Delta South Senatorial aspirant, Sir Itiako Malik Ikpokpo, KSM, has continued his grassroots consultation with a strategic engagement with the Isoko National Youth Assembly (INYA), where he presented his C.L.U.E Agenda and outlined his vision for inclusive representation.
Ikpokpo emphasized the urgent need to bridge the disconnect between leadership and the people.
“There is a gap in communication, a gap in interaction, a gap in bonding. This should not be. From my very first day in office, I will create a value chain of conversations—not just during elections, but throughout my time in service.”
He promised to institutionalized youth engagement.
“I will establish four youth liaison offices across the four ethnic nationalities of Delta South. These offices will actively interface with youth bodies on issues of engagement, employment, and empowerment. As an entrepreneur, I am committed to supporting sustainable youth-driven enterprises.”Ikpokpo declared:
“I am ready, and I have the character. I will not be too busy for the people who elected me.”
“I will Communicate! I will Legislate! I will Unite! I will Empower! By the grace of God, I will deliver on every promise made. I am Atanaru for a reason, I stand on integrity. I did not come to be endorsed, I came to engage with you.”
In his response, President of INYA, Comrade Eniwake Orogun, reiterated the Assembly’s longstanding position:
“As a matter of principle, INYA does not endorse aspirants when more than one Isoko son is in the race. Our role is to listen, engage, and encourage Isoko youths to support the candidate whose policies best align with their aspirations.”
The engagement underscores Ikpokpo’s ongoing effort to deepen grassroots connection and position his candidacy around youth inclusion, accessibility, and practical governance.
