Director general, Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr Fred Latimore, has said Delta state Governor Hon Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, are not at loggerheads.
In a radio interview on Tuesday, he debunked that the two leaders are fighting over specific unresolved issues, saying they are inseparable leaders and that no amount of propaganda and political craftiness of detractors can separate them.
While saying Senator Okowa does not plant his men around Governor Oborevwori, he advised the general public not to be received, assuring that nothing wrong shall come between the two pragmatic leaders whose common interest is to deliver substantial dividends of democracy to the people.
Latimore pointed out that those appointed by the governor after assuming office were the same people who worked tirelessly during the governorship electioneering campaigns in 2023, describing them as competent individuals.
The Bureau Chief further stated that several political appointees recently resigned across the board for different reasons, either to contest election or for other personal ambition, noting that resignation or systematic disengagement by an individual does not signify misunderstanding or bad blood within the system as wrongly alleged in the misleading online publication.
“We woke up this beautiful morning to read another sponsored and misleading publication, wherein it was mischievously alleged that Governor Oborevwori and his predecessor, Senator Okowa, are in a cold war over nonexistent issues.
“Deltans know better because these consistent streams of falsehood and targeted media attacks on the two leaders had been linked to detractor’s political permutations for the 2027 governorship election in the state.
“They will continue to misfire, grumble and remain confused, while Governor Oborevwori and Senator Okowa will continue to enjoy their ever-robust and healthy relationship as deep-rooted political associates“, Latimore stated.
