The Lawmaker urged the people to shun politics of bitterness, stressing that the entire state, irrespective of political affiliation need to garner support for the Governor as his emergence as Vice President of Federal Republic of Nigerian will be of great benefit to the state.
“I congratulate on behalf of my family and constituents, His Excellency, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa for emerging as the running mate to Atiku Aburbakar. It was indeed well deserved as the governor has put in so much to grow the party. He has been a committed party man since the formation of the PDP.
“I read some derogatory statements about the governor’s acceptance for the position. This is not necessary. I enjoin all, irrespective of party to rally support for our own becoming the Vice President of Nigeria. It is a great opportunity that we should not miss as Deltans. Once again, I congratulate His Excellency and pray God to give us victory at the polls”, Oharisi stated.
