Delta State Governor Rumoured To Be The Victim of That $10M Girlfriend Theft- But Special Adviser Says ''Rumour Holds No Water''

Delta State Government have distance itself from reports swirling that The Governor’s Mistress Stole $10M from Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, the Executive Governor of Delta State. Money that was given to the state as a bailout package for staff being owed salaries for months. 

Speaking through the state Commissioner For Information Patrick Ukah, said:

‘’On behalf of the government, stressed that there was no iota of truth in the story that it was Okowa who lost $10m to a girlfriend’’

A report on Saturday quoted sources in the EFCC that a serving governor in the South-South zone allegedly diverted $10m from the bailout for his state.

Several whistleblowers have stated that the Governor is actually the person involved in the political palaver. 

Ukah stated, “We are appalled by the attempt to link Governor Okowa with the story by online media. We find it ridiculously tasteless and mischievous. This can only be part of the unrelenting campaign of calumny and the ceaseless peddling of pernicious propaganda against the person and the office of the Delta State Governor.

“For the record, the state government has several times in the past given account of how the bailout the state got from the Federal Government was used. We will not repeat ourselves here.

“Governor Okowa is a responsible family man and a well respected public figure.

“His preoccupation has been and continues to be how to deliver on his promised S.M.A.R.T agenda to the good people of Delta State since he came to office. And he has received applause and commendations from far and near for being so focused and unrelenting in the pursuit of his vision for the state.”
