The All Progressives Congress (APC), Delta State chapter, has congratulated Chief Faith Majemite on her birthday, describing her as a distinguished political icon, respected traditional titleholder, and pioneering woman leader whose contributions continue to shape the state’s political and cultural landscape.
In a goodwill message signed by State Chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie and the Publicity Secretary Valentine Onojeghuo, the party praised Majemite as a trailblazer who has demonstrated exceptional leadership across political and community spheres. He noted that her conferment as the Oniemo of Agbon Kingdom reflects her deep-rooted commitment to service and community values.
“Chief Faith Majemite’s life is a shining testament to courage, excellence, and barrier-breaking leadership,” Sobotie said. “At a time when politics was overwhelmingly male-dominated, she rose with confidence and competence to become one of the first women to break the political ceiling as chairman of Ethiope East Local Government. Her achievement was not merely symbolic; it was backed by impactful governance and a passion for grassroots development that earned her widespread respect.”
The party noted that her tenure as council chairman set a standard for inclusive governance and effective administration. According to the APC, Majemite’s political pedigree rivals that of many of her male contemporaries, highlighting her strategic insight, resilience, and commitment to democratic ideals.
“She embodies the spirit of perseverance and visionary leadership,” Sobotie added. “Her successes have opened doors for many women in politics and strengthened the foundation for a more inclusive political environment in Delta State.”
The party also commended her role in mentoring emerging leaders and advocating greater participation of women in governance, describing her career as a model of dedication to public service and grassroots development.
As she marks another year, the Delta APC prayed for her continued good health, wisdom, and strength to keep contributing to the social and political advancement of her community and the state.
The statement reaffirmed the party’s pride in celebrating a leader whose life reflects service, excellence, and the breaking of historic barriers in public life.
