Coordinator, Coalition of South – South and South – East Peoples Democratic Party,(PDP) Youths, Hon. Eziwomano Ighoegwo Ogboru, has extended goodwill message on behalf of the group to the Delta State Governor and PDP Vice Presidential candidate, Sen.Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, on the occasion of his 63rd birth anniversary.
Ogboru, said at 63 Governor Okowa had proven to be a true leader, reasons why he has attracted so much national recognition, which resulted in his choice as Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP.
He commended Okowa’s transformational achievements in the state, with emphasis on youth empowerment, adding that the governor was one every leader should emulate.
While congratulating the Governor as the Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP, the group urged the party to take urgent steps to resolve all issues arising from the selection process.
The group promised to mobilize its members to garner more support for the Atiku/Okowa presidential ticket and also to resist any attempt to replace the Governor with another candidate, insisting that he eminently merited his choice by the presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who reserved the right to choose whoever he felt comfortable with from the three names shortlisted for the position.
The Coalition restated its earlier support for Okowa in the vice presidential race and appealed to those aggrieved by his choice to sheathe their swords and embrace the reconciliatory efforts of the Party in the interest of peace and unity, so as to defeat opposition Parties.
