Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Presidential Candidate for 2023, has described Ifeanyi Okowa as a valuable asset to all Nigerians.
In a message to Nigerians which he delivered on Sunday in Abuja, Abubakar stated that the position of the president, in particular, needed the holder of that office to have clarity of mind when making decisions.
According to Abubakar, the decision to choose a running mate, as well as how it was made in countries with more democratic acculturation experience, provided a glimpse into their readiness for the job that awaited them.
He said that in meeting up with the expectation, and more importantly to ensure that he make a pick of a running mate that Nigerians shall be proud of, it became necessary for him to be introspective about his choice.

‘The Governor of Delta State, Okowa and I share a lot of personality attributes in common. He is a fine gentleman, but tenacious.
‘His experience as a senator will come in handy in some of the legislative reforms that are urgently needed to reformat our governmental processes.
‘Okowa and I are incurable optimists in the future of Nigeria and the promises it holds as one united, peaceful and prosperous country.
‘Having him on the ticket brings a lot of asset to our campaign,’ Abubakar said.
He said in the months ahead to the general election, him and Okowa together with other leaders of PDP and Nigerians would work very hard to ensure convincing victory for PDP.
‘A victory for the PDP in the general election is a victory for Nigeria. When we win, Nigeria wins.
‘The stakes in the election are very high, and it gives me tremendous joy that I can count on your support to win the election and get to work in earnest.’
