Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has urged Deltans to vote for all the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the forthcoming 2019 general elections to ensure continuous dividends of democracy.
The governor made the call Saturday at Ozoro, Isoko North local government area of the state during an empowerment programme organised by Mr. Jay Ogor, younger brother of Leo Ogor, the minority leader and member representing Isoko federal constituency in the federal house of representatives.
According to Governor Okowa who spoke through the State Director of Protocol, Mr. Ifeanyi Eboigbe, a vote for all the candidates of the PDP will guarantee adequate provision of infrastructure and wealth creation for the people of the state.
“I am very pleased with my brother, Mr. Jay Ogor; I am happy seeing Isoko people in their large numbers here today, adding “Seeing the items here put together for this empowerment today, I cannot, but say thank you.
“This kind of empowerment can only be done by the PDP and this will go a long way in alleviating the living conditions of the beneficiaries. I therefore urge you all to go out and campaign for all candidates of our party so that we can be guaranteed of more infrastructural and human capital development,” he said
Flagging off the programme, which was attended by Senator James Manager; Leo Ogor, Delta South PDP Chairman, Emman Amgbaduba, Emmanuel Egbabor, Ovie Oghoore, Chairman Isoko North PDP, Godwin Ogorugba and his Isoko South counterpart, Raphael Odorewu, Dennis Etaluku, Ferguson Onwo and Kenneth Ogba, among others.
Earlier in his welcome speech, Mr. Jay Ogor, said he was moved to make the donations in line with the wealth creation policy of the Okowa led administration, adding that “over the years, I have been a strong believer of making people to be self-reliant and putting permanent smiles on the faces of our people.”
He announced that another round of empowerment would be held in January 2019, and called for patience and understanding as everybody cannot benefit at the same time.
While thanking the donor for the initiative, Senator Manager, called on the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the empowerment items in order to improve their living conditions.
The items donated include, 30 motor-cycles, saloon kits including 30 power generating sets, 30 sewing machines, financial assistance worth millions of naira to beneficiaries carefully selected with substantial inputs from the leadership of PDP in the 24 wards in Isoko Federal Constituency.
