Moro Says PDP Could Have Won 2023 Election Without Okowa as VP
Senator Abba Moro, representing Benue South, has argued that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) could have won the 2023 presidential election if it had chosen a different vice-presidential candidate instead of former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today program, Moro described the decision to select Okowa as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate as a “serious mistake.” He pointed out that Okowa’s failure to deliver his home state of Delta in the election raised doubts about his commitment to the party. According to Moro, Okowa’s regret over his role in the election, coupled with his subsequent defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), further underscored his lack of dedication.
Moro went on to say that, with the benefit of hindsight, PDP might have secured a victory if someone else from the South had been selected as the vice-presidential candidate. He criticized the judgment of those involved in picking Okowa, especially given that a sitting governor and former senator couldn’t secure his own state for the party.
He concluded that Okowa’s actions revealed a deep lack of loyalty to the PDP, contributing to the party’s poor performance in Delta State and the overall election loss.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
