ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has expressed optimism that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), would win the 2023 general elections.
The Vice-Presidential candidate of the PDP maintains that there would be no room for the All Progressives Congress (APC), to govern Nigeria again.
Okowa said this on Wednesday during the party’s governorship Local Government campaign flag off at Patani, Patani Local Government Area of the state.
He said the APC was ashamed of its performance in the last seven and half years and had resorted to lies and propaganda, adding that the party had nothing to offer Nigerians other than poverty, hunger and insecurity across the country.
The Governor said also that the PDP was out to repair the destructions and damages inflicted on Nigerians by the APC led Federal Government.
Okowa who also addressed a mammoth crowd when the campaign train moved to Ozoro, Isoko North Local Government Area, stressed the need for Nigerians to reject the APC and return the PDP to power in the 2023 polls to enable it rescue and rebuild the country.
He said: “As a party we have done well for our state and country but its unfortunate that the APC came in 2015 and destroyed all the achievements we recorded.
“Because they are ashamed of their performance in the last seven and half years, they have resorted to lies and propaganda. They have nothing more to offer than inflicting poverty, hunger, insecurity and a collapsed economy on Nigerians.
“I have been going round the country and I can assure you that PDP will win the 2023 Presidential election. Atiku and I will repair the damages caused by the APC, everything PDP did before they crashed and they still have the effrontery to campaign.”
He urged the people to vote for the Governorship candidate of the party in the State, Rt. Hon Sherrif Oborevwori to ensure continuity in the development of the state.
“I have worked very hard for this state and many more work still need to be done. So what remains to be done Sheriff Oborevwori will continue from where we will stop.”
Speaking also, the immediate past Governor of the state, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, said: “for the first time we have somebody from our dear state nominated as Vice-Presidential candidate” advising the people to vote for all candidates of the party at the polls.
“So we must work hard to ensure that the PDP wins the Presidential election because if PDP wins, Okowa will take some people with him to Abuja and many of our federal roads will be attended to.”
On his part, the governorship candidate of the party, Oborevwori said: “I have learnt a lot from Governor Okowa and I am very happy that through your votes and by the grace of God, he will become our next Vice President. Okowa has achieved a lot in the last seven and half years, but I will achieve more for Deltans if you elect me.”
