Executive Assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Communications, Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, JP, has described a self styled human rights activist, Mr Zik Gbemre, as a mere evil tool in the hand of a failed, criminal minded governorship aspirant in the state.
The EACGOV made the assertion in swift response to a misleading statement on Sunday, 14th March, wherein Gbemre goofed by saying that Okowa’s media and communication Aides should stop putting out the achievements of the Governor and government.
Oghenesivbe said the core duties of media, information and communication aides in any government or system, be it state or federal, is to clearly articulate government policies, programmes and achievements, pointing out that in the piece under reference wherein EACGOV Oghenesivbe specifically mentioned some of the projects executed by his boss the governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, was not disputed by Gbemre and his paymaster.
Okowa’s Chief Communication Strategist, fondly referred to as “The Pen Eagle” by his admirers across the world, said the gigantic Delta State Secretariat along Marian Babangida Way, Stephen Keshi International Airport along Nnebisi Road, the rebranded and concession Asaba International Airport and the construction of Technical Colleges across the 25 local government areas in the state, are visible for all to see, not deceptive and not falsehood but verified facts.
He lampooned Gbemre and his radical money miss road paymaster for shamelessly dodging salient facts about Okowa good governance; and to that extent put themselves out as frustrated core haters and detractors of the governor, noting that past series attacks on Okowa administration were sponsored by Gbemre’s boss, a controversial and crafty governorship aspirant, known for jealous attacks on former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori and top government officials in the state.
“Gbemre’s boss hates HE Ibori, who he said aborted his chance of becoming PDP governorship candidate some years ago, and also decided to attack Okowa administration over a misconception connected to his poor political mindset that the governor showed unverifiable signs of sponsoring his kinsman as next governor of Delta State in 2023, a fractured political permutation that is laughable.
“Gbemre’s poorly worded piece did not discredit the facts put out by Okowa’s EAC, and in the same token made nonsense of their efforts to fight the truth. Truth is constant, same way Okowa’s gigantic projects mentioned by Oghenesivbe, are verifiable facts, not praise singing.
“Chief Ibori was never power drunk as claimed by Gbemre and his frustrated governorship aspirant. HE Ibori is an influential political strategist, a mega force and reference point in state and national politics, notwithstanding the failed handiwork of evil cabal trying to paint him black, in the face of glaring sociopolitical emancipation of Deltans and good governance engineered by Chief Ibori during his eight years tenure as governor of Delta State.
“It is on record that Ibori, it was who championed the advocacy for Resource Control for oil producing States of the Niger Delta, and mobilized South-South Governors to challenge the federal government and the powerful Northern oligarchy which led to his travails and unjust victimization, but God kept him for us and will continue to sustain him.
“Gbemre and his radical and renowned trouble maker should bear in mind that governor Okowa and Ibori are brothers and political associates for life, which is why sponsored attacks will have no effects whatsoever on the their solid and indivisible partnership, creatively working together to make Delta prosperous and Stronger,” Oghenesivbe assured.
