Okowa to Nigerians: Reject APC in 2023 for destroying Nigeria

The vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has urged Nigerians not to allow the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government that had “impoverished them” to remain in power.

Okowa said the prevailing level of bad socio-economic life in the country has never been recorded in its history, and blamed it on the ruling APC.

The governor stated this at the PDP’s presidential campaign at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos on Monday.

The vice-presidential candidate, however, said the recovery of the economy was possible by electing the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in 2023, saying the former Vice President was determined to rescue the country.

Governor Okowa, however, urged Nigerians to mobilise fully and support the PDP’s mission of recovering the country and return it to brighter times.

The governor said Atiku was a Pan-Nigerian and a candidate accepted across the country, adding that he “is a unifier, who believes immensely in Nigeria”.

“Our nation, Nigeria, can work better than its is now and the only man that can do this is Atiku Abubakar.

“He will restore the lost glory of Nigeria. Nigerians are conscious and wiser now, with their experience of poor governance of the APC,” he stated.

Okowa urged voters in Lagos State to cast their votes for all PDP candidates, saying that was the only way to remove the state from being someone’s dynasty.
