It is shameful that UPU President General, Ese Gam Owe and his executives went to congratulate Ifeanyi Okowa in his Asaba home after securing bail from EFCC custody in Port-Harcourt.
So shameful that Okowa broke silence after his release on bail. The big question is what was Okowa’s financial status before 1999 when he was appointed by Chief James Ibori? Did Okowa inherit his ill-gotten wealth from his family’s estates? Okowa made his wealth from Delta’s treasury.
I challenge Okowa to tell Deltan people where his wealth was made from. UPU leadership under Ese Gam is an extension of PDP’s led administrations under Okowa and now Gov Oborevwori. Ese Gam’s achievement as PG UPU is to attend Urhobo social events in UK & US being sponsored by Delta state government.
Ese Gam and his UPU executive, shame on you. I pity you and your executives for you to render selves to be used to mock Urhobo nation. History will judge Ese Gam and his UPU executives to have visited Okowa that is under investigation for stealing from Delta’s treasury. “Shame no dey una eye”.
Won’t Ese Gam’s children and wife call him to order for disgracing Urhobo people with his visit to Okowa on 12th November 2024. For how long you and your supposed UPU executives will shortchange Urhobo people for a plate of rice.
How much were you and Executive given to embark on this disgraceful visit to Okowa to congratulate him for being released on bail by EFCC.
Who will develop Nigeria for us if Nigerians are not willing to develop their country. No foreigner will develop your country for us.
Few months ago Ese Gam and his UPU executives were being sponsored by Delta state government to attend Urhobo social events in UK and US, don’t you appreciate the development in UK and US you saw in these countries? Whatever bad seeds any leader sow he or she will reap.
Okowa’s defence on his arrest and bail is not relevant. Ese Gam should be called to order by his family. Very disgraceful.
As narrated by Michael Akpobome Egi, “Urhobo leadership have betrayed our collective interest and disgraced a revered Urhobo Progress Union (UPU), once the pride of all urhobos. How on earth can UPU show solidarity with a man who stole our money?
“How are the mighty falling, tell it not in Ughelli, Sapele or Warri, let not the children of our enemies rejoice. How low can our once powerful UPU go so low. I weep for my Urhobo people, our UPU like everything else in urhobo land has been bastardized.
“The sweat of our heroes, is now in vain. GBEMRE I apologize for the criticism of many of your not flattering articles you wrote against UPU. What is the way forward now for the Urhobo nation? Definitely these jokers do not represent the interest of Urhobo people, Michael Egi concluded.”
Are UPU America and UPU UK members not ashamed that they paraded Ese Gam’s led UPU leadership to attend their Urhobo social events in US and UK recently. Ese Gam is a disgrace to Urhobo nation for paying solidarity call to Okowa for turning Warri,Sapele,Ughelli & Effurun to villages.
Can UPU ever recover from this disgraceful act? Those UPU executives under Ese Gam who praised and commended Okowa in his house in Asaba for looting Delta’s treasury will see the wrath of God.
May the ghosts of Omorohwovo Okoro, Thomas Erukeme, Mukoro Mowoe, John Okpodu,Thompson Adogbeji Salubi and other Urhobo ancestors who founded UPU strike down these Urhobo betrayers
They mock Urhobo heroes past in their graves by destroying the unity of Urhobo for tips being given to them by enemies of Urhobo to betray Urhobo unity and progress for a plate of porridge.
