EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria's Anti-corruption Agencies, officialEFCC, ICPC_PE Go After Commissioners, Aides Of Delta Governor, IAOkowa | Sahara Reporters

"The aide is very popular, influential and number one strong man of Okowa. He is always with the governor, whether thick or thin. As I talk to you now, the list is ready for action but I can confirm to you authoritatively that the governor's long-time aide and youth mobiliser is the number one person on the list to be picked up. As I told you, there are other close political associates and aides to the governor that will be picked up too.
"The 2023 political chess game has started. I can confirm to you authoritatively with the intelligence before us that an APC serving senator and a senator who recently defected from the PDP to the APC are those behind this whole game. They have perfected all the plans, they have connived with the EFCC and ICPC to begin the clampdown on close associates and aides of the governor, because the APC senator vowed to be the next governor of Delta state come 2023, at all cost.
"Especially, one of the principal aides to the governor, who is very close to the governor and good at mobilising the youths is among them. The sponsors of this plan are two APC senators. Because of the 2023 governorship election and for fear of the unknown, they have decided to use the EFCC and ICPC to intimidate and harass the opposition. You can't kill the people for you to become a governor. We are fully ready for them.
