue allocation under the Tinubu administration.
He appealed to the Isoko people to support the APC with their votes, saying such support would enable the governments at the federal, state and local government levels to consolidate on existing achievements and deliver more democratic dividends to Isoko land after the elections.
The former lawmaker further demonstrated his commitment to grassroots empowerment by providing financial assistance to men and women to support and expand their businesses. He disclosed that another round of economic empowerment would take place in December, assuring those who did not benefit from the first batch that they would be accommodated in subsequent phases.
He urged the newly inaugurated executives and members of the initiative to remain committed to the group’s objectives, stressing that sustained grassroots engagement, unity and collective participation would be critical to achieving its vision of making Isoko great again.
