The Governor of
Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has described Senator Ifeanyi Okowa as very
marketable and electable. He noted that when you have a good product you are
not constrained by the issue of acceptance as people would readily embrace the
product because of its finesse. He however urged party faithful to redouble
their efforts in ensuring the victory of all PDP candidates.
Governor Uduaghan
made the declaration Thursday night, during the PDP Fund Raising Dinner which was
held at the Grand Hotel, Asaba, the Delta State capital. The Governor expressed
confidence that the PDP would win in Delta State,.
Speaking also,
the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate, Senator Ifeanyi
Okowa, said that with the increasing support being given to the party by
Deltans he was confident of victory for all candidates of the party for various
positions.
Thanking the
leadership and members of the party for giving him and his running mate the
opportunity to fly the party's flag, he said the money realised would be
judiciously managed to bring about success for the party and all its candidates
in next month's elections, as according to him, " it is expedient for us
to win, starting with President Goodluck Jonathan."
"I am proud
of the progress we have made as a state. Even die hard cynics will accept the
fact that the state has made significant progress in education, health care,
agriculture, infrastructure and in many other areas. Indeed, I am proud of our
achievements as the ruling party in Delta State. We may not have been where we
wished to be, but truth is, we have made notable progress. And I am determined
to consolidate on the progress already made," he stated.
Earlier, Chairman
of the occasion, Mr. Gabriel Ogbeche, had described Senator Okowa as a good and
humane politician desired by Deltans to move the state to a higher level, adding
that everybody was desirous to key into his agenda of 'Prosperity for all
Deltans'.
Mr. Ogbeche, who
is the Managing Director of Rainoil, said he, like many other Deltans, were
very passionate about the Okowa project for a better Delta State, even as he
noted that, "Okowa is indeed a movement that has come to reshape the State.
