There are parts of this country that the government only remembers during elections. There are places where roads have faded, schools have collapsed, hospitals are ghosts, and voices are silenced.
They are called “marginalized.”
They are called “forgotten.”
But Chief Dr. Philip Agbese calls them home.
He doesn’t see statistics; he sees people.
He doesn’t see lost causes; he sees lives worth fighting for.
From the busy roads of Owukpa to the quiet corners of Edumoga, from Ari to Utonkon, Okanga has made it clear: no community under his watch will be left behind again.
He has taken the cry of the neglected and turned it into a cause. He has taken the silence of the abandoned and turned it into action.
He raises the motion when a zone lacks infrastructure. When people are denied basic services, he speaks out fearlessly.
When it comes to constitutional reform, he demands more LGAs, more access, and more representation. To Okanga, development is not a favour; it is a right.
The fight for Apa State is not just a political idea.
It is about dignity.
It is about bringing power, presence, and progress to those who have been ignored for too long.
Okanga knows what it means to be left out.
And that is why he shows up, speaks up, and stands tall for the forgotten zones, for the underserved, for the communities that others erased from the map of national priority.
He fights because he understands.
He fights because he cares.
He fights because he knows that leadership is not about titles, it’s about truth.
Some chase the spotlight.
Okanga chases justice.
And in doing so, he has become the voice of those who had none.
To the forgotten zones of Benue South, your time is now.
Because Okanga is fighting for you in Abuja, in the Assembly, in every room that once ignored your name.
He’s not fighting for power.
He’s fighting so that you can have one.
