Internationally renowned engineer and environmentalist, Dr. Newton Jibunoh, has said that Delta State could not afford to have anyone succeed Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in 2023 who cannot keep up with the tempo of social and economic development of the state.
Jibunoh, who was nick-named ‘The Desert Warrior’ due to his persistent global campaign against desert encroachment, said he was convinced that former minister of education, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi, would be the suitable person to step into the shoes of Okowa as the next Governor of Delta State.
He said that the people would be fortunate to have the long-standing entrepreneur as governor in 2023 because Gbagi has the capacity and capability to industrialize the state.
