The Delta APC Governorship candidate and Deputy Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege has accused Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of being a traitor for betraying the people of Southern Nigeria by accepting the Vice-Presidential slot as against the Presidential position earlier zoned to the region.
Omo-Agege who made this blanket accusation during a ward to ward campaign in Ndokwa West council, lamented that this ignoble role played by Governor Okowa in the nation’s democratic theatre would forever remain a stigma with him.
Against this backdrop, he urged Deltans to vote PDP out of power as Okowa who made to betray the entire South, can do worse to Delta people.
At Utagba-Uno, while addressing the mammoth crowd of supporters, the APC Governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege lamented the ignoble role allegedly played by the State governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for trading away the position of the President for Southern Nigeria, and accepting the position of Vice president, adding that it amounted to a betrayal of greater magnitude than the Biblical Judas Iscariot.
According to Omo-Agege, the stigma of a betrayer and traitor will remain indellible with Okowa throughout his life time.
“Even, only yesterday, former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, asked Okowa, why are you being a traitor.
“Everybody has agreed that the Presidency must come to Southern Nigeria. Why do you want to trade away, the right, the privileges and the power of the Presidency that is given to us in the South, to the North? Okowa couldn’t provide an answer.
“Whenever I call him traitor, he will be angry. Why didn’t he get angry when Obasanjo called him traitor? E.K Clark, our leader in PANDEF had earlier called him a traitor, Gov. Wike of Rivers State looked Okowa in the eye and said, you are a traitor. He behaved like Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus Christ in the Bible. This name will remain with him all the days of his life”, Omo-Agege said.
The Ward-to-ward campaign train which visited all the ten wards in Ndokwa West yesterday, started with Abbi where the duo of Senator Omo-Agege and Osanebi encouraged the people to vote massively for the APC presidential candidate, National Assembly candidates, the Governorship candidate and House of Assembly Candidates in order to put a stop to the years of neglect and Under-development suffered by the people.
