“I Celebrate You Greatly” – Joel-Onowakpo On International Day Of The Girl Child

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Delta South Senatorial District in the upcoming 2023 General Elections, Hon. Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, has congratulated all girl children locally and internationally as the world celebrates International Day Of The Girl Child.

Onowakpo spoke in a congratulatory message he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Delta State, empathizing with the girl child on this unique day designated to increase awareness of problems affecting them.

There is no denying the role that girls continue to play in society’s development and growth, the APC candidate for the Delta South Senatorial District said while highlighting the significance of the holiday. 

He added that girls today will eventually grow up to be wonderful mothers in the future. 

According to Hon. Joel-Onowakpo, “Today marks International Day of the Girl Child.” It is a day set aside by the United Nations to celebrate the girl child, raising awareness and highlighting the importance of the girl child in the world.

“Every girl child is worthy to be celebrated locally and internationally.” “Our girl’s child today is our mother’s tomorrow.” God has destined the girl child, our mothers of today, to perform quality roles in humanity and the behavioural development of our children.”

“As a politician, women have continued to play significant roles in voting, child-bearing, and home development.”

“We must promote girl education, health, and nutrition.” We must not allow the girl’s child to experience gender inequality, female infanticide, discrimination, sexual abuse, violence, etc. 

“To train a girl child is to train a nation.” We must empower, protect, and amplify the voices of the girl’s child today. 

“To every girl child in Delta South Senatorial District, I celebrate you greatly.”

Joel-Onowakpo also used the occasion to express gratitude to his many supporters for standing by him and to appeal to them to keep gaining new supporters for his political cause in order to expand the support base for both himself and his party.

He expressed confidence in his party’s ability to win the governorship of Delta State and other elective positions in 2023.
