Otuaro’s Courtesy Visit to Okowa Signals Enduring Leadership Values
Former Deputy Governor of Delta State, Deacon Barrister Kingsley B. Otuaro, has once again demonstrated the depth of his commitment to enduring leadership values with a Christmas and New Year courtesy visit to the immediate past Governor of the state, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.
The visit, which has become a familiar feature of the festive season, went beyond formality and protocol. It stood as a deliberate expression of gratitude, respect, and loyalty to leadership, reflecting Otuaro’s belief that honouring those who played defining roles in one’s public service journey should not be confined to periods of political relevance. Having served as deputy governor from 2015 to 2023, Otuaro used the occasion to reaffirm the bond forged through years of shared responsibility and trust.
The interaction between both leaders was marked by ease and sincerity, with conversations flowing around memories of governance, lessons learned in public service, and reflections on life after office. The atmosphere reflected brotherhood rather than politics, underscoring a relationship anchored in mutual understanding and shared values rather than ambition or power.
A defining moment of the visit was a time of prayer, during which both leaders committed Delta State and its people to God. They sought divine wisdom and guidance for the state’s future, prayed for peace and stability, and expressed gratitude for the privilege of having served. The prayer session highlighted the central role of faith in their personal lives and leadership outlook.

Political observers and close watchers of Delta State affairs have described the visit as a strong example of leadership grounded in character and values. According to them, Otuaro’s consistent practice of maintaining respect for his former principal sends a clear message that leadership is not solely about occupying positions but about sustaining integrity, gratitude, and humility long after public office has been relinquished.
