‘God forbid I work or romance with APC, PDP, I am for NNPP, there is no going back.
‘This is a golden opportunity for all Nigerians if they want things to change for the better. NNPP is the answer and if they want things to continue, so be it,’ he added.
In another report, the Governor of Delta State and Vice Presidential Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Okowa on Friday declared that only God has the power to determine Nigeria’s next President and not the action of G-5 governors.
