Honourable Funkekeme Solomon has urged Nigerians to rally for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections with a bid to return the country back to the path of sustainable growth after years of economic regression under the All Progressives Congress.


Funkekeme, a  Senior Political Adviser to the Delta State Governor, senator Ifeanyi Okowa, made the call in a congratulatory message to the party's presidential running mate on the conferment of the prestigious Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) on him by president Muhammadu Buhari

Dailymonitorngr reports that President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday conferred national awards on 437 Nigerians and some foreigners.

A statement signed  by Honourable Pius Mordi, Special Assistant on Political affairs to the Governor and made available to Dailymonitorngr, said the Senior Political Adviser to Atiku’s running mate described the national award of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) conferred on Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa as one that affirms him as a gem primed to steer Nigeria out of the precipice alongside Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.


He opined that the timing of the award is a divine testimony to the pivotal role Okowa is destined to play in rescuing the country under the auspices of the PDP.


"Since becoming the governor of Delta State, seven years ago, Okowa has superintended the remarkable transformation of the state, especially in the areas of infrastructural and human capital development. 


"At a time that our country is yearning for a new direction in the face of a failed administration, this award enables Nigerians to get an insight into the achievements of Okowa and know what to expect when he becomes the vice president",he said.
