DELTA 2015: SENATOR IFEANYI OKOWA – THE BEAUTY OF POPULAR ACCEPTANCE


wouldn't bother the reading public with who Senator Okowa is, but I’m happy and it is blissful to celebrate the acceptance of this superior brand by all Deltans without any equivocation.

On Monday, 08 December, 2014, Senator Okowa was voted massively by the delegates to win the People’s Democratic Party gubernatorial primaries, which took place at the Event Centre in Asaba. The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC on the 2nd of January, 2015 displayed the list of qualified candidates to contest the 2015 governorship elections across the country. Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and Barrister Kingsley Otuaro made the list as the Delta State’s People’s Democratic Party governorship candidate and running mate respectively.

On Tuesday, 13 January, 2015, the people of Delta State showcased to the world by the magnitude of the crowd, which attended his declaration that his emergence was by popular choice. The ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP officially flagged of her campaign for the 2015 General Elections. At the event, which was attended by a mammoth crowd of party supporters from across the State, flags were also presented to standard bearers of the Party for the various elective posts and the Governorship candidate of the Party, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa by the State Party Chairman, Chief Edwin Uzor.

Senator Okowa unveiled his manifesto of prosperity for all Deltans, which is based on the SMART Agenda. It is a roadmap towards massive industrialization, agricultural transformation and youth employment. The PDP Governorship candidate, pledged to create the enabling environment to get youths to be productive, in that way transform them into employers of labour, thus spreading the value of human empowerment and capacity building.

He declared his readiness and commitment to delivering on the high expectations of the people and pleaded with Delta people to vote PDP again as there is no other option for sustainable development.

So far, all the twenty five local government areas in the State have been visited by the Senator Okowa Governorship Campaign Organization, as one local government after the other spend time celebrating Dr. Okowa, assuring him and his Deputy designate that they will vote for them massively. All the rallies witnessed thousands of teeming supporters in their colours and songs, singing and dancing to show their total support for PDP in all level of the elections.


Senator Ifeanyi Okowa has become a household name all over the State. The entire State is backing him to emerge governor come April 11, 2015. Unequivocally, Delta State is a PDP territory and will not change come 2015.
