Former Senate President of Nigeria, Bukola Saraki, has made a passionate appeal to Nigerians to support the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as 2023 elections beckons.
He made the plea while commissioning the DLA Road, in Asaba, last weekend.
“It is on record that in our party, any time we have difficult assignments, we come to you because of your competence, integrity and commitment to duty.
“Our country is passing through some difficulties and I appeal to Nigerians to give PDP the chance again to lead Nigeria and you will see the difference.
“Your administration’s commitment to the growth and development of Asaba capital city is laudable and commendable,” Saraki said.
He added that the future of Nigeria will depend on infrastructure as being provided in Delta, and said “we are proud of what we as PDP government is doing here in Delta.”
In his remarks, Governor Okowa commended Saraki for his exemplary leadership in the PDP and the nation.
He expressed delight to have achieved the completion of DLA Road and adjoining streets after unsuccessful attempts by previous administrations in the state.
“We are truly very happy that this road is being inaugurated by you; there has been previous attempts at constructing the road but it failed because of inadequate drainage facilities.
“Beyond the construction of the roads, we have done the major sewer leading to the Amilimocha River and we are glad that the road will be put to use at all times in the year.
“We are constructing a leisure park and a film village because Asaba is home to Nollywood and we will want to maintain our leadership in Nollywood,” he disclosed.
