Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike of Rivers State and his Delta State counterpart, Ifeanyi Okowa, have expressed optimism that only Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will pull Nigeria from the brinks of collapse.
While speaking at the PDP South-South zonal congress in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, the duo say only their party can improve the living condition of Nigerians which has diminished under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Addressing party members, Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, said the PDP has a bright prospect to return to power in 2023.
He maintained that Nigeria was much better under PDP rule than the APC, adding that the PDP will pull back the country from the brink and Nigerians will be better for it.
He praised the zone saying, “as a party and we thank God, because you know when the South South zone of the Peoples Democratic Party speak, we speak with one voice. And being the strength of our party and the South-South being the strength of our nation, Nigeria, we cannot but continue to give glory to God because God has brought us together and as long as we stay united and strong, we will be continually respected in this nation.”
He said going forward the leadership will continue to give direction that will help to rebuild the party and to take back country.
While addressing members of the party to be steadfast, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state said, “the hope of this party in this country is the South-South zone. Since 1999 that has been the case and it has never changed, and by the grace of God it will not change.”
“Let us conduct ourselves to show that PDP is different from all other political associations. And that of course will show we are more committed; we mean well and are waiting by the grace of God to take over power in 2023.”
