Only PDP can defeat APC in South-West: Okowa
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the vice-presidential candidate on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, says only PDP can defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-West.
He made the declaration at a PDP South-East zonal stakeholders’ meeting in Enugu on Tuesday.
He said the present electoral trajectory showed that only the PDP had the requisite strength and capacity to win the 2023 general elections in the six geopolitical zones.
“A lot is happening in the North-West and Northe-East; we are very strong. In the North-Central and the South-South, we have become strong and PDP is in charge in the South-East. We saw what happened in Osun. We are in charge of Oyo and Ondo states,” Mr Okowa declared.
The Delta governor added, “A lot is happening in Ogun and Ekiti states and even in the very Lagos state, PDP is going to compete favourably.”
The PDP vice-presidential candidate said the presence of other political parties would be felt in few places during the elections and diminish afterwards.
Mr Okowa said PDP presidential candidate Atiku abubakar had the solution to Nigeria’s many problems because of his vast knowledge, experience and capacity.
