Former Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa has called on all Deltans to cue behind Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in 2027, to re-elect him for a second term.
Addressing party members in Ika North East Local Government Wards 3 and 4, Boji-Boji Owa, on Saturday, Okowa stated that Gov. Oborevwori has demonstrated love for all Deltans and has initiated policies that are adding value to the lives of the average Deltan.
Okowa, who expressed joy at the massive turnout of party members in the two wards, took a swipe at the few PDP members who left the party despite their personal achievements and successes, which were largely traceable to the empowerment they received while in the PDP.
He said he is aware of the antics of those looking to deceive others, but expressed confidence that party members knew those who truly meant well for them and their communities.
Okowa further expressed joy at the decision of the party leaders in the local government to initiate a monthly contributory scheme aimed at empowering the people.
He said: “It’s a thing of joy seeing party leaders coming together to extend ₦100,000 grants to each of the 100 persons drawn from the two wards.

“₦100,000 might not be too much considering the state of the economy, but I do not have any iota of doubt that it will have an impact on the very micro businesses of these our people, even as it will also aid and encourage our farmers.
“The beauty of this process is that the party leaders have assured that two wards will benefit from this gesture every month going forward.”
Addressing the crowd earlier, the PDP Chairman in Ika North East Local Government, Chuks Agbormah, welcomed the former governor and other party leaders to Owa Model Primary School, where the rally was held.
He assured the party leaders that efforts are ongoing to continue mobilizing support for Gov. Oborevwori.
Agbormah later received members of the APC who decamped to the PDP and assured them that the umbrella was large enough to accommodate them.
