The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta on Wednesday night kept vigil in Asaba in order to dedicate the party’s 2019 general elections campaign to God.
According to report, the party will on Friday flag-off its campaign in the state at Oghara, Ethiope West Local Government Area of the state.
The party members were addressed by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, at the vigil in Government House and he expressed confidence that the candidates of the party would be granted victory by God in the February/March general elections.
Okowa said: “because we have put our God first, we have no need to be scared going into the campaign or scared of the elections.
“God is leading us into the battle and we will have victory.
“As a people and as a party, there is no doubt that we have been working hard these three and half years to deliver democratic dividends to our people.
“It is significant that we come to the presence of God today to seek Him.
“It is going to be the battle of the spirits and our God will prevail; our opponents that are relying on small gods will fail.
“Opponents will come with all sorts of rumours but we will need to work hard to ensure that we deliver all the candidates of our party.”
However, the governor warned party members against slanderous words on others during campaign as well as urged them to tell the electorate what the party had achieved in the state and seek their votes.
The governor added that “We should think about PDP, realizing that we are one family and once we have that in mind, we will excel.”
