Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has opened up on why he accepted to be the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential flag bearer, Abubakar Atiku.
He pointed out that his reason was built around the fact that the candidate had well-thought-out programmes.
Okowa said the programmes were not only geared towards rescuing Nigeria but also that their implementation would lead to the restructuring of the country.
This is even as the women wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo gave a condition that Igbo women will only mobilise and support a presidential candidate who would protect the interest of women of Igbo extraction.

The governor made this known in Asaba during a reception organised for him by the state chapter of the PDP, which witnessed the absence of notable PDP figures in the state, including former governors, James Ibori and Emmanuel Uduaghan, James Manager, among others
He said his joint ticket with Atiku would rebuild Nigeria, declaring that with the challenges the country has been through in the last seven years of All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government, the PDP would win next year’s election.
Okowa stated that the Atiku/Okowa has been endorsed by God, adding that the rebuilding process of Nigeria will start on May 29, 2023.
‘The change we are bringing will be positive, it will be constructive, and it will bring meaningful life to our people.
‘Our youths should not be carried away by the euphoria of the moment. The PDP ticket is the only ticket that can deliver this country from APC misrule.
‘Our presidential candidate, Atiku, has been talking about restructuring since 1986. And his well-documented programmes will lead to restructuring,’ he said.
Africa Daily News, New York reports that the next Presidential election is slated to hold on February 25th.
