2019 Election: PDP Will Take Back Power - Okowa

Delta State gov­ernor and Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Conven­tion Committee, If­eanyi Okowa yesterday boasted that the party will take over govern­ment in 2019.
Speaking at the con­vention meeting in Abuja, Okowa pointed out that “PDP has come alive, will stay alive and has sent a strong mes­sage to make Nigeri­ans to realise that we will take over power in 2019. There will be no failure on our part.”

The governor prom­ised that the non-elec­tive Convention Com­mittee would deliver a convention that the party people would be proud of.
Okowa, who pointed out that the days for preparation were short, added that the conven­tion committee did not see it as a challenge to deliver on its respon­sibilities and expecta­tions to organise a suc­cessful convention.
He said: “We are confident because we are an organised party; that we will definitely deliver a convention that we will be proud of as a party. I am trust­ing in the ability of our leaders, the chairmen and the secretaries of our sub-committees that we will do a good work.
“Also because we are an organised party, be­fore today, some level of work has been done by the National Work­ing Committee. I must appreciate them for what they have done before today. We hope that by Saturday, we will have a very good story to tell the public.
Our success will be that strong message that we will send out to the public.”
Meanwhile, the party Disciplinary Commit­tee led by Tom Ikimi was sworn-in yester­day by the party Na­tional Chairman, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi.
The party spokes­man, Prince Dayo Ad­eyeye, who spoke at the occasion, said, “these people were well se­lected, that it is a very important aspect of PDP. They are people that cannot be swayed by anything.”
