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.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
