The Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has congratulated
Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa on his victory at the Monday Peoples Democratic Party
governorship primaries.
Uduaghan, in a press statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary,
Sunny Ogefere, described the victory of Okowa, who polled 406 votes to
beat his closest rival, Chief David Edebvie, who scored 299 votes, as well deserving.
Governor Uduaghan, who is the leader of the PDP in the state, charged Okowa to
demonstrate the spirit of sportsmanship by quickly extending a hand of
fellowship to other contestants.
He also called on the other aspirants to note that the exercise was a
family contest where there was no winner or loser, urging them to join
hands with Okowa in positioning the party for victory at the general elections.
He said: “Let all faithful members of our great party be reminded that now
that a candidate has emerged, it is incumbent on us all to close ranks and
work assiduously towards ensuring victory for the PDP in the general elections.
“I must also at this juncture commend the peaceful disposition displayed by
all aspirants before and during the primaries. This is a testament to our peace
and security agenda in the state.”
