Ifeanyi Okowa, the vice presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has scoffed at the Labour Party’s (LP) chances of winning the next presidential election.
Speaking in Aboh while leading the Delta State PDP campaign train to the Ndokwa East and Ndokwa West Local Government Areas of Delta State, Okowa urged PDP supporters to persuade LP members to join the party in order to prevent the All Progressives Congress (APC) from retaining power more easily the following year.

“We all know that the candidate of APC is not good enough to be our president. Also, we know that Labour Party is not going anywhere and we need to sweet talk the party supporters not to waste their votes,” the Delta State governor said on Friday.
In spite of the party’s animosity towards the PDP G-5 led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Governor Okowa also stated that only God can decide who will be Nigeria’s next president.
“God has said that we the PDP will win this election. Many things may be happening now and people may be asking ‘What about the G-5 governors?’” he said.
“These governors are our brothers; everybody is important. But what God has said will happen, nobody can change it. So even if some of them decide to support APC, some will still remain with us because there will be division among them.
“The real truth is that I have strong political eyes and I have observed that no matter what they do, PDP will win the forthcoming election, by the grace of God.
“It is only the power of God that can help us to win. So, no matter what the G-5 said that they would work with APC or any other party, we will win.”
