It is with a heavy heart that we write this letter to the leadership of our dear party which we have been loyal to for decades.
We sincerely appreciate the dogged contribution of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa in the emergence of the current Executive Governor of Delta State as the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and also his eventual emergence as the Executive Governor at the 2023 General Elections. This feat should have made Okowa to assume the status of an Elders Statesman in Delta State .
Ironically, this has not been the case since he handed over on May 29, 2023, as he has been carrying out clandestine activities to truncate and Jeopardise the activities of the current Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori. This was evident in the choice of Members of his Executive Council where he nominated almost everyone across the 25 Local Government Council of the State.
The Local Government Elections is here and he has imposed his cronies on not only the Executive Governor Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, but also the good people of Delta as it is normal that the Ruling Party in the State will eventually win all Local Government Areas in the forthcoming elections.
It is quite sad that he has turned himself into a Nebuchadnezzar of some sort simply because he feels entitled as the man who brought Sheriff Oborevwori into power but who brought him to power between 2015-2023 never did that to him.
Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, is one of the most selfish and ungrateful politician that has ever come out of Delta State, and the South South Region of Nigeria.
It will be recalled that prior to the 2023 General Elections, the South South PDP Governors met and agreed that the Presidency should be zoned to the South but he singlehandedly rubbished that resolution as their Chairman for his selfish political ambition to be the Vice-President to a Northern candidate.
This singular action of his polarized the PDP and eventually led to her losing key Party stakeholders to the opposition, which eventually led to the party losing the Presidential Elections.
We wish to put it on record that just as he is an ex-governor in Delta State from Delta North, there are Ex-Governors in both Delta Central and Delta South which makes all of them Leaders in their various Senatorial Zones. His interference in the selection of Chairmanship candidates from the three Senatorial District of Delta State is not only disrespectful, abnormal, and insulting to these Ex-Governors but also an affront on the collective will of the entire leadership and Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Delta South and Delta Central.
Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa actions has clearly demonstrated that the current Executive Governor of Delta State Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori does not just have a grip over the affairs of the Party as the leader, but is a puppet to him.
Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, we will advise you to focus on your plots on how to unseat Senator Ned Nwoko in 2027 which you have been holding meetings with different people than wasting your precious time trying to turn Delta State into your personal enterprise as this will be resisted with the last drop of our blood.
