Reclaim Delta Coalition: Atiku/Okowa A Ticket Made In Hell,

By EgbemaVoice, If it was not already clear that Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar and the People's Democratic Party, PDP, have absolutely nothing to offer this country, it has certainly become incontestable by his picking Delta State Governor, Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, as running mate. Okowa stabbed Ndigbo in the back, betrayed Peter Obi and pulled the rug from under Nyesom Wike's feet. It is this traitor that Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar, as if to similarly prove himself a traitor, has now picked as running mate in a race they are both clearly destined to run to absolutely nowhere. Atiku claims he is the messiah destined to save Nigeria but his preferred partner is the very worst state governor in today's Nigeria. Within less than half a year, Okowa has borrowed over 300 billion naira in the name of the richest state per capita in Nigeria. Within under six months, Okowa, in cahoots with the rubber-stamp Delta State House of Assembly, led by his Man Friday of a barely educated gove

By EgbemaVoice, Gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has again been described as a man with weak morals and bereft of leadership qualities and transformational ideas. The assertion was contained in a statement on Sunday 19th June, by the Executive Assistant to Delta State Governor on Communications, Olorogun Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, in swift reaction to a statement by Agege's campaign media in respect of the choice of Governor Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa as Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

PRESS RELEASE  The Delta State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has chided the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) Governorship Campaign Organisation, for being jittery over the emergence of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate to the PDP Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
