Chairman of the National Youth Council (NYC), in Rivers State, Chijioke Ihunwo, has reacted to the emergence of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, as the running mate to Alhaji Atiku itAbubakar against Governor, Nyesom Wike.
Ihunwo in a statement said Okowa lacked the capacity to win elections, adding that the PDP has laid a foundation for failure.
According to him, PDP abandoned Wike for a serial defector like Atiku, despite the loyalty of Wike and his contributions.
Part of his statement reads.
Governor Wike stood up to ensure that the PDP survived. Those holding positions in the party today are serial defectors. Atiku has been junketing to different parties but today he is flying the party’s flag.
“What happened at the primary was abnormal. An aspirant spoke, came back a second time to speak again. But Wike ignored all that to pursue the unity pf the party. Okowa cannot win election in Delta State. They have betrayed Wike.
“PDP has not been fair to Wike. This is a man who has stood for the party. He ensured the opposition did not crash PDP but they are coming to pay him with evil.
“I won’t advise Wike to accept any offer for a campaign DG to Atiku. Why will he fund Atiku campaign when they betrayed him despite all he did to rebuild the party
