He stated this on Saturday at an empowerment programme for the people of Ika Federal Constituency of the State, organised by the member representing the constituency in the House of Representatives, Mr Victor Nwokolo, at Boji-Boji Owa, Ika North East local government area.

The governor, who was in company of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Chief Sheriff Oborevwori and State chairman of PDP, Chief Kingsley Esiso, commended Nwokolo for his gesture in giving hope to the hopeless, describing the event as “empowerment programme with a difference”

He added that even students were having lots of challenges because their parents could not meet their needs owing to the level of poverty resulting from ineptitude of the APC-led Federal Government.

Okowa, therefore, urged Nigerians to support the PDP, saying it was the only party with clear understanding of the nation’s challenges and has clear solution to rescue the nation.

“The important thing is that we know the issues troubling our nation and we have a clear pathway for rescuing and rebuilding the nation,” he said.
