Peoples Democratic Party, vice presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, has lamented the emergence of Peter Obi. According to him, Obi's emergence will affect the chances of the PDP in the southeast region of the country. Meanwhile, he insisted that the issues surrounding his emergence will soon be resolved and an amicable solution will be reached.

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Delta State governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, says the emergence of Peter Obi on the platform of Labour party is bad for the PDP.

Okowa who stated this while speaking with newsmen in Kano on the sideline of the event to receive ex- two-term governor of the state, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau back to the party, said the southeast has been traditional a PDP stronghold, Vanguard Newspaper reports.

Speaking on the chances of the PDP, he said:

“in the South East, it will obviously be an issue for us because of the sentiments that comes in. But I know that the PDP has stronghold in the southeast. And I know that the contest in the South East is between the PDP and LP obviously. We would wish he was not in the race but since he is in the race, it is going to be real competition between the two parties (PDP and LP, not the APC) in the southeast."
Going further, he said that the controversy trailing his emergence as the party VP candidate will soon be a thing of the past as efforts are ongoing to resolve all issues.

He added:

“Secondly, I’m in touch with all my colleagues in South-South. As a party and family, we are all talking with Governor Wike. And the process is being led by our Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar because he is the leader. I believe that sooner than later we will be able to have the issue resolved."

Okowa condemns Shettima's comment on handling insecurity
Reacting to a comment by shettima, Ifeanyi Okowa, the running mate to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said it would be “absurd” if a vice president is in charge of the country’s security.

The Delta governor maintained that it will be the sole responsibility of the president, being the commander in chief, to preside over the security council.

While countering Okowa’s position, Keyamo, on his Twitter page, said any responsibility can be assigned to the Vice President and that it would not be absurd for any vice president to handle the country’s security

APC and PDP have had their turns with this nation but Nigeria was never better for it though the PDP did far far better than the satanic APC. However, since the prospect of regional govt is still not on the table, then Labour Party should also be given a chance until we get it right.

With his popularity growing by each passing day, Obi is not going back to PDP. In short, Kwankwanso and Obi may force this election into a runoff.

Atiku and Kwankwanso will share the votes from the north. Tinubu will struggle to get 25% from SE, SS, NC, NE and NW.

However, Atiku Abubukar is the favourite to win this election.

Obi must play his role to deprive PDP of their usual Southern votes.

Tinubu would stroll into the Presidency in 2023.

A vote for LP in SE and SS is more of a lose to PDP than APC..

LP will do PDP shege for their Traditional swing States...


As a fact, APC will actually be happy with the success of LP in SE and SS if it turns out to be a genuine votes...not online votes grin grin

And some hungry armchair 'analysts' here, including the Barcanista creature, are deceiving themselves that Obi wouldn't win even one state. I guess they know better than this sitting governor and presidential running mate.

There's nothing worse than self-delusion.

Ok naa
..
Meanwhile....
PLEASE BRING THIS TO THE NOTICE OF INEC.

INEC should release the detailed analysis, the breakdown, and the categorisation of the accredited voters who came out to participate in the Ekiti and Osun Governorship Elections.
(Just the way they released the details of the accredited voters who Participated in the 2015 General Elections...
https://inecnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Presidential-Election-Analysis-2015-1.pdf)



We need to study the patterns of the participation in those two elections.

We need to know the number (and percentage) of the youths who came out to participate in the election.
We also need to know the number of “businessmen” and “civil servants” and “artisans” who came out to vote.
..
The information will help us to predict better about the supposed outcome of the 2023 Elections..
