The only constant thing in life is
change. Last Monday, 08 December, 2014, we began the process of electing the
next governor of our dear State. This was by no means a casual affair. The result
of the gubernatorial primary was an interesting outcome. This experience is rich in content and will linger in the
memory. Our party, the Peoples' Democratic Party – PDP delegates have
made a choice and that choice is Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa. It is particularly
pleasing that a choice was made from the pool of men and women of passion and
integrity.
By the grace of God our flag bearer
is Dr. Okowa, because the delegates have said so. The choice of Dr.
Ifeanyi Okowa is not singlehanded, but that of the PDP delegates in the Delta
State.
There's a fine line between stubbornness and the
positive side of that, which is dogged determination. The
patience, inner conviction and the doggedness of Dr. Okowa is noteworthy. He
went about it, with dogged determination.
For the sake of equity the party decided that its
governorship ticket should go to Delta North senatorial district after that the
Central and South Senatorial zones have produced Chief James Ibori and Dr.
Emmanuel Uduaghan as Governors for the past sixteen years by 2015 respectively.
We commend and thank our party
chieftains, elders and loyal members for how peacefully they conducted the primaries.
Their conduct was exemplary and it set the tone for democracy, which guarantees
the rights of all the people and their participation in their own governance.
It is heartwarming the Dr. Okowa has
waved the olive branch at other aspirants for the position, assuring that he
will carry them along in his plans and activities.
The change that all have been
looking for is here. We should fight with everything we have to deliver Dr.
Ifeanyi Okowa and the State to PDP.
