Political gladiators from the three senatorial districts of Delta state under the auspices of Delta Political Vanguard, DPV, an influential pressure group, have vowed to support any of the governorship aspirants that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa opts for as his successor for 2023.

DPV members, mainly PDP faithful, who played major role in Okowa’s emergence as governor, both in 2015 and 2019, converged on Government Field, Agbor, Ika South local government area of the state for the group’s New Year get-together, where the leaders reaffirmed their stand.

Chairman of PDP in the state, Barr. Kingsley Esiso, who agreed with DPV, said the person to decide who the next governor would be is the incumbent, adding: “Therefore, on Okowa, we stand.”

“We want a governor in 2023 that will follow the footsteps of Okowa because we want continuity in road construction, school development, healthcare delivery and human capital development.

He charged the governorship aspirants to hold their pastors very strongly for the governor to pick them as standard – bearer of the party.

“My message to all the aspirants is that they should hold their pastors very strong so that Okowa will come one day to raise up his hands and as soon as Okowa raised his hands, there we will go. On Okowa, we stand”, he declared.
