‘PDP will soon control all 36 states of the federation,’ Delta governor says

Okowa made the comment on Thursday, May 5, 2016, while speaking to members of the party in the Ika North-East local government area of the state, Vanguard reports.

“I congratulate the chairman and those who were elected into the executive committee of the party at the local government areas, including the national delegates. I must thank our party leaders because what we witnessed today, shows unity and strength," he said.

“We had very peaceful congresses not only in Ika North-East but the 25 local government areas of Delta State. We have engaged in the process of reconciliation and building consensus and the peace we are enjoying in our party today is a product of hard work.

“Because we worked hard, we had a peaceful congress and we have seen a wonderful showing that we love ourselves and the consensus we have built is good for us.

“We are confident that going into the future, we will win all the states of the federation we must continue to build consensus, we must be able to build friendship and ensure that every voice is heard. We have always won elections in Delta State but we cannot go to sleep,” he added.

PDP Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff had earlier expressed optimism that the party would gain control of 30 states of the federation in 2019.
