Nigeria must be rescued, rebuilt from misrule of APC – Okowa
Vice-Presidential Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, said on Sunday that 2023 is a pivotal year in Nigeria as he congratulated citizens on the New Year.
Okowa who stated this in a New Year message broadcast on national radio and television said that with the general elections a few weeks away, 2023 promised to be a great year for Nigerians as they prepare to elect new leaders for the country.
He noted that Nigerians had a turbulent 2022, grappling with unabating insecurity, rising hunger and poverty and an economy plagued with huge debts.
As he congratulated Nigerians for entering the new year, he condoled with the family of Lagos female lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, killed by a police officer on Christmas day, and called on the police authorities to ensure that justice was done on the matter.
“First, let me say Happy New Year to all of us. Those of us that are alive to witness the birth of 2023 have every reason to thank God for His manifold mercies and sustaining grace.
“It is my desire and prayer that our hopes, dreams, and aspirations as individuals, families, and Nigerians will come to fruition in this pivotal year,” he said, and explained that the new year was pivotal because Nigerians would, in a few weeks, go to the polls to choose new leaders.
The governor said that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government had plunged Nigeria and its citizens into untold hardship.
According to him, Nigeria needs to be rescued and rebuilt from the misrule of the APC-led administration.
