Gov Okowa thanks PDP, Atiku for VP ticket
The vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Okowa, on Friday thanked the leadership and the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, for choosing him as VP candidate ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
He said that the ticket shows that the party and the presidential candidate had confidence in his capabilities.
Okowa made this revelation while addressing party’s supporters at the party’s campaign rally in Ika South and Ika North East Local Government Areas on Friday.
He said no one since the old Bendel State till now, has emerged vice president from Delta State.
”So, we are thankful and asking for your support because I know that you will back me and my party to achieve the task of recovering Nigeria.
“By the special grace of God, you have always supported me throughout my political career and I have seen Ika people come out in great numbers in the past, but I have never seen this kind of crowd in our campaigns here.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank the leadership of PDP and our Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for finding me worthy to be the Vice-Presidential candidate of our great party.
“I have challenged our people in Delta that as a state we must cross the one million votes mark and as people of Ika nation, I challenge us to deliver minimum of 180,000 votes for the party.
“I urge you all to justify my selection by ensuring that all our votes in Ika nation will go to PDP and God will bless you as you continue to work hard for us to deliver in all the elections,” he stated.
