Elder statesman and First Republic Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, on Thursday, came down hard on the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, saying he will not succeed in his desire to become the nation’s next vice president.
Okowa is the running mate to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.
He called on the governor to apologise to his colleagues in both the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party over his decision to serve as Atiku’s running mate. He accused the governor of betraying governors from the southern part of the country by accepting to serve as Atiku’s running mate.
“I can therefore understand why you have deliberately and immorally betrayed your colleagues of Southern Nigeria and the people for your selfish ambition by wanting to land on safer ground by accepting to serve as running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
