Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State and Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic, PDP, is optimistic that PDP will resolve its challenges before the 2023 general elections.
According to him, the party would go into the elections as one united family to achieve a resounding victory at the polls.
A statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Benue state Governor, Nathaniel Ikyur, said Okowa made the assertion after a closed-door meeting with Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom at the state Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja.
The governor was quoted as saying that the reconciliation process initiated by leaders of the party to resolve all issues that emanated from the presidential primaries and his subsequent emergence as the vice-presidential candidate was on, stressing that at the end, “all issues would be resolved.”
He added that the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike was a strong party man who had worked very hard for the success of the PDP and would not want to work for another political party.
In his remarks, Governor Samuel Ortom corroborated the position of the vice-presidential candidate, saying leaders of the PDP were still discussing to correct whatever that might have gone wrong during the presidential and vice-presidential tussles.
Ortom noted that as a critical and major stakeholder of the PDP, Governor Wike needed to be pacified to ensure that the reconciliation process was easy and smooth in the interest of the party.
