DELTA 2023: Okowa Endorses Gbagi

Leading governorship aspirant under the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), in Delta State, has revealed that the incumbent Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has anointed him as the next governor come 2023.

Gbagi gave the revelation while addressing the 25 LGA Chairmen, executives and other party delegates.

According to Gbagi: “The governor has chosen me as the one to take over from him at the end of his tenure in May 29th 2023. Governor Okowa, knows what he is doing, he will not handover Delta to people who will crumble it from where he has been able to raise it up to.

“If Delta was in the lowest elb of the ladder, Okowa has lifted it up to 100 percent. So, he will not allow what he has laboured for to be destroyed. No good father leaves his house more tattered than he met it. Look at the multipurpose Secretariat, it has saved the state about N1 billion from rent.

“Don’t be deceived and make no mistakes, Okowa will handover to me come 2023. The governor is wise. Don’t worry yourselves over people setting up campaign offices and billboards, that is not the issue. This is not the time for campaign offices and erecting billboards, when you have sent me with your votes before we talk about campaign offices and billboards. You are the billboards now.

“After the primaries of the party, be rest assured, you will see our campaign offices everywhere. My concern now is you, the delegates. We need to talk to you for you to know where we are going.

“When they started DC-23, I initially said that I will not participate in the screening but he told me to go. He said who in this State will be able to screen you out? Nobody can screen you out. Please, I don’t want them to have any excuse.

Meanwhile, in all the 25 local governments Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi, visited, seeking the support of the LGA executives and other delegates, it was harvest of endorsement.
