Delta state governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has said that it is only the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that has the blueprint that can positively transform Nigeria.
He therefore urged Nigerians to vote for only PDP candidates in the February and March 2019 general elections.
Okowa made the call on Wednesday during the campaign rallies of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at Bomadi and Patani local government areas of the State respectuvely.
“Holding political office in trust for the people requires qualified, capable individuals, and the PDP parades such qualified candidates; political positions is not for all comers.”
“While we engage in issue based campaigns, we should know that my opponent in the governorship race is a serial contestant and a serial loser; he is a bad product that is difficult to market,” Okowa said,
Okowa appealed to the electorate to elect capable and experienced hands, noting that a governorship position was not a training ground, saying, “those who wants to contest against me should first of all, hold other political positions.”
The governor who was accompanied to the rallies by his wife, Dame Edith and his Deputy, Barr. Kingsley Otuaro, thanked Deltans for their support, saying, “we have a partnership that works, a genuine partnership between government and the governed, it has made the people to freely tell government what they need, how they feel and we, as a government, have responded.
“We have empowerment programmes, we have constructed roads and because, you call me the road master, we will construct more roads in the next four years. We have built schools, we are working with our people and the smiling faces I see here in the crowd shows that our people are happy and we are happy when we know that our people are happy.”
He listed some of the projects his administration has executed and is executing in the area, emphasising, “vote for all the candidates of the PDP, we are sure of victory, because we have handed over the campaign to God, no one can stop us.”
Those who spoke at the venues of the rallies include, Alaowei Broderick Bozimo, Rt. Hon. Basil Ganagana, Hon. Funkekeme Solomon, Prof. Sam Oyovbaire, and Barr. Kingsley Esiso.
