Anioma Economic Group has hailed Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa on his choice of Mr. Kingsley Otuara as his running mate in the Feburary 21, 2015 governorship election in Delta State.

This came as the governorship candidate of the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP, enjoined Deltans to unite and remain focused to usher in the New Year and a new leadership in the forthcoming elections.

In a statement, yesterday, the Secretary General of the group, Mr. McAnthony Ndukaeze, said Okowa has shown character and integrity in the face of the first major challenge to his governorship aspiration.

Ndukaeze said: “Those pressurising Okowa on the region that should produce his running mate were trying to complicate the already complex situation thrown up by those who wanted to impose their anointed candidate on Deltans.”
