Why I’m Supporting Ifeanyi Okowa – Zeb Ejiro

Zeb-EjiroForemost filmmaker and director, Zeb Ejiro, who has in recent times frowned at entertainers going into politics, has finally pitched his tent with the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa.

Ejiro said he decided to throw his weight behind Senator Okowa because he believes he has what it takes to take the state to the next level. Also Okowa’s electoral manifestos, which he described as ‘laudable and convincing enough’ are part of the things that attracted him into politics.
