Okowa And I Share Personality Traits – Atiku Defends Running Mate Decision
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has again defended his choice of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa as his running made saying that he shares some personality attributes that made the decision on the Dela governor imperative.
In a mail to supporters, Atiku said the office of President required that the holder of that office must have clarity of the mind on decision-making saying that it as such made it necessary that whosoever is running mate must have the same quality to prepare such for the office of president.
“In meeting up with this expectation, and more importantly to ensure that I make a pick of a running mate that you shall be proud of, it became necessary for me to be introspective about my choice,” Atiku said in his dispatch on Sunday afternoon.
“The Governor of Delta State, His Excellency Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa and I share a lot of personality attributes in common. He is a fine gentleman, but tenacious. His experience as a Senator will come in handy in some of the legislative reforms that are urgently needed to reformat our governmental processes,” Atiku said in comparing his personality traits with that of Okowa
“Ifeanyi and I are incurable optimists in the future of Nigeria and the promises it holds as one united, peaceful and prosperous country.
“Having him on the ticket brings a lot of asset to our campaign. In the months ahead to the general election, together with other great leaders of our party, the Peoples Democratic Party and, with your esteemed support, we shall work very hard to ensure convincing victory for our party. A victory for the PDP in the general election is a victory for Nigeria. When we win, Nigeria wins. The stakes in the election are very high, and it gives me tremendous joy that I can count on your support to win the election and get to work in earnest. Thank you and do have a pleasant weekend.”
