Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of Delta State is an asset to PDP as he would bring his wealth of experience to the Atiku-Okowa presidential ticket.
Mr Charles Aniagwu made this submission today while speaking on Arise TV monitored in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
Aniagwu who is also the State Information Commissioner said the performance of Okowa in the state shall add value to the ticket, adding that his job creation through skill acquisition has been profound.
He noted Okowa had improved the standard of living of the people by reducing poverty in state which attracted National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) ranking as the second least poor state in the country in 2018.
On infrastructural development, he said Okowa has constructed well over 1,833km of roads with over 900km of drains across the three senatorial districts.
“But what is most important to us is what we have done in the creeks of Delta, area that where hitherto referred to as very difficult terrains to develop, we have made a whole lot of impact in thar region which is why we are enjoying a whole lot of peace in the Niger Delta.
“For a very long time now we have been able to ensure that our brothers and sisters in the creeks are carried along and this is one the things that our principal the Presidential candidate saw and said I need a partner who is progressive in nature.
“A partner that can address the issues of the youths and a partner that can help address the issues of unity of our country because Delta is a microcosm of Nigeria where you have diverse ethnic groups.
“When we live in unity as a country, you will discover that we will return to winning ways, all these other symptomatic malaise in our country will be solved, because issue of corruption, bad economy, insecurity, they happen because our diversity was badly mismanaged by the APC,” Aniagwu stated.
