Gôvernor Ifeanyi Okowa and Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today said he was on the party’s presidential ticket because “it’s God’s will”.
He said the PDP rescue mission for Nigeria was a divine project, and assured that no geopolitical zone in the country would be cheated in a PDP-run Federal Government.
Okowa gave the assurance while addressing PDP stakeholders in Anambra at the Constituency Office of Senator Uche Ekwunife in Awka.
He said that the presidential election in February, 2023 would be won by the PDP “because of the things that I know and I see and whole lot of things going on”.
“Looking at what I am seeing this afternoon, I am worried because both APGA and Labour Party are in trouble.
“I must thank the men and the women here for standing strong for the PDP. The party in Anambra will come out alive and will remain strong .
“I can assure you that actions are being taken to ensure that we do the right thing in Anambra State. Nobody will write off Anambra when you have people like these in the party.
“I know that there is a Presidential candidate from Anambra but I know that Anambra and Ndigbo will play a major role in the next political dispensation as no zone will be left out and no zone will be cheated because we have equal opportunities for all.
“By God’s grace we will win that election by a landslide because if God had not endorsed it, He would not have allowed me to be on the ticket,” he said.
He commended the Anambra party stakeholders for standing strong for the party.
“It is for us to stay committed stay strong to that structure that God has given us to enable us take back power from the ruling party.
