Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa's readiness to provide and protect Christians' welfare and ensure the growth of the church in Aso-Rock when elected in 2023.

According to Okorote who is also the Special Adviser on Religious Affairs to the Governor of Delta State, stated that "When Okowa assumed office in 2015, we led the Executive of Delta State CAN to meet him in Government House, Asaba on the need to ensure the continuous sponsorship of christians to the Holy Land of Israel.
