Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), say the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has the qualities to be the party’s vice president.
In a statement signed by the Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, the PDP governors lauded the choice of Okowa as running mate to Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate.
The statement reads, “The PDP-GF notes in particular that the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, GCON, promised to select a serving PDP Governor as his running mate, ostensibly not just because of the contributions of the Governors to the effective running of the Party and its stability, but because of their experience and executive capacity. He kept his word.
“Governor Okowa has distinguished himself as Governor of Delta State. He also has cognate legislative experience as a former Senator. He has what it takes to be an effective Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The great task of recovering, rescuing and rebuilding Nigeria begins with the Atiku / Okowa ticket. The APC has completely messed up Nigeria. It has failed in all aspects of governance; insecurity, bad economy, dysfunctional education, health and social services are the hallmarks of the APC administration.”
