2023: Wike, Makinde, Ortom, others will work for PDP – Okowa, Wabara

By Adeleye Kunle

The Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, and the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Adolphus Wabara, have assured that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and other aggrieved members will work for the party’s victory in 2023.

Responding to questions after a close door meeting with the BoT Special Reconciliation Committee on Saturday in Abuja, Okowa expressed hope that Governor Wike, Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Lawrence Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and other aggrieved members would come onboard.

Okowa also hinted that the governors are discussing among themselves, saying, “very soon the issues will be resolved.”

On how far they have gone with reconciliation, Okowa said, “I believe that they’re still a little work to be done, but a lot has been done. We are largely reconciled. There are still issues to be dealt with. That’s why you see some of the leaders of the party, the Board of Trustees, here today.”

“We have had very useful discussions on what they could do and what we ought to continue to do as a party. But, because the PDP is a very large party, we understand that there is some level of disagreement, but we will continue to stay in touch with ourselves to resolve the issues
