CLARK VS OKOWA: Delta Traditional Rulers Should Call Selves To Order - - By Zik Gbemre

 


What is the misunderstanding between Chief E.K. Clark and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and what manner of meddlesome interlopers are Delta state traditional rulers playing over this saga? 

The Delta traditional rulers should call themselves to order. E.K. Clark has alleged misuse and misappropriation of Delta public money by Okowa. What is needed by the traditional rulers is for them to ask Okowa and Sherriff Oborevwori to render accounts to Delta people. 

Sherriff was the Speaker that approved the loans for Okowa's administration. Clark doesn't have personal quarrels with Okowa and Co. Clark is asking for accountability which Okowa has refused to give. 

What are the heads of the DSS, EFCC, and ICPC waiting for before Okowa is arrested as Emefiele was arrested? Okowa turned Delta's treasury into his family's business. DSS and EFCC/ICPC shouldn't engage in the selective arrest of corrupt public officials. 

Agreed Emefiele is indicted. What about Okowa who floated Premium Trust Bank with fronts with Delta public money? Is Okowa above arrest? Delta traditional rulers should call themselves to order and join Chief Clark in demand for accountability by Okowa. 

The traditional rulers should rather commend Pa Clark for speaking out. As for Clark, he shouldn't yield to pressure to abandon his well-intended advocacy on Okowa to give account for Delta's treasury under his care for 8 years. 

Okowa is damn corrupt, who put his stooge, Sheriff Oborevwori to cover his loot. Clark should be commended for his fearless advocacy on this. 

Okowa ran Delta State as his private vault, never answerable to the people that supposedly elected him governor for those 8 years. And the Delta House of Assembly members/lawmakers have always been puppets of the sitting governor. 

He was above the law and used Delta State's money recklessly for his failed vice presidential ambition. He captured and conquered Delta State for himself. It is alleged and believed that judges appointed to hear/decide Delta governorship cases are turned billionaires, since 1999. 

It is equally believed and alleged that judges assigned to hear/decide pre-election matters of Delta governorship cases are made for life. 

Since 1999 Delta state's treasury has been committed to footing bills of Delta pre-election and election matters in favour of PDP ruling governors. Who do we blame? 

I blame James Ibori for starting this since 1999. ‘How ee come be now?' Ibori started all of this in 1999 but he didn't realise the consequences then. 

Why is EFCC, ICPC, and DSS silent on Okowa's alleged lootings of Delta's treasury. Okowa should pay for his sins.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
