APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka
The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Barr. Felix Morka, CON, has highlighted the economic and infrastructural development efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, while pledging to facilitate access to government empowerment programmes for artisans in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State.
Morka made the commitment on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, during an enlarged engagement with members of the Ika South Artisans Association in Agbor, Delta State, where he underscored the importance of artisans to economic growth, community development and the everyday functioning of society.
Describing artisans as indispensable contributors to national development, the APC spokesman noted that virtually every aspect of modern life, from housing and transportation to infrastructure and essential services, depended on the skills, creativity and services of artisans.
On the national economy, Morka defended the economic reforms of President Tinubu’s administration, explaining that the country had inherited significant fiscal and economic challenges, including the burden of fuel subsidy payments and pressure on foreign exchange reserves.
He stated that the reforms had strengthened government revenues and expanded the fiscal capacity of federal, state and local governments to undertake development projects.
Citing increased federal allocations to Delta State, Morka highlighted the improved revenue position of the state and its potential to accelerate infrastructure delivery and improve the lives of citizens.
He also pointed to major federal infrastructure projects, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, alongside ongoing road construction and bridge projects, as evidence of President Tinubu administration’s commitment to national infrastructure renewal.
At the state level, he commended Governor Oborevwori for prioritising infrastructure development and executing projects aimed at improving connectivity and stimulating economic activities across Delta State.
Turning to the concerns of the artisans, Morka pledged to identify relevant federal and state government empowerment initiatives and facilitate direct engagement between the association’s leadership and the heads of agencies responsible for implementing such programmes.
The engagement also featured discussions on the constitutional responsibilities of elected public officials and the respective roles of the President, governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives and members of State Houses of Assembly.
Morka urged the participants to make informed electoral choices ahead of the 2027 general elections, calling on them to support President Tinubu’s re-election bid, Governor Oborevwori and other APC candidates.
He particularly appealed to women at the gathering to support greater female representation in elective offices, urging them to rally behind the APC candidate for Ika South Constituency, Hon. Cordelia Anyagwu, in her bid for election into the Delta State House of Assembly.
Other prominent APC leaders and stakeholders at the engagement included the Executive Chairman of Ika South Local Government Council, Hon. Engr. Jerry Ehiwarior; Dr. Donald Peterson; Hon. Emmanuel Osazuwa; Hon. Frank Izekor; and Hon. Cosmas Igbenije, alongside Hon. Cordelia Anyagwu.
In their response, participants expressed support for the APC and its candidates ahead of the 2027 elections, declaring their readiness to support the party across the five electoral positions: President, Governor, Senator, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly.
Morka thanked the leadership and members of the Ika South Artisans Association for their warm reception and active participation,assuring them of his commitment to ensuring that their concerns and aspirations receive appropriate attention.
