Atiku came out of PDP – Okowa

Former Governor of Delta State, Ifeanya Okowa, said on Tuesday the former President of Vice Atiku Abubakar was on the way out of the people’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Okowa, who is a couple of Atiku in the 2023 election, spoke on Arise television.

He officially joined the Congress of All Progressive (APC) on Monday.

The former voting president in March formed a coalition that included the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai and the presidential candidate of the Labor Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, in front of the next national poll within two years.

Okowa told the program that he expressed his opinion about the current state of PDP during discussions with Atiku.

The former governor also stated regret that he did not support the search for shifting power to the south in 2023.

He said: “Even when we campaigned, I realized our people were not interested in asking the ruling north.

“But the decision has been taken at the federal level by the party, and I have been nominated. Still, in retrospect, I am now sure I should have gone with the will of my people.

“In PDP, I really communicate with former vice president that we will hold a stakeholder meeting

And that will be a leadership meeting and the results of the meeting will determine our next path because we are no longer comfortable with PDP.

“And I also know that he has come out of the PDP from the communication he has conveyed to me, and that the Nigerians already know.”
