2023: APC Has Set Nigeria Backward For Over 50 Years – Ayu
The National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyorchia Ayu, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has set the country backward for over 50 years with its failed programmes and policies.
Ayu stated this on Wednesday during the inauguration of the multi-billion naira Ogheye Floating Market and other projects in Delta State.
The PDP chairman also urged Nigerians to support his party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his mission to rescue and rebuild the nation.
Ayu asserted that the state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, earned the party’s vice-presidential ticket for the forthcoming general election due to his outstanding works and contributions to the party.
He also described the governor as “a brilliant and articulate statesman” who has continued to offer greater services to his people, the party and the country.
He said: “Thank you Deltans for the support you have given to us in our journey so far to recover and rebuild Nigeria.
“I am happy to come back to the State for the second time as National Chairman of our great party to inaugurate projects executed by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa who by the grace of God will become our next vice-president in a few months.
“I first took note of Okowa’s works as governor when he built the best State Secretariat in the country and I remember telling him that the nation was taking note of his contributions to the development of his people.”

“Some political parties will come to campaign to the people, make all manner of promises to deceive the people into voting for them but when they come into office they don’t fulfill their promises and that’s criminal.
“But the PDP which I was a founding member was formed to work for the people and we are particularly proud of our governors who are hoisting the party’s flag high.
“I am happy that there is continuity in governance here in Delta and the three governors so far, have not disappointed Deltans.”
