The coordinator of Obidient movement in Isoko South Local Government of Delta State, Mr Omenuwoma Josiah has rejected Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s appointment as Special Assistant on Youth Mobilization.
Governor Okowa of Delta State who is also the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is making frantic efforts to buy as many opposition leaders with appointments ahead of 2023 general elections.

The Statement reads; “I choose to be OBIDIENT and I have decided to remain actively OBIDIENT because I strongly believe that Nigeria will be better if Mr Peter Obi is President by 2023.”
