From a mile away, Deltans can smell the scam in this correspondence transmitted to the Delta State House of Assembly by Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa. A man who hides behind a finger probably thinks no one is seeing him. Everyone can see Okowa clearly, though he thinks otherwise. The Ukraine and Russia war started over a year ago. Two weeks to elections Okowa wants the government he has led for 8 years, to invest in the production of gas in the twilight of his departure. What has he being doing all this while, that he now suddenly realised there is money to be made in oil and gas, and needs a N20 Billion loan to make the investment?
His Delta North kit and kin should call him to order, since he listens to no one else. All that he has done in the last 8 years is drive a wedge between the Anioma people and those of Delta Central and South. The elections will hold, neither Okowa nor his candidate for governor, will scale through. Anioma should not complain when the in coming government reverses all his policies and deal with the same wicked hand he has used. The good Lord brought us together to be each other’s keeper. I don’t wish to go further than this, but those who can read between the lines should do so.
One man’s greed should not destroy the relationship we have built and maintained over the years. Okowa is just an individual, his self interest should not overshadow the common good. When a supposed friendly handshake extends beyond the elbow, it becomes a wrestling bout. Let Okowa not destroy the love and friendship we share. He has done enough already.
