Ahead of the governorship elections in February 28, the PDP governorship campaign continued its ‘Prosperity’ journey, landing in the oil cities of Effrun and Warri on Thursday.

The delegation was led by the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, who continued his tour of the State, along with his running mate, Barrister Kingsley Otuaro. Other prominent members of the party also in attendance included the State Governor among others.

The rally, which held at the Warri Township Stadium, saw the largest crowd yet gathered in support of any candidate the history of State. It was a sea of heads as the streets were lined with supporters who came to catch a glimpse of the governorship hopeful, Okowa.

One of the enthusiastic supporters on the ground said, “I want to tell you that God is with us, for He has given us Okowa who will bring prosperity to Delta State…. If you come out and vote for us, by God’s grace, we will achieve all we have set to do.”

Okowa, nearly overwhelmed by the mammoth gathering, slowly made his way to the stage and addressed the supporters, reaffirming his commitment to bringing prosperity to all Deltans.


He also spoke on the vital importance of collecting permanent voter cards and ensuring they defended their votes. “Ensure you stay behind and defend your votes,” he said to an uplifted audience who chanted in return, “Okowa! Okowa!!”
