The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) Vice Presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Ifeanyi Okowa has dumped the party.
He was the running mate to Atiku Abubakar during the election.
Okowa, the immediate past governor of Delta State defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Senator James Manager announced this on Wednesday in Asaba, Delta State capital shortly after a meeting at Government House, Asaba.
Manager stated, “All PDP members in the state, including the governor, former Governor Okowa, the Speaker, the state party chairman, all the local government chairmen and others, have agreed to move to the APC. We cannot continue to be in a sinking boat.”
Before the announcement, Okowa said in his dialect, while addressing a people, that he would take the best decision.
“Be assured that we will not go in the wrong direction. We will take the best direction, the best path for our people,” said the former governor in a viral video.
Okowa defected alongside his successor and other stakeholders of the PDP in the State.
