He asserted that Okowa’s decision was inspired by Tinubu’s good governance and commitment to unity and development of Nigeria.
The FCT Minister posted this on his verified X handle.
He wrote, “The open endorsement of President Tinubu by Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, who was the running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a vindication of the position I took in 2023, which was based on the interest of a united Nigeria.
“I commend Dr Okowa and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for this heart-warming decision, which must have been informed by good governance and commitment of President Bola Tinubu to the oneness and development of Nigeria.
“That is what I have always told people to come out and say, not when they have problems and begin to run up and down.
“They have come out at the right time to show support for the President so that the people of Niger Delta can benefit more from the government, and I commend them.
“I am particularly happy that what I saw before the 2023 presidential election, others are now seeing and are joining the Renewed Hope train”.
