Dr. Adun, who noted that Governor Okowa possesses the needed intellectual capability that would bring value to governance at the federal level, if the PDP was eventually elected by Nigerians, stressed that it was as a result of the confidence the former Vice President of Nigeria and indeed the entire PDP members reposed in him that gave the Delta Governor the VP slot.
