•‘Leave me alone to enjoy my well-deserved rest’

Immediate past Governor of Delta State, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, on Thursday, reiterated that he didn’t betray Southern presidency by accepting to be Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s running mate.

He said his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) agreed to throw its ticket open because it was in the opposition to enable the party present a formidable candidate that could match the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate.

Okowa, who spoke through his Media Adviser, Mr. Olisa Ifeajika at a news conference in Asaba, said once a Northerner emerged as the party’s candidate at a very transparent presidential primary election, he was duty bound by law to pick his running mate from the South.

The former Governor who was responding to allegations raised by elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark during an interview on ARISE Television on Wednesday, said as a member of a political party, he was duty bound to adhere to the party’s decisions.

“First let me put it on record that Senator Okowa has immense respect for Chief Edwin Clark, our revered father, elder statesman, respected Deltan and a very loud voice in the country.

“So, whatever he says is important but we are worried that the issues that have been addressed over and over are still being revisited by our father, Chief Clark.

“Because it is coming from him, otherwise we would have said let it slide but we have to respond to him because of who he is,” he added.

Okowa was playing politics like every other politician. Nobody should blame him.

These guys should move on. Presidency has already returned to the South.

PDP should focus on rebuilding their party and preparing for the next election.

I don't expect Escobar to organise a free and fair election though.
