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 Oshiomole 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”.
