Okowa, who was the chairman of the governors’ forum in the south-south, played a leading role to assemble the governors in the region for a meeting that took place in Asaba, the capital of Delta on July 5, 2022.
Kunle DaramolaOvie Omo-Agege, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress , says the people of Delta are determined to punish Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of the state, for betraying the south.
Speaking on Thursday after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja, Omo-Agege said “Delta is ripe for the taking” from the PDP.“It is the position of Deltans and most especially, indeed entire southern Nigeria, that given the fact that we have supported Mr president, Muhammadu Buhari, for the past eight years, it’s only fair, just and equitable that the next president should come from southern Nigeria,” he said.
“So to the chagrin and disappointment of many at home, Okowa betrayed that cause by selling away our right to the presidency, and instead going for the office of a vice president at a time when the entire country is offering us the presidency.AdvertisementOmo-Agege, who is the deputy senate president, said Okowa has mismanaged the financial resources of the state, adding that nothing tangible has been done by the Delta governor in his eight years in office.
“That is a very serious misconception to tag Delta state, as a PDP state. Delta is very ripe for the taking,” he said.
