Former Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has urged Nigerians to re-elect President Bola Tinubu in 2027, declaring that the President deserves another term to consolidate his policies and ongoing development projects across the country.
Okowa made the call on Saturday at the South-South campaign flag-off of the All Progressives Congress in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he expressed confidence in Tinubu’s capacity to transform Nigeria.
The former governor, who is the APC senatorial candidate for Delta North, urged voters across the South-South to mobilise massively for Tinubu and other party candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
Okowa said his decision to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC, alongside Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, was informed by his conviction that Tinubu’s policies were capable of repositioning the country for sustainable development.
He said his support for the President was rooted in what he described as credible policies and programmes designed to rebuild the Nigerian economy.
“You all know that in 2023 I was on another ticket, but I have seen the light and I have seen what Mr President is doing for Nigeria.
“It is the right thing to be done, and I have, along with my governor, long ago crossed to the APC to join hands with Mr President, because he is truly building a new Nigeria,” Okowa said.
The former governor maintained that the South-South region must not be left behind in the Tinubu re-election campaign, insisting that the region had benefited from the President’s reforms and infrastructure drive.
He called on APC leaders, party faithful and undecided voters across the region to unite behind Tinubu, stressing that a massive electoral victory in 2027 would enable the President to continue his development agenda.
