Political leaders in Delta Central, the entire Urhobo and Isoko Nation, on Friday passed a vote of confidence on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and adopt him as the sole candidate of PDP in the forthcoming 2019governorship election.
Minority Leader of House of Representative, Hon Leo Ogor noted to be the voice of Isoko Nation moved the motion and was seconded by a thunderous ovation of a massive crowd in the region of near two million party faithful, supporters and political associates from far and near.
The rally also received Chief Paulinus Akpeki (the Ugo of Okpe Kingdom), Chief Hon Evans Ivwurie representing Ethiope East Constituency, Comrade Felix Abeke, other decampees and thousands of their supporters.
Sapele Stadium was filled to capacity with an overflowing crowd of thousands of supporters from Delta Central and across the state.
The downpour could not stop the enthusiastic Deltans who came in large numbers to cheer up their SMART GOVERNOR, His Excellency Gov Okowa.
State Party Chairman, Barrister Kingsley Esiso and Gov Okowa received the defectors and returnees to PDP and assured them that he will continue to use the resources of Delta State to develop the three senatorial districts, adding that the YAGEP and STEP programmes have provided direct and indirect jobs to over 18,000 Deltans within two years in office.
Esiso described Gov Okowa as a super breed leader which is why the good people of Delta Central has deemed it fit to adopt him as their sole candidate in 2019.
He said the governor has done well for Urhobo Nation and Delta Central in terms of political appointments and socio-economic and infrastructural development.
