Governor Diri, in a congratulatory message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah described Senator Okowa as an astute administrator and politician with an outstanding record of performance in governance and politics at the state and national levels.<\/p>\n

Diri said Okowa\u2019s exemplary run in all the public offices he had held were a testimonial to his peaceful disposition and his capacity to build bridges of unity and togetherness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He noted that his choice as running mate to the PDP presidential flagbearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is equally an acknowledgement of Okowa\u2019s unimpeachable patriotism and loyalty to the country and his party.<\/p>
