A female Non-governmental organisation in Delta State has reacted to the story of Governor Okowa’s acclaimed US based mistress who was alleged to have defrauded him of $10m of State bailout funds.
Speaking to Exclusively to PorscheClassy Media, the founder of the organisation, Elsie Ijorogu Reed, said ‘It is totally unacceptable that the commissioner for information would come out public to make more damaging comments while trying to launder the image of his boss’.
Below is the full statement by Elsie Halima Ijorogu-Reed:
I read with dismay how unprofessional and the inexperience shown by the Delta State Commissioner for Information in trying to launder his boss’s image through his press release.
The state’s image maker while trying to address the $10m Okowa gave to his US based mistress, spent time assuring deltans that his boss is a “happily” married man.
According to him “the State government has severally in the past given account of how the bailout fund” and “we would not repeat ourselves here”. Such an arrogant and ignorant statement came from from the office of the image maker of the Governor Deltans supposedly voted for.
According to the Commissioner, Deltans are more concerned about their governor having a mistress than why they have not received their salaries and why pensions have not been paid even when bailout and Paris club money was given to the state.
Does it mean Deltans do not have the right to know what happened to their money?
Now Mr commissioner hear me loud and clear, I speak for the sane and hungry deltans who are yet to receive their salaries. We need an account of how our money was spent.
Why have they not been paid Salaries?
Even the Bible states that “a labourer deserves his wages”. Denying workers their salaries is not only a violation of their right but a sin before God.
It is not OKAY to just tell us with mere words that Okowa is innocent. What we expect from an experienced media person is to give us verifiable facts and figures on how the said money was spent. Not the cock and bull story of how he is a “virgin” and a “faithful” husband.
Okowa being a “vigin and a faithful” husband will not put food on deltans table or pay their kids school fees?
