Why I ditched Atiku – Okowa

Ifeanyi Okowa, former Delta State governor and Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in 2023, announced his support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election at an APC rally in Port Harcourt. He said he had “seen the light” and believed Tinubu was laying a solid foundation, while warning against restoring fuel subsidies. Campaign director Abdulaziz Yari set a target of 2.3 million votes for Tinubu in Rivers State, where 2.8 million voter cards have been collected out of 3.3 million registered voters. Godswill Akpabio, Nentawe Yilwatda and Magnus Abe also voiced support for Tinubu’s candidacy and the Rainbow Coalition in the state.
