Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State would continue to remain united and stronger, stressing God is our strength and the unity of our people is unshakable.

Okowa made this assertion in Asaba when his Gombe State counterpart, Dr Ibrahim Dankwambo paid a consultative visit on members of the PDP to unveiled his presidential ambition on the platform of the party.

The governor spoke on Wednesday, first time after the defection of immediate past governor of the state, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan from PDP to the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC on Tuesday night.

According to a Government House Press Unit release sent to BigPen Online, Governor Okowa said, “I believe that the spirit we need in our party is for all aspirants to have strong interest in making our party stronger, there must be spirit of give and take.

“In Delta State, we are very strong as a people and as a party, we are united and we will continue to stay united, God is our strength and the unity of our people is unshakable, we are right on course and we will continue to do the things that will unite us,” he stated, emphasising, “we will continue to stay strong, there is no shaking at all.”

Governor Okowa who lauded the qualities of aspirants for different positions on the platform of the PDP, asserted, “we have listened to Dr Dankwambo, he has spoken as a gentleman, a man of peace who has ensured massive development in Gombe State.”

“He is a man of character; Deltans believe in democracy, we will not force the hands of the people on where to go but, I am confident that they will take the right decision,” the governor added.

Earlier, Governor Dankwambo had congratulated Governor Okowa’s administration for the massive development projects being executed in the state, disclosing that he was in Asaba to tell the people about his aspiration to be the President of the country on the platform of the PDP.

“I am a retired Accountant-General, and in the next few months, I will leave office as Governor after two terms, I am only 52 years; so, I have a lot to offer the country; I know Nigeria, I know the finances of Nigeria; I know how they formulate policies and I know how these policies are implemented and most importantly, I am still very strong and I am telling the people my desire and aspiration to be the President of Nigeria under the PDP,” he said.

Adding, “we should draw a criteria and assess all of us who are aspiring for the office, if you find me worthy, I am ready to serve, but, if you find somebody who is better than me, I will join the person to serve.”
