The
Delta State Government notes with great concern the statement credited to the
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, accusing Delta State Governor, Senator
Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, of deploying militants to Edo State to allegedly disrupt the
now postponed governorship election earlier slated for Saturday, 10th
September, 2016.
This allegation is baseless, unfounded, spurious and
tendentious. The latest outburst from Governor Oshiomhole is consistent with
his favourite pastime of heating up the polity with unguarded utterances and
wild allegations.
We vehemently reject this accusation as alarmist in conception,
reckless in delivery, puerile in content and false in facts and, so, fit only
for kindergarten's "tales by moonlight".
Governor Okowa is a peace loving Nigerian who has never and will
not engage in any activity inimical to law and order.
It needs to be reiterated that the exalted office of the
Governor is one that demands decorum and maturity. Therefore, those who are
privileged to occupy such offices need to exercise restraint in their public
conduct and utterances.
Governor Okowa has committed himself to raising the standard of
governance in all ramifications and, therefore, will not descend into “gutter
politics”.
Patrick Ukah
Commissioner of Information, Delta State.
