Qualified and practising women journalists were massively mobilised for the election from the sixteen Chapels that make up the NUJ Delta Council by the campaign structure christened Sonia NAWOJ Progressive Movement, SNPM, headed by Comrade Florence Nwabuonwu as the Director-General.

Comrade Sonia Unobunjo was the Caretaker Committee Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Delta State Council that midwife the election that brought in the present State Executive of the NUJ, led by Comrade Michael Ikeogwu.

She was former Vice Chairperson of Delta NAWOJ from 2014 – 2016 and 2016 – 2017; two-time chairman, NUJ DBS Warri Chapel 2017 – 2020 and 2020 – 2022.

Comrade Sonia Unobunjo, who joined DBS Warri in 2011, resigned in 2022 while in her second tenure as chairman, NUJ DBS Warri Chapel to contest for the Delta NAWOJ 2022 election.
