THE SINS OF IFEANYI OKOWA AND WHY DELTANS NOW HATE HIM AND PDP


The return of democratic rule in 1999 ushered in the People's Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State, headed by His Excellency, Olorogun James Onanefe Ibori as its second democratically elected governor only behind Olorogun Senator Felix Ibru. It was he (ONANEFE), literally meaning, 'this is wealth' that shouldersed the People's Democratic Party, PDP in Delta to the limelight. He achieved this through dint of hardwork, commitment to service and effective transformation. He was not clannish. It was he (Ibori) who sited the three polytechnics (now two) across the three Senatorial Districts. It was Ibori who established the College of Education in Mosogar, amongst others.

The Urhobo ethnic nationality, being the largest in the State soon adopted him (Ibori) as their political Mowoe to the extent that they waited to hear from him in every political matter. Like Mowoe and Salubi, Ibori became the mouthpiece of Delta State politics and Nigeria at large. He was widely known beyond the state he governs. In the 1999 Governorship ranking, Nigeria's three most popular Governors were Ibori, Igbinedion and then Tinubu. Elected a youth Governor, he worked tirelessly to transform the state. However, he surely had lapses being a human but it does not change the fact that his goodwill and contribution to nation building should be eradicated or quick to forget.

With Ibori as the head, he opted for rotation of power among the three Senatorial Districts in Delta State. He ruled from the Central (Urhobo ethnic nationality) and then handed power to Emmanuel Uduaghan (South) and then the incumbent Ifeanyi Okowa (North). Ibori opted for this for equity and peace. He wanted the three State Regions to have equal share of power to avoid marginalization. This was the approach that favoured Okowa, a man from Owa, a town smaller than my village. Ibori suffered for the likes of Okowa to survive, insisted and stood for Okowa to emerge while serving jail terms in a faraway land in a crime he did not commit alone, despite Emmanuel Uduaghan's Tony Obuh's choice of candidate. This is how a colossus and patriot should act.

Interestingly, at the time Ibori returned to Nigeria after serving his jail terms Okowa was facing the most challenging time of his life. A large section of Urhobo people were agitating for Ogboru to truncate the second term bid of Okowa, which Ibori saw as contrary to the verbal agreement. At Ughelli township stadium, Ibori pleaded with the Urhobo ethnic nationality that Okowa be allowed to return for a second term and that he (Okowa) would peacefully handover power to a widely accepted Urhobo man to be collectively picked by Urhobo leaders and elders in line with party primaries. Okowa in his usual way nodded his cunny head to this plea and corroborated the elder statesman. While Ibori went with Okowa to every nook and cranny soliciting votes for the re-election of Okowa, little did he know he was supporting ungratefulness, a demon and devil.

Fast forward to the People's Democratic Party, PDP, primary elections in Delta State, Okowa whom Ibori had single-handedly lobbied to power suddenly forgot how God used Ibori to bring him to the limelight, he foolishly and ungratefully plotted Ibori's political defeat. Okowa planned this by first appointing over a thousand aides, many of whom are miscreants and yahoo yahoo boys. He ensured that he recruited unprofessional media boys and girls to ruin insults at his benefactor, believing he has the sole will to play God. However, while he must have temporarily succeeded, he must now be reminded that Ibori never dies in the hand of a boy he mentored to manhood. Ibori has proven this quietly by delivering his daughter with the People's Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta falling like amature political party to the six months old Labour Party under Peter Obi.

In the meantime, while the sins of Okowa are countless, below are the few highlighted ones that people of good conscience must not forget in a hurry:

1. Okowa single-handedly handpicked the People's Democratic Party, PDP, Candidate and picked the least Urhobo aspirant (Sheriff Oborevwori), where the likes of versatile and scholarly brains like Peter Mrakpor, SAN, Olorogun David Edevbie, Olorogun Fred Majemite and a few others with a view to ruling on proxy.

2. Okowa single-handedly borrowed billions to sponsor Atiku failed political ambition to jump his potential jail terms awaiting him in a few months time despite knowing it was the turn of the South.

3. Okowa intentionally neglected pensioners to languish in pains, adject poverty, lamentation and possibly die of hardship.

4. Okowa intentionally sited virtually every laudable project among the few he managed to establish in his 8 years of retrogressive reign in Owa-Alero.

5. Okowa intentionally fought Urhobo people by attempting to plot the fall of Ibori when he is not God.

6. Okowa intentionally wanted to reduce EDUCATION considering the worst brains he gave appointment and the party candidates he projected to cover his political mess, otherwise why will a supposed medical doctor declare support for the likes of Michael Diden, aka, Ejele and Sheriff Oborevwori?

7. Okowa intentionally stopped free WAEC enrolment in Delta State.

8. Okowa intentionally created internal war in UPU. He sponsored disunity and plotted his party men to his interest and this is why the UPU recently endorsed his prefer candidates.

9. Okowa intentionally increased school fees in our textiary institutions to deny our children quality education, considering the fact that he does not cherish scholarly brains.

10. Okowa intentionally wants Sheriff Oborevwori to succeed him because he sees him as the only one he can instruct at all times.

11. Okowa intentionally abandoned Warri township stadium, Sapele, Oghara and Ughell in favour of Asaba township stadium that he embezzled state money to temporarily construct with low materials.

12. Okowa hates to see the growth of Urhobo people and this is why he picks the worst brains in Urhoboland to work under him.

13. Under Okowa, the taxation increased despite the huge Revenue. Okowa's boys are holding irons and wood on Benin-Sapele road, Benin-Asaba, Ughelli and Asaba and other major roads fraudulently checking Driver's License

14. Okowa bears self-styled 'road master' in a state where there are no roads.

It's now official

So if I win 25% of the 36 states in the country and have majority vote but fail to have 25% of Abuja then I can't be the president of🇳🇬?
