The Lions Clubs International has set an agenda to empower vulnerable people in the Niger Delta region, and it's a significant step towards improving their lives. This development comes after the organisation's 19th Multiple District Convention in Asaba, Delta State capital, where newly elected Second Vice District Governor Dora Adebayo pledged to give special attention to supporting members and vulnerable people in the Niger Delta communities. She didn't hesitate to express her gratitude to members of the organisation for the confidence they've reposed in her leadership.
Dora Adebayo, who emerged victorious at the election after polling 75 votes, defeated her opponent, Lion Olore Evelyn Imokhe, who secured 32 votes. Adebayo had 75 votes out of 107 valid votes cast, with eight rejected votes recorded. The total number of registered voters was 119, with 114 delegates accredited to vote, and five delegates were absent. She won't forget the support she received from the members, and she's determined to make a difference.

The newly elected official also emphasised the need for stronger collaboration among members, noting that unity remains essential for the growth and success of the organisation. Unity is key to the organisation's success, and Adebayo won't compromise on it. According to her, the organisation's focus would be on empowerment, unity, and humanitarian service. The convention, which attracted participants from across Nigeria, featured leadership sessions, humanitarian discussions, policy deliberations, and community-focused initiatives. It also had government officials, traditional rulers, corporate partners, and other stakeholders in attendance.
The Chairman of the Nomination and Election Committee and Past District Governor of Lions Clubs International, Lion Patricia Udeme, described the election as peaceful, transparent, and credible. Udeme noted that while all contestants were qualified leaders, delegates eventually elected the candidate they considered best suited for the position. The successful candidate will officially assume office in July, and she's expected to hit the ground running.
Adebayo's administration is expected to focus on programmes aimed at improving livelihoods and promoting self-reliance in the Niger Delta communities.
