Members of a political group under the aegis of Delta Delta Political Vanguard (DPV) has reiterated their commitment to back whoever the Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa picks as governor for the 2023 Delta State governorship election.
The group which made their stand known while addressing party loyalists in Koko town, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State said although it is the turn of Delta Central Senatorial District to produce the governor in 2023, but in line with their slogan, they will follow Okowa to wherever he goes.

“It is the turn of Delta Central to produce the Governor. But we have a slogan which says, ‘Where Okowa go we will go.’ The game between DC-23 versus Delta Political Vanguard ends at a goalless draw. That is we all agree that where Okowa go we go.
“The second issue is that by the order of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa who said we should do it all inclusive. By the fourth meeting, we are going to inaugurate our EXCO member. The EXCO will not pretend. If you go back to your local government to present somebody that cannot bring result or beneficiary to this group, the Exco will crush it.
“I am saying this because we want to win and we want the best hand so that we can achieve our goals. We have done it before. We won the cup that was like a local government cup. The second cup we won was like an African cup of Nation. The cup we want to win now is called the World Cup. You do not do segment with your team and expect to win a world cup. We want to win this cup. We do not want to go to retirement,” he stated.
