Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and Governor of Delta State, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has urged voters in Ughelli North, the home base of the APC governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege to reject those he described as arrogant and proud politicians in the 2023 general election.
Okowa enjoined Nigerians to support the PDP to rescue and rebuild the country from the hardship created by the APC-led Federal Government.
Giving the advice on Wednesday at the party’s rally in Ughelli-North, the home base of Senator Omo-Agege who is aiming to succeed him as governor in 2023, he said only the PDP had the right experience to rebuild the nation’s economy and stop the pervasive insecurity across the country.
He said the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had the requisite experience and political will to turn things around as he did as vice president to President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Some members of the opposition in Delta, he said, were not pleased with the state’s empowerment of youths and women with relevant skills and implored the people to reject arrogant politicians who brought shame and disgrace to the state.
He urged them to vote for the Delta PDP governorship candidate, Sheriff Oborevwori who he described as level-headed and a man of the people.
Okwa said: “The youths and women of Delta are our great strength, and once I see them I know the matter is settled. I thank all of you who are here present and my greatest thanks go to the youths and women of Delta.
“I am happy with the crowd of people I see here today in Ughelli North. We have been seeing such crowds before but this one is exceptional. I thank my deputy governor for his support. As my deputy has said, we will follow our governorship candidate, Mr Sheriff Oborevwori, to church to do thanksgiving of victory in 2023.
“We do not want a governorship candidate who will bring disgrace to Delta and Deltans and we do not want people who are angry that we are spending money to empower our youths.
“We do not want a governor that will be too proud to relate with the people and you know that our governorship candidate, Oborevwori, is a humble man who has immense respect for the people.”
