Ifeanyi Okowa, PDP vice-presidential candidate, has reacted to accusations of betrayal from party members.
Ifeanyi Okowa, outgoing governor of Delta state, has spoken on the accusations of betrayal levelled against him regarding the southern presidency agenda.
The Delta state governor, who was the vice-presidential candidate of the PDP, has been repeatedly accused of betraying the south.The accusations partly stemmed from the reported resolution of the southern governors — from PDP and the All Progressives Congress — after a meeting in Asaba, Delta state capital.
He said the issue of zoning was never discussed as a main agenda at the meeting in Asaba, adding that it was only passed across as an afterthought. “When we had finished, under ‘any other business’, the matter was thrown up and we just found that a lot of us were ambushed but a majority actually had their way.
“I’ll tell you the truth behind the whole thing, if you’re going to back a situation, you must ensure that the situation is right for your party and that was the question I raised when people said it was a betrayal,” he said.‘NORTHERN PRESIDENCY WOULD HAVE SUCCEDED IF OBI DID NOT LEAVE’
