The All Progressives Congress Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation in Delta has cautioned Governor Okowa ‘not to use Delta State funds to finance Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s campaign and other political activities’.
This warning was issued barely 24 hours after the presidential flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, named Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, as his running mate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The APC Governorship campaign organisation, in a statement issued on Friday by Ima Niboro, the Director, Communications and Media Strategy, said that “the call became necessary in the light of credible intelligence at its disposal that the 2023 General Election is a PDP conduit pipe to loot the State”.
According to the statement, “the use of taxpayers’ funds and collective resources of Deltans to fund personal political ambitions was unacceptable, callous and inhuman”.
