Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and governor of Delta State, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, has appealed to the good people of Ethiope West Local Government Area, to step up their voting performance by producing the highest votes in the forthcoming general elections in the state.
Okowa made the appeal on Thursday at Oghara Township Stadium during the LGA Campaign rally, saying that Ethiope West being the political base of the national leader and Odidigborigbo of the Universe, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, deserves number one position through bloc vote for PDP in this dispensation.
He said all the party’s candidates in Ethiope West are his family members one way or the other, because of his strong political affiliations and cordial relationships with Chief James Ibori, Senator Ighoyota Amori and other leaders, adding that the eldest daughter of the former governor who is the House of Representatives candidate for Ethiope Federal Constituency, Hon Mrs Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu remained his daughter, for life.
Governor Okowa, lamented the bad governance experienced since 2015 under President Mohmmadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and assured that his boss and principal, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and himself shall do the needful to revive and grow the nation’s economy, as well as unite Nigerians, end insecurity, restructure, reset and rebuild Nigeria, while the incoming governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori will advance Delta through his M.O.R.E Agenda; meaningful development, opportunity for all Deltans, realistic reforms and enhanced peace and security.
Responding, some major stakeholders of PDP in Ethiope West LGA assured the incoming Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, and the excessive local content governor in-waiting, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, of bloc vote for the party in the forthcoming general elections.
The leaders which includes; Delta Central Senatorial Candidate, Chief Ighoyota Amori, former Commissioner in the state, Chief Engr Emmanuel Ighomena and PDP Campaign Coordinator for Delta Central Senatorial District, Chief Barr John Nani.on Thursday in Oghara at the LGA campaign rally, said the numerous achievements of the state government under the visionary leadership of governor Okowa, informed their decision to once again give bloc vote to the party.
They referred to the numerous standard projects executed by Okowa administration in Ethiope West, as well as political appointments for sons and daughters of Urhobo nation in Delta Central Senatorial District and that also include Ethiope West LGA.
Chief Amori who until recently was the Chairman, Asaba Capital Territory Development Agency, noted that APC national government practically ruined the nation’s economy built by PDP, but assured that the incoming national government of PDP will restore the image and dignity of Nigeria which APC dragged to pitiable disrepute in just seven years and counting.
The incoming Senator of Delta Central Senatorial District described the presidential candidate of PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Senator Okowa, as round pega in round holes, eminently qualified, competent and result oriented, adding that the duo of the versatile incoming President and Vice Presidential of PDP extraction will surely reset and rebuild Nigeria, and also fulfil all electioneering promises as encapsulated in Atiku’s manifesto titled “My Covenant With Nigerians.”
Chief Nani on his part assured Okowa, Oborevwori and the party that Ethiope West will deliver on the agreed 5/5 voting pattern, saying that governor Okowa’s visionary leadership and enviable performance in office must be well appreciated by ensuring that PDP is victorious with a wide margin in the forthcoming general elections in the state and in Ethiope West LGA.
