WARRI—PEOPLES Democratic Party, PDP, Grassroots Vanguard has said that the best candidate among those aspiring to govern the state in 2015 was the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa.

National Coordinator of the group, Mr. Hope Agadaigho, spoke to reporters, yesterday, in Warri, Delta State.

He said: “It is clear that Senator Okowa has the right attributes, talents, mental capacity, experience, disposition, expertise and experience to take Delta to the next level and we will do our best to support him in this noble endeavour.

“He had been Commissioner of Water Resources, 1999-2003; Commissioner of Health, 2003-2006 during the tenure of Chief James Ibori as governor of Delta State.

“He equally served as Secretary to the State Government from 2007 till 2010, under the Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s administration before he resigned to pursue his Senatorial aspiration and was elected to represent Delta North Senatorial District in April 2011.

“He has carved a niche for himself as a team player and a performer. For us in PDP Grassroot Vanguard, Okowa is the most credible candidate for the governorship seat of Delta State in 2015.”

“In each and every assignment that Okowa had been entrusted with, he distinguished himself as a simple, humble, amiable, dependable, trusted and competent personality.
