Gov. Okowa has taken lead in restructuring – Atiku
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) nominee for president, praised Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa, his running mate, for assuming the initiative on restructuring before the Federal Government was even involved.
Abubakar gave the commendation while inaugurating the Koka Flyover and Interchange on Wednesday in Asaba, a project constructed by the Gov. Okowa-led administration on the federal highway.
He noted that the project was executed in line with his proposed agenda of restructuring and power devolution, to enable the state governments to execute projects that would impact their people without having to wait for the Federal Government.
Despite the fact that some state governments had adopted this strategy, Abubakar suggested that other governors should follow Gov. Okowa’s lead.
He said in spite of the Federal Exclusive Lists, they impact the people, while urging them to vote and support PDP during the elections.
