Delta 2023: Okowa Has Confidence In Me – Edevbie

Ahead of the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship primaries in Delta State, one of the major aspirants, David Edevbie has said that he enjoys the confidence of the outgoing governor of the state, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa.

GWGNG reports that Edevbie was endorsed by the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, as the consensus aspirant of the Urhobo nation, a move that sparked outrage among the supporters of the outgoing governor and the Delta Central chapter of the PDP.

Now in a move apparently aimed at winning the confidence of the governor and his camp, Edevbie in an interview with The Nation expressed his deep confidence in Okowa saying:

“Our relationship is very cordial. He is my friend and political leader.  And, over the years we have supported each other in several ways. I worked with him as a colleague for approximately five years and subsequently for him for about six years initially as Finance Commissioner and later as Chief of Staff. I know that he reposes a lot of confidence in me,” Edevbie said in expressing the confidence Okowa has in him.

Speaking on his preparation for the primaries, Edevbie said:

“I should say that I am fully prepared and that my chances with the delegates during the PDP primaries are bright if they are free and fair. To start with, I have consulted far and wide and taken my campaign message to every nook and cranny of Delta State. I consulted party leaders and members. I consulted opinion leaders.

“I took my message to different interest groups. I sought the prayers and endorsement of our highly-revered royal fathers across the state. I left no stone unturned. My team worked day and night. We crafted a manifesto and a campaign message. And, in recognition of my preparedness, no fewer than 200 groups and associations have endorsed my aspiration and, by extension, my candidacy. I was on the shortlist of three by the DC-23.

“Indeed,  the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU), has endorsed me again as the Urhobo aspirant of choice for Delta 2023 governorship just as it did ahead of the 2014 PDP primaries. My consultation was untiring, and the delegates saw and identified with my message.”
