Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has cautioned the new National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to exercise restraint in his utterances as they were capable of heating up the polity.

Reacting to alleged remarks by the new APC helmsman that his emergence marked the annihilation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC take-over of Delta State in 2019, Governor Okowa charged the former Edo State governor to be mindful of his political utterances.

Senator Okowa charged politicians to be cautious in the choice of words and be decent in their approach to issues as activities towards the 2019 general elections commence.

Okowa, who reacted to questions from journalists at the second 2018 media interaction stated that Nigerians should not be divided because of politics.

“I believe that Comrade Oshiomhole is playing politics just as Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has a right to play politics as well as any other political party. The only advice I have for all politicians both in PDP and APC is that there must be decorum.

"We must be cautious in the language that we use as they should be decent and I believe that what politicians need to do is to address issues and when issues are addressed the people will make their choice.

"As politicians wherever you are, try to be civil in your approach to politics because that is the way it ought to be,” the governor said.

On the visit of a PDP presidential aspirant and former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on a consultation visit to Delta State, Governor Okowa said: “If you followed us properly when he (Alhaji Abubakar) addressed Deltans, it was obvious that he made a lot of statements which did interest our people and he did say that he is a friend of the state and if his programmes as he says continues to interest the people, I will not be able to hold back the hands of the people.

“I am not going to force any Deltan to vote the way I think; Deltans who will be delegates in the convention will be allowed to exercise their discretion to vote. I am not the kind of person who insists on how a person should vote.

"So, if on his programmes he talked about restructuring and the people are excited and they want to follow him, they have that right. So I made my statement and it was clear and cautious and when Sule Lamido came, he spoke so well and he is also a man I respect. He also has his followers in the state. He was well received and I made my comments. So it is my hope that all the presidential aspirants in the PDP will start to talk with each other because not all of them will get into the final stage,” he stated.

He continued: “As I spoke when Alhaji Abubakar came, I was very cautious and that is because, I do not want as a governor to say that this is the man I am supporting, I do not want to directly support any candidate and people will be given the room to make their choice. The will of the people will be allowed to prevail and not my will.”

In as much as i hate apc... i thinl delta state needs to have another party at the helms of affaits. Thts one pdp failure tht cant be overlooked. Their fellow pdp states in rivers, akwaibom, crossrivers are doing much better. Tho to be fair that state is 3 states in one but.....theres money there. The ppl arent industrious if not for the igbos there itd have been another bayelsa. My opinions tho.

Oshiomole should be more concern with the internal issues in his party...

No mind that loquacious Adams

true yan

him go cook d polity sef!
bubu is in control.

Lol.. if Apc mistakenly wins delta, in less than 1 week, 90% of PDP will switch.. Such is the politics in DT.

By the way, that ur opinion get as e be.. Haba!

In a saner society, Oshiomole will be cooling of in jail by now.

Instead, he's playing the saint card

Oshiomole is a cunny politician so every core political guru know him very well,he wears black in the afternoon and wears white in the night,gov okowa don't bother about oshiomole's ranting,all na wash.

Osho BABA my man, ride on but you need to go and sympathize with the people of PLATEAU and BENUE STATES.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. . . . Case in study: Oshiomole!

Dude's been going off tangent ever since he became chairman of APC worreva!

He was crowned the National Chairman of APC just for him to be heating up the polity.
He's not smart, neither is he brilliant, he's just a taut that was opportune to lead Labour Union, from there the rest become history.

He makes too much noise for my liking. Effcc should visit him also.. he who comes for..... Mus come with a clean hand

Utterances do not heat up the polity as action does.
PDP told us years back that they would rule for 60 yrs.
Is that not an unguided utterance?
Oshio is free to say what is convenient but the clamour is for the restructuring of this faulty structure 9ja is standing on.

I told you before that FFK and Reno will found their match in Oshomhole, now the battle has already begun, before the gloves are even worn. Nigerian politics is a no-hold barred u and i know this.

the kworupt shortman devil will not listen.
