Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has said that in the past the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), used to endorse and write names of those who will win local government council election from Asaba, the state capital but all that has changed now.

The governor made this assertion while addressing an enlarged PDP stakeholders meeting to celebrate the victory of the Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee at the Supreme Court held on Friday at event center, Asaba.

Okowa who spoke against insinuation making the round that local government elections wouldn’t hold said, “we shall conduct the local government elections soon” and therefore urged those eying various positions to brace up to the task by doing their homework instead of relying on endorsement or winning through influence of political godfathers.

“Even in my local government, anyone contesting as my chairman must work hard because I will not sit here in Asaba and endorse or write someone’s name as in the past.

“You must show your popularity in the primaries and nobody is going to write or change names, so take note and do your home work very well.” Okowa said.
