Former Governor of Delta State and running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 Presidential Election, Ifeanyi Okowa, on Saturday, 7 November, 2026 said he has now seen the light and has decided to support President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 election.
Okowa made this disclosure while speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC), campaign rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
According to him, he was on another ticket in 2023, and that time has passed.
Okowa recalled that he was the running mate of then Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2023 election.
“I was in another ticket in 2023 but I have now seen the light. I have seen what Tinubu is doing. I have seen where Nigeria is going. I cannot stay in darkness when there is light,” Okowa said.
According to him, Tinubu has shown that he means well for Nigeria, just as he also admitted that while the President has taken hard decisions, those decisions are beginning to yield results.
He said he joined the APC not because of personal gain, but because he wants Delta and Nigeria to move forward.
“I am not here to deceive anybody. I have been in opposition before. I know what it is to be in opposition. But when you see the truth, you must follow the truth,” he added.
