According to Okowa: “Being from the South-South, I’m also an Igbo man.

“I fit into all the divides. My brothers in the South-East, I’m part of them. I’m also part of the South-South.

“But this does not stop the agitation in the future for the Igbos to have the presidency of this country.”

Okowa is an ‘Ika’ from the Owa-Alero community in Delta State.

Ika is a subgroup of the Igbo tribe and is predominantly found in Delta and Edo States.

The PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar unveiled Okowa as his running mate on Wednesday.
