Sapele—Ahead of the 2015 governorship elections in Delta State, a political group in the state, Okowability Prosperity Network, with over 2,000 membership strength across the 25 local government areas, has directed its members to mobilise at least, 20 voters each, amounting to 40,000 votes for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the governorship and presidential elections.

The party’s governorship flag bearer, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, and its presidential candidate, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, got the acceptability of the group, following what it described as “Their track record of successful programmes that have touched the people’s socio-economic lives and the general infrastructural development of the state and the country as a whole.

Its state Chairman, Mr Solomon Okowa, after an emergency meeting in Asaba, said it had directed all its members to ensure full compliance, hinging its stand on “The laudable transformation agenda of the two candidates.”
