OGHARA/Nigeria: The former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori had called on Deltans to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the March 9, 2019 Governorship and State House of Assembly Elections.
Chief Ibori made the call today, March 6, 2019, in Sapele and Oghara, at the commissioning of road projects by the state government.
He stated that the party and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa had done well in the state, to deserve reelection.
While listing the achievements of Governor Okowa’s administration, Chief Ibori emphasised, “it is very important that we vote for Governor Okowa to enable him continue with his good governance till 2023.
Meanwhile, the State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa speaking at the ceremonies expressed joy that his administration was able to do so much within four years because Deltans of all walks of life are contributing to his success stories in diverse ways.
“It is very important that our people are involved in governance, they offer advise and when necessary, criticize constructively,” the governor said, adding, “as a government, we can largely attribute our success stories to Deltans for giving us peaceful environment to carry out construction works; during the townhall meetings we had in different local government Councils of our state, our people made specific requests on their needs, and most of these roads are as a result of those requests because, we have promised our people that we will execute projects that we have agreed to execute,” he said.
He continued, “we will continue to connect with our people and I am confident that in the next four years, we will do more for our people.”
At the commissioning of the dualised Amukpe/Sapele road, Governor Okowa disclosed that the massive construction of roads in the area was his administration’s bid to restore the lost glory of the commercial town.
While commending the Delta State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (DESOPADEC) for constructing the Okwele/Ugbenu road, the governor urged the people to vote for all the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in this Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections.
