PDP Campaign assures Delta Residents on Atiku/Okowa

Campaign management committee spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State, Latimore Oghenesivbe has again assured Nigerians that the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, will put an end to the nation’s feeding bottle economy which practically slowed down economic growth since 1960.

Oghenesivbe gave the assurance in a statement on Tuesday in Asaba, saying that the over sixty years “feeding bottle economy” wherein states rely solely on monthly oil revenue from the federal government had crippled production of Nigerian made products and the extractive industry.

He noted that self reliance by regions and states under the restructuring federal system as assured by PDP Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates, will create healthy competition among the regions, facilitate economic recovery, wealth creation and sustainable growth.

Oghenesivbe, who is also the Executive Assistant on Communications to PDP Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Okowa, call on Nigerians especially eligible voters to cast their votes for PDP and vote Atiku for President, so as to rescue Nigeria from the bad governance of APC, noting that APC changed Nigeria from the fastest growing economy in Africa in 2015 to the world capital of hunger and indebtedness in 2022 and counting .

“It’s glaring that restructuring is a must for Nigeria, if our governors must stop depending solely on oil revenue sharing on a monthly basis. They go cap in hand to Abuja to beg for their funds to be released.

“The oil revenue sharing thing has made some of the states to be very lazy; instead of partnering with the private sector and foreign investors to harness their rich minerals and other natural resources for export.

“Restructuring will enable states or regions to control their God given natural and mineral resources including crude oil, gold, coal and others, and to take charge of export, proceeds and pay tax to the federal government.

“The self reliance economic model of Atiku-Okowa will create healthy competition, create more jobs and wealth for Nigerians across States, regions and geopolitical zones.

“This is one of the valid reasons why Nigerians must partner with PDP in this electioneering dispensation to vote Atiku-Okowa for President and Vice President, in 2023,” Oghenesivbe said.
