According to Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, a vice presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government is to blame for the country’s increased hunger and poverty due to bad economic management.
This was said by Okowa on Saturday at an empowerment event in the state’s Boji-Boji Owa Local Government Area.
Okowa said, “Nigeria is troubled because people are hungry and out of jobs due to mismanagement of the nation’s economy.
“Even students are having lots of challenges because their parents can not meet their needs owing to the level of poverty resulting from the ineptitude of the APC-led Federal Government.
“The important thing is that we know the issues troubling our nation and we have a clear pathway for rescuing and rebuilding the nation.”
Okowa encouraged Nigerians to support the PDP as a result.
He said that it was the only party that had a comprehensive knowledge of the problems facing the country and a plan to solve them.
Additionally, he wished for the pupils who benefited from the empowerment initiative to work hard in school and succeed for the benefit of their families and the general populace.
