Omimi Esquire, who made the statement this afternoon, Thursday June 16, in his reaction to the development which took the political space by storm, averred: “The emergence of my Boss as Vice Presidential Candidate of the PDP for the 2023 Presidential elections, has demonstrated over and over that his Sterling leadership style as well as proven track records of service to party at National levels, have placed him at the place of reckoning, in the annals of the party's history”.

While describing Dr. lfeanyi Okowa as a man of peace with a pan Nigeria mindset, Hon. Omimi Esquire, expressed joy, “that the modest efforts of the Governor in handling critical National assignments of the party, has come to be recognized”.

He said he was optimistic that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, would find in his running mate a dependable ally, who would help him steer the ship of state, “when PDP takes over governance at the Federal level, come May 29, 2023”.

“l am highly elated that the PDP has made a choice that will come down in the history of the party as a watershed decision. As Chairman of the Governors’ forum of the party in the South-South, Governor Okowa, has consistently provided leadership and unity among his colleagues as can be amply attested to by the zero-friction status of the forum. He has utmost respect for his colleagues and the party hierarchy. We thank God for this milestone, which will go a long way in winning the Presidential elections come 2023.

“Governor Okowa's emergence has finally put paid to the exuberance of the opposition in the state, who out of either mischief or sheer ignorance, embarked on peddling of unsubstantiated rumours on the Governor's prudent management and handling of state resources, without verifiable facts to buttress their claims. 

“Governor Okowa's impeccable track records, one of the qualities that stood him out as the preferred running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has been proved once again”, the PDP chieftain, emphasized.
