Okowa Blasts Oshiomhole Over Comments

Ahead of the forthcoming
Edo State Governorship election, the Delta State Government, has lambasted the Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomhole for making inciting and undemocratic allegations against the duo of Governors Ifeanyi Okowa and Nyesom Nwike of Delta and Rivers Sates respectively.
A statement signed by the Delta state Commissioner of Information, Mr. Patrick Ukah and made available to The Tide newspapers in Asaba, reads: Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, accusing Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa of deploying militants in Edo state to disrupt the now postponed governorship election earlier slated for Saturday, 10 September, 2016.
Ordinarily, we are weary of joining issues with, not just a next door neighbor governor, but also of a state which together with Delta, has shared such a long and enviable social, political and economic history from the old days Mid-West region to that of the now defunct Bendel State.
However, it has become necessary to, if only for once, let the public know that it has assumed a pattern for Governor Oshiomhole to embark on unprovoked attack and utterly undeserved potshots on Governor Okowa, who has never deemed it necessary to respond to such un-gubernatorial tantrums.  We make bold to say that this is an unwholesome and unrewarding trajectory to embark upon.
In the present instance, 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”.
