Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta, on Monday, declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is working hard to take over the Presidency in 2023.
Okowa stated this at a rally at Ughelli Township Stadium where a former member of PDP, Chief Jaro Egbo and his group were received back to the party from APC.
“Let me thank our brother Olorogun Jaro Egbo and his ‘High Voltage’ movement for deeming it fit to return home.
“PDP is well able to take over presidency, but we have to be very strong and courageous
“Nigerians have suffered enough and they are tired; so, we must give them hope that there will be light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.
Okowa charged party faithful to go and convince more people to join the PDP in its quest to rescue the Nigeria from maladministration.
“We have always won in Ughelli North, but they usually write results in one ward and we will not allow anybody to write results again.
“Every man with his vote must count and I am convinced beyond reasonable doubt that in 2023, we will win in all parts of Delta Central,” he stated.
Chairman of PDP in the state, Chief Kingsley Esiso, thanked the returnees for coming back home to join the party to rescue Nigeria from the grip of the APC.
“Nigerians are tired of what is happening today in the country as the APC government has turned the country into poverty capital and a state of terror.

“We must chase APC out of Nigeria, we intend to chase them out of Ask Rock and Delta State will lead the charge,” Esiso stated.
Leader of the decampees, Chief Jaro Egbo thanked Governor Okowa and the leadership of the party in the state for welcoming them back.
“I have come with the good message that PDP remains the hope for all Nigerians.
“In 2015, the APC made a lot of promises to Nigerians which they didn’t fulfil instead they plunged Nigerians into further economic and security crisis.
“Now that we are back home, the PDP will start the winning for 2023 here in Ughelli North,” he stated.
The rally was attended by governorship aspirants of the party including Deputy Governor, Kingsley Otuaro, Senator James Manager and Speaker Sheriff Oborevwori.
