ARREST OF OKOWA NOTHING STRANGE-Zik Gbemre

Admin

By Zik Gbemre     It is long over due that former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa be questioned to account for his reckless pillage of Delta state treasury.   However, with remote controlled EFCC, arresting Okowa is one thing and prosecuting him with the appropriate charges in the law court is another.   Okowa’s atrocities are numerous.

Shortly after his failed bid to be Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria despite his claim to political invincibility of never losing elections, it dawned…
