The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu has congratulated the Delta State Governor on his emergence as the vice presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
He said; “I heartily congratulate you, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, the humble, hardworking and down to earth Governor of Delta State on your emergence as the Vice-Presidential Candidate of our great party the PDP in the 2023 General elections. Your confirmation as VP is no doubt informed by the confidence and trust reposed on you by our Presidential Standard Bearer, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, other PDP leaders, teeming members and supporters of our great party across the nation.”
He stated that Okowa had once again brought honour and pride to State, Delta, where he has demonstrated uncommon commitment as evinced in his unprecedented achievements in all sectors.
“We assure you and His Excellency Atiku Abubakar of our unalloyed and unwavering support for the task ahead,” he said.
According to him, Atiku is a statesman par excellence, a brilliant administrator, remarkably committed and competent leader, a unifier and detribalized Nigerian, who has exceptionally deep understanding of the challenges of Nigeria and the solutions.
“I believe that with His Excellency Atiku Abubakar leading the charge, and you by his side, the PDP is sure of victory in the 2023 Presidential election,” he stressed.
Elumelu urged the Governor to use his emergence to immediately initiate processes that would lead to peaceful reconciliations and calming of all frayed nerves including some leaders who may feel sidelined or scorned in the process of nominating the Vice-Presidential candidate.
