Politics / Why Obi Had ‘Sweeping Victory’ In South-South, South-East - Okowa by TheDemola: 5:55pm On Mar 13, 2023 |
The vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ifeanyi Okowa, has said that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, leveraged on a lot of factors to garner sweeping victory in the South-South and South-East geopolitical zones in the February 25 presidential election.
Okowa, who is also the governor of Delta State, said this on Monday in Asaba while reacting to the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.
He said, “A lot of factors contributed to the sweeping victory of Obi in South-South and South-East.
“The agitation that the presidency should come to the southern part of the country, religion and Igbo presidency are key factors.
"Obidients movement is a movement that swept across the South-South and South-East. The people wanted Obi as a change. They believed it is turn of South-East.
“I believe that people have exercised their rights in a democratic process but INEC did not follow Electoral Act”.
On whether he has been in talks with former Governor James Ibori over affairs of the PDP in the state, Okowa said, “It is private for us as politicians and I can’t disclose our discussions to you.”
On Ibori supporting the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Okowa said, “For him to support the APC candidate, it is his choice.”
Okowa stated that he stands for Sheriff Oborevwori who emerged from a democratic process of the PDP primary.
He explained that he had fulfilled the promises made to Deltans in 2015, noting that over 2,000 kilometres of road and over 1,000 km of drainages had been constructed across the state including in the riverine areas.
“Continuity is something that works in Delta, so if I cannot finish them, I believe the incoming administration will continue where I stopped.
“It is unfortunate that everybody is aspiring to be governor of the state and keep lying to Deltans. Today, Omo-Agege is sitting at the floor of the House approving loans for FG.
“He does not have the moral justification to accuse my administration. Every loan we collected followed due process and was tied to projects,” Okowa added https://punchng.com/why-obi-had-sweeping-victory-in-south-south-south-east-okowa/ 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Politics / We Own Lagos, We Own Nigeria - King West, MC Oluomo’s Son Boasts by TheDemola: 4:20pm On Mar 01, 2023 |
King West, the son of All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, MC Oluomo, has reacted to the victory of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 general elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the wee hours of Wednesday morning declared the former Governor of Lagos State as the winner of the election after polling the highest number of votes ahead of his counterparts from other political parties.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar came second behind Tinubu while Labour Party (LP) candidate, Peter Obi, emerged third in the race.
In a post on his Instagram stories, MC Oluomo’s son boasted they own Lagos and Nigeria, adding that Lagos APC gubernatorial candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu will be reelected for a second term.
According to him, nothing will stop Sanwo-Olu’s victory in Lagos irrespective of how the opposition parties will fight.
He said: “Na we get Lagos, Na we get Nigeria, free announcement for those at the back. Sanwoolu is going to be elected for second term if you like go and pack everyone in your village to come and vote.
“There’s no promo during the governorship elections. For those of you that attended Tunde Ednut school of politics, you can choose to remain ignorant to the fact that politics is not for the faint hearted. Obi is a boy, I am even smarter than him.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/03/we-own-lagos-we-own-nigeria-mc-oluomos-son-boasts/ 19 Likes 8 Shares |
