Series of crooks. James IBORI did worst. I think Delta state in particular is cursed with MIND BOGGLING THIEVES AS GOVERNORS, who care less of the well being of the people

More chapters are coming through
soon

Uduaghan is the worst by miles bro. Ibori was just unlucky

In as much as I don't support any administrator stealing public fund, I also don't support partiality. This man should just shut his mouth. He is still pained that an anioma person from ika extraction was made governor of a delta state against all odds.
How much was stolen by ibori, and uduaghan? Did you raise a dust against them? Let us see what he will say the present governor stole after 4 or 8 years in office.
Oga is it Anioma or how badly governed Delta State has been since only God knows. Even in the Anioma axis of Delta, can you point visible developmental projects that befits the status of oil producing State? I don't like Clark because he has been one of the problems of Delta State since time immemorial, but we are talking about governance in Delta and their failures.

Not Surprised

Delta State is supposed to be far more developed than it is

Just look at Akwa Ibom
The problem with Delta state's lack of development is due to the fight against militancy. Their govt spend a large chunk of their money to fight militancy & provide security. Also, their govt spend a lot to clean up the effects of oil spillage.
because of that, they have very little money left to develop the state

Elder Statesmen, Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark is telling the truth.

Ex-governor, Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa stole a huge amount of the collective commonwealth of the good people of Delta state of Nigeria.

He emptied the coffers of Delta state on his personal business interest, dole out a huge portion of the money to support his Vice Presidential ambition in the recently concluded election.

EX-GOVERNOR OKOWA WAS THE "MONEY MACHINE" BEHIND THE ATIKU PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TEAM.

He supported Atiku who was "ASS BROKE" during the electioneering campaign.

DELTA CENTRAL AND DELTA SOUTH WERE GROSSLY MARGINALISED UNDER THE OKOWA ADMINISTRATION.

There was no development in the WARRI AREA.

It was only in the Okowa area in Delta north that is Agbor, Owa Alero ( his hometown ) and Asaba, the state capital that he managed to improved on infrastructure and development.

THERE ARE NO JOBS IN WARRI, THE SEAPORT REMAIN UNDERDEVELOPED.

LAGOS STATE DEVELOPED LEKKI SEAPORT BUT OKOWA COULD NOT DEVELOP THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWN WARRI PORT OR ESTABLISH HIS OWN STATE RUN PORTS.

That's the point chief. Just I said initially I don't support stealing public fund but he coming to accuse the other is not proper since he didn't do the same when others from his clime were on sit.

The allocation given to them is meagre, compared to their expenses in terms of security & control of environmental degradation due to massive oil spillage.
Their very high population is also another thing you have to factor in.
The allocation isn't enough to provide enough basic amenities for such a high population.
Remember that they also have to pay salaries to higher population of workers in the state.
Over the years, their govt has done a lot in order to manage what they are given

Your excuses are ridiculous, weak, and really shameful!

If you know how much these people have been looting from that state since 1999, you will go and beg God for forgiveness for lying and defending evil!

And they are even more developed than northern states, even with all these problems

cool my question is how Edwin Clark arrived at those figures
: Don't be surprised, person of Edwin Clark's status can have an insider with governor. There are people who are aggrieved by the former Governor and they can sell out some info. Also know the 13% oil producing communities' arrears paid by Buhari was well publicized.

Or, are you thinking that Chief Clark will make such statement without proof?

Baba go and rest... If to say Okowa give you money rehabilitate that your dead university you'll be singing differently.

How 1 person go embezzle 1.7 trillion, yet carried out some reasonable projects and at the same time improved the debt profile of the state by adding a meager 1% to the state's debts in 8yrs How?

The Convener, Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark, has accused former governor of Delta, Ifeanyi Okowa, of diverting over N1.7 trillion derivation fund meant for the state.

Mehn..

Delta state oil money!

Imagine what 1.7trillion would have solved in delta !

Later one clown would blame Europeans for our problems.

Imagine what only 30% of that money can achieve in Delta, we are our own worst enemy.

Sometime I think the black race is cursed.

You don’t really know Pa EK Clark. He literally monitored Ibori’s going to jail by leaking sensitive documents to Obasanjo and EFCC that saw his running away from Nigeria to Dubai. The man may be greedy but he has dossier on these former Governors.
