Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa
The Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa Senatorial Campaign Council has appointed two veteran journalists, Mr. Olisa Ifeajika and Dr. Norbert Chiazor, as leaders of its Media and Communications Directorate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ifeajika was appointed Director, Media and Communications and Chiazor, Assistant Director.
This is is contained in a list signed by the Director-General of Okowa campaign organization Hon. Pascal Adigwe, obtained by newsmen in Asaba.
Ifeajika and Chiazor will coordinate all media activities of the campaign council, including communication strategy, reputational management, advocacy and media relations.
Ifeajika, a former Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), served as Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa from 2019 to 2023, while Chiazor was Executive Assistant on Media in the same administration.
Ifeajika is a consummate journalist with over three decades of professional practice and media management. He is a member of Nigeria Guild of Editors.
Chiazor, a former chairman of the Nigeria Union journalists (NUJ), Delta state council, has extensive background in broadcast, print and online journalism, spanning three decades of engagement, with a PhD in mass communication.
The appointment of both media leaders is generally seen as a strategic move to deploy professional experience, credibility and deep institutional knowledge of the Okowa brand as momentum gathers for the 2027 Senatorial race
