December 05, (THEWILL) – The Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and governor of Delta State, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, has commissioned the Atiku Abubakar/Okowa campaign office in Cross River State.
While commissioning the campaign office in Calabar over the weekend, Okowa said the PDP would recover, rescue and rebuild Cross River State, the South-South zone and the Nation from the sinking ship of the APC.
Okowa lauded the leadership of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) in the state. He noted that with the hard work of the Council and the love shown by the people of Cross River for the PDP, the party would emerge victorious in the 2023 general elections.
The Chairman of Atiku/Okowa National Presidential Campaign Council and the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, who inaugurated the PDP National Youth Campaign Council and the Women wing of the Presidential Campaign Council, said the PDP has never lost any election in Cross River State since 1999.
He reiterated his belief that 2023 will not be different and that the South-South Governors are united with the PDP family to win again.
Responding, Sen. Liyel Imoke, former Governor of Cross River State and the Deputy Director (Operations) of the Atiku/Okowa National Presidential Campaign Council, appreciated the Vice Presidential Candidate, the South-South Governors present and other distinguished guests for honouring and gracing the ceremony.
He expressed confidence that with the calibre of people inaugurated into the youth and women wings of the Presidential Campaign Council, the PDP will win all the elections in the State
In his welcome speech, the Senator representing Cross River Southern Senatorial District and Chairman of Cross River State Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Gershom H. Bassey, said the “APC in the State is trying to learn the game of electioneering from the PDP and will never know it enough to outclass the masters. The PDP will cruise to victory and Atiku Abubakar will win with Cross River State convincingly.”
Other party members in attendance included the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki; Bayelsa State Governor, Sen. Douye Diri; the Spokesperson for the National Campaign Council, Sen. Dino Melaye; Members of the CRS Presidential Campaign Council, CRS Executive Council of the party, PDP Candidates, Stakeholders, Civil Society Organisations and Representatives of Chapter and Ward leaders.
