Niger Delta chieftain, Chief Edwin Clark has accused Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State/ vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), of betrayal.
Clark also told the governor to step down as running mate to the PDP presidential candidate Abubakar Atiku and apologise to his colleagues and Ssouthern Nigeria.
He said: “I can therefore understand why you have deliberately and immorally betrayed your colleagues of Southern Nigeria and the people for your own selfish ambition by wanting to land on a safer ground by accepting to serve as running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
“No, by God’s grace your prayer will not be answered. Perhaps, you have forgotten the gravity of the offence you have committed against the people of Southern Nigeria.”
Clark asked Okowa to account for the N250 billion 13 per cent derivation fund he received, adding that the Governor used the money to develop his village at the expense of the oil communities.
