Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta and Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),on Friday said that only God would determine the winning of his party in the next year’s presidential election and and not the action of G-5 governors.
Okowa made the statement in Aboh, when he led Delta PDP campaign train to Ndokwa East and Ndokwa West Local Government Areas of the state.
He expressed confidence that the five governors would put the past behind them and work for the victory of PDP in the 2023 general elections.
He said: “God has said it that we, the PDP, will win this election. Many things may be happening now and people may be asking what about the G-5 governors.
“These governors are our brothers; everybody is important. But what God has said will happen, nobody can change it.
“So even if some of them decide to support APC, some will still remain with us because there will be division among them.
“The real truth is that I have strong political eyes and I have observed that no matter what they do, PDP will win the forthcoming election, by the grace of God.
“It is only the power of God that can help us to win. So, no matter what the G-5 said that they would work with APC or any other party, we will win.”
Okowa said the PDP would bring the desired change in the country and urged Nigerians to vote the party for progress
He also dismissed the chances of the Labour Party (LP) in next year’s presidential election.

“We all know that the candidate of APC is not good enough to be our president. Also, we known that Labour Party is not going anywhere and we need to sweet talk the party supporters not to waste their votes,” the Delta State governor said on Friday.
The former lawmaker urged PDP supporters to prevail on members of the LP to return to the party so as not to make it easier for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to retain power next year.
“Those supporters wishing to vote for Labour Party are only indirectly helping APC and trying to reduce the vote of PDP.
“So, please go and plead with Labour Party supporters to return to PDP and join hands with us to change Nigeria for the better.
“We,the PDP,are ready to change the so-called previous change. Therefore, everyone should go and get his or her PVC,” he said.
Okowa charged the people to embark on House-to-House, Market-to-Market campaign to convince the people to support PDP’s rescue mission.
He said the ticket of Atiku and Okowa would bring about a united Nigeria and a booming economy driven by the private sector.
Okowa added that the PDP would restructure the country and would make money available for states and local governments to embark on projects.
