Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Vice Presidential Candidate, said on Friday that God, not the actions of the G-5 governors, would determine Nigeria’s next President.
Okowa made the statement in Aboh while leading the Delta PDP campaign train to the state’s Ndokwa East and Ndokwa West Local Government Areas. He expressed confidence that the five governors would put their differences aside and work for the PDP’s victory in the 2023 general election.

“God has said it that we, the PDP, will win this election. Many things may be happening now and people may be asking what about the G-5 governors.
“These governors are our brothers; everybody is important. But what God has said will happen, nobody can change it. So even if some of them decide to support APC, some will still remain with us because there will be division among them.
“The real truth is that I have strong political eyes and I have observed that no matter what they do, PDP will win the forthcoming election, by the grace of God. It is only the power of God that can help us to win. So, no matter what the G-5 said that they would work with APC or any other party, we will win”, he said.
Okowa claimed that the PDP would bring about the desired change in the country and urged Nigerians to vote for the party in order to advance.
“We all know that the candidate of APC is not good enough to be our president. Also we know that Labour Party is not going anywhere and we need to sweet-talk the party supporters not to waste their votes.
“Those supporters wishing to vote for Labour Party are only indirectly helping APC and trying to reduce the vote of PDP. So, please go and plead with Labour Party supporters to return to PDP and join hands with us to change Nigeria for the better.
“We, the PDP, are ready to change the so-called previous change. Therefore, everyone should go and get his or her PVC,” he said.
Okowa has charged the people with conducting a house-to-house and market-to-market campaign to persuade them to support the PDP’s rescue mission.
He claimed that Atiku and Okowa’s ticket would result in a united Nigeria and a thriving economy driven by the private sector. Okowa went on to say that the PDP would restructure the country and provide funds for states and local governments to embark on projects.
Chief Sheriff Oborevwori, the party’s governorship candidate, has stated that if the Okowa administration is unable to complete the ongoing construction of the Beneku Bridge and Phases 3 and 4 of the Ashaka Road, he will.
Chief Monday Onyeme, his running mate, was described as a dependable, competent, and articulate professional who would bring his many years of experience to bear on the administration.
Chief Kingsley Esiso, State Chairman of the PDP, who presented flags to candidates, said the party had solutions to all of the nation’s problems.
“I am very happy because APC days are numbered and PDP is coming on a rescue mission to reset Nigeria. All over Delta state, our people are happy with the Atiku-Okowa ticket because since the creation of Nigeria no Deltan has ever come close to Aso Rock.

“But by the special grace of God and with your support, our dear governor will become the next Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, he said.
