Popular group, The Delta Political Monitors, DPM has come out to say that some miscreants in the state are trying to distract Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

The group recently revealed this via a statement in a communique at the end of its meeting at the weekend, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to DPM, certain political elements in the state are deliberately to cause confusion under Okowa’s administration, but they will not disturb his good program in the state.

He added that Gov. Okowa never said that political power will remain in one senatorial district and will be rotated on the basis of ethnicity, and he was only quoted out of context.

His words, “Besides keenly following the reactions to the said statement, the Delta Political Monitors has been monitoring the Political temperature in the State pre and post the said statement and has come to the irresistible conclusion that certain political elements in the state are deliberately out to unnecessarily heat the polity and cause confusion in order to distract His Excellency from continuing with his good program in Delta State.”

“The Delta Political Monitors is sure footed in her belief that the governor was quoted out of context in respect of the contentious issue of rotation of political power amongst the three senatorial districts of Delta State. It is obvious from the statement of His Excellency, that what he meant is that there was no time the political class either in the PDP and or the opposition parties in Delta State met to formally reach a agreement that political power should shift from one senatorial district to the other, rather at the end of the eight year tenure of each Governor, the political class usually met to determine which senatorial district will take over on the basis of Justice, equity and fairness.”

“The Delta Political Monitors wish to state in categorical terms that His Excellency didn’t say political power will remain in one senatorial district and or that political power will be rotated on the basis of ethnicity. His emphasis in the said statement is that he was not God to determine who will be the next Governor of Delta State, meaning that he can’t as a person singlehandedly produce the next Governor.”

“What that meant is that in choosing which senatorial district to produce the next Governor shall not be determined by the whims and caprices of any individual or Group of persons.”

“The Delta Political Monitors appreciate the fact that His Excellency is a promise keeper hence he is fondly and widely referred to as “Ekwueme” and he is a man of strong integrity and honesty.”
