ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has assured the Igbos that they will be properly placed in the government if Atiku Abubakar wins as the President in 2023.
Okowa stated also that with Atiku as next President, Igbos are sure of becoming the next President in Nigeria.
The Governor, therefore, called for the support of Igbos worldwide for the actualization of the Atiku/Okowa Presidency in 2023.
He noted that Atiku has always shown that he will not be a regional President but one who will unify the country irrespective of tribe, ethnicity or religion.
Okowa, who was guest of honour at the Igbo Community Welfare Association (ICWA) celebration, award and fund raising in Kaduna, spoke through the Kaduna State PDP Governorship candidate, Rt.Hon. Isa Muhammed Ashiru.
He said: “Atiku being an inlaw to the Igbos has demonstrated his desire and likeness for the Igbo as he has always picked an Igbo person as his running mate whenever he gets a presidential ticket.
”I am also your son, hence a support for Atiku is also a support for potential Igbo presidency because the Igbo have always given their overwhelming support for the PDP and it is expected that 2023 will not be an exception.
“Atiku has always demonstrated that he will not be a regional President but one who will unify the country regardless of tribe, ethnicity or religion. 2023 is time of decision making that will either make or mar us as a nation if we vote in the wrong direction, but voting Alhaji Abubakar Atiku will certainly be the best decision for secured country.”
Ashiru further solicited for the votes and support of the Igbo resident in Kaduna State, saying they have always been part of a PDP government in the State.
He assured that he will carry Igbo along accordingly in 2023 when he emerge as Governor of Kaduna State.
