OGWASHI-UKU/Nigeria: The Delta State Governor, and Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the 2023 Presidential Elections, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, have called on electorates in the state not to vote for another party, except the PDP, in order to avoid the mistake made by Nigerians in 2015.

He told the gathering that with the available record, the government of the PDP in Delta is providing for all Deltans, and the evidence are abound in Aniocha North and other areas of the state.

“We have provided for every section of the state, from Ukwuani, Ika, Oshimili, Aniocha, Delta Central, and South, our presence is felt in every part of the state, and every community is benefitting.”

He promised the people that more will come if they cast their votes for the PDP in the state, to avoid suffering from voting for another party, as it will not be good for them, as opportunities such as that of FELD may be destroyed.

“I have to beg you, do not make the mistake of voting for another party in Delta, this will not be good, as it will only bring to you pain and suffering.”

“We all must be steadfast, and work towards voting for all Peoples Democratic Party Candidates in Delta, Starting with the President and Vice President, the Governor, and his Deputy, and all National and State Assembly members. This is the way we should go in 2023.” He said.
