Former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has lauded the emergence of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 presidential election.
Ihedioha made this known in a series of tweets on his Twitter page on Thursday.
He commended the party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for the decision and called on all party leaders and faithful to go to work to ensure the success of the ticket at the presidential polls.
βOn behalf of the leaders and members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Imo State, I congratulate my friend and brother, His Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa on his meritorious nomination as the Vice Presidential candidate of our great party for the 2023 general elections.
βThis is sequel to my conviction that Governor Okowa is a very distinguished, loyal, disciplined and committed party man who will add great value to and complement the presidential ticket given his well-acknowledged, rich legislative and executive pedigree spanning several years in our country.
βHe not only balances the ticket but will serve as a partner to the highly experienced, cerebral, prepared and great unifier His Excellency Alh. Atiku Abubarkar GCON, the PDP presidential candidate.
βI urge all party faithful to support the Atiku/Okowa ticket as we march towards actualizing the democratic expectations of Nigerians for a PDP return to government in 2023, to Rescue and Rebuild Nigeria.β he wrote.
