Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has boasted that Nigeria’s opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would win with a large margin in the 2019 general elections.

Okowa stated this while receiving an All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain, Chief Andrew Orugbo and other members of opposition political parties back to the PDP.

The governor who expressed confidence that the PDP would win with large margin in the 2019 general elections, said that the doors of the PDP was open to the few remaining members of the opposition political parties in the state.

He said that PDP was now positioned to win in the 25 local government areas of the state.

“What we hear from the opposition is that they have the security apparatus, but, in democracy, it is the people who have their voters cards that determine the winners in elections, and the PDP will win with great margin in the elections.

“Protect your voters card, don’t be intimidated, with our voters cards, we will get victory, keep working in unity, let us do everything together as members of the PDP family, we don’t discriminate and I welcome all of you who have returned to your home, the PDP,” the governor said.

He assured that the PDP would win Udu Local Government Area with large margin and win all the local government areas of Delta Central Senatorial District in the 2019 elections.
