Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta, a vice presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), claims that the PDP is the only party capable of unseating the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Southwest zone.
At a PDP Southeast zonal stakeholders meeting on Tuesday in Enugu, he made the announcement.
According to him, the current electoral trajectory demonstrated that only the PDP had the necessary strength and capacity to prevail in the six geopolitical zones during the general elections in 2023.
“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,’’ he said.
The presidential running mate said the presence of other political parties would be felt in a few places during the elections and diminish afterwards.
Okowa said the PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku abubakar has the solution to Nigeria’s many problems because of his vast knowledge, experience and capacity.
