… Assures Of Free, Fair Primaries
Ahead of the governorship election, Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has warned that who have purchased their Nomination and Expression of Interest forms should stop using his name during campaigns, saying it was fraudulent for any aspirant to use his name to get support come 2023.
Okowa dropped the warning on Tuesday April 5th 2022, during the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Stakeholders meeting in Asaba, the State capital.
“No aspirant is permitted to say that he or she has been endorsed or anointed by governor Okowa, Chief Ibori or Dr Uduaghan. It is fraudulent to drop our names. Don’t do it, please.
“As the state party leader and your governor, I want to reassure all aspirants that Primaries shall be free, fair and transparent. There is no cause for alarm, get prepared and do the needful to win.
“It is forbidden for any aspirant, leader or stakeholder to approach PDP in Abuja or Principal Officers of our party to hijack the process.
“Our party is united for victory in 2023. I urge aspirants to focus on reaching out to delegates in the state, canvass for votes ahead of party Primaries,” Okowa said.
Former governor of the state, Chief James Ibori said the capacity of the state governor to oversee credible primaries was not in doubt, adding that all will surely end well and PDP shall win elections in a landslide victory in the state, come 2023.
