Okowa Predicted PDP Loss in 2023 Presidential Election

Ifeanyi Okowa, the former Governor of Delta State and ex-vice presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election, revealed that he foresaw the party's defeat before the election results were announced. Okowa expressed his concerns about the political climate, predicting that the PDP would finish behind the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He disclosed that he communicated his expectations to Christian leaders prior to the election, stating, “I knew we would not win the election.” The 2023 presidential election concluded with Bola Tinubu of the APC winning, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP finishing second, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) coming in third.
