Former governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, claims he has changed his mind and will back President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign event in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday, Okowa revealed this.
Okowa emphasised that time has passed, pointing out that he was on another ticket in 2023.
Remember that Okowa was Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the 2023 election for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“I was in another ticket in 2023 but I have now seen the light. I have seen what Tinubu is doing. I have seen where Nigeria is going. I cannot stay in darkness when there is light,” Okowa said.
According to him, Tinubu has shown that he means well for Nigeria. He admitted that while the President has taken hard decisions, those decisions are beginning to yield results.

He said he joined the APC not because of personal gain, but because he wants Delta and Nigeria to move forward.
“I am not here to deceive anybody. I have been in opposition before. I know what it is to be in opposition. But when you see the truth, you must follow the truth,” he added.
Justice Peter Odo Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified all of the African Democratic Congress’s (ADC) procedures that produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the party’s nominee for the 2027 election.
The appointment of former Senate President David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, and other individuals as National Officers of the ADC was declared invalid by the judge in a ruling on Thursday.
Due to their departure from the unconstitutional and unlawful leadership of the ADC, all candidates nominated for the 2027 general elections have likewise had their nominations revoked.
Justice Lifu upheld the case of Nafiu Bala Gombe, a Deputy National Chairman of the ADC, that David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola emerged as leaders of the party in unlawful and illegal ways.
The judge held that all actions taken by David Mark leadership in the name of ADC are unlawful and nullified.
