The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, has stated that the ''calm, articulate and brilliant'' attitude of the Delta State
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, has stated that the ”calm, articulate and brilliant” attitude of the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa was considered for his selection as the running mate for the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 general election.
Speaking on Wednesday in Warri North Local Government Area of the State during the inauguration of the Ogheye Floating Market, Ayu accused the ruling party of taking Nigeria back by 50 years, urging the people of the State to vote out the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the forthcoming general election.
Ayu has been at the centre of the crisis rocking the main opposition party immediately after its presidential primary last year. Permutations were rife in the wake of the primary that Atiku would pick Wike as his running mate, but in a twist of events, he settled for Okowa, who is considered by some stalwarts as less strong in the party compared to Wike.
