Vice-Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has rubbished the chances of the Labour Party and other political parties to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Southwest region of the country in the 2023 elections.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Okowa was speaking on Tuesday at a PDP Southeast zonal stakeholders meeting in Enugu State, where he said other political parties, including the Labour Party, do not have the wherewithal to defeat the APC in that region.
Stressing that PDP is the only party that can beat the APC in the Southwest zone, the Delta State Governor averred that the presence of other political parties would be felt in a few places during the 2023 elections and that they will diminish afterwards.
“A lot is happening in the Northwest and Northeast; we are very strong. In the North-Central and the South-South, we have become strong; and PDP is in-charge in the Southeast. We saw what happened in Osun. We are in charge of Oyo and Ondo states. A lot is happening in Ogun and Ekiti states and even in the very Lagos State, PDP is going to compete favourably,” Okowa said.
He further stated that the PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has the solution to Nigeria’s many problems because of his vast knowledge, experience and capacity.
