As
political gladiators strategies on how to grab power in the 2015
governorship election in Delta State, the Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, representing
Delta North federal constituency in the red chambers has raised the alarm over
threat to his life.
He said some political opponents who were out to truncate his political ambition have concluded plans to eliminate him at all cost.
Okowa is
believed to be a major contender in the race to succeed Governor Emmanuel
Uduaghan in the 2015 gubernatorial race in Delta State.
Okowa,
while briefing the press yesterday in Asaba, the Delta State capital, said some
political foes have concluded plans to eliminate him , through
‘attacks and malicious allegations’, which he said “stems
from the fact that there is a governorship election in a few
months time” as they are stopping at nothing to stop him.
He therefore
called on President Goodluck Jonathan and the Inspector- General of Police ,
Mohammed Abubakar to offer him the necessary protection against those he
alleged were bent of getting rid of him.
Okowa is also asking the Delta State High court to give him the necessary protection, through writ of summons to restrain one Mr. John Agbo, of Alishime road , Agbor-obi, in Ika South local government area and his agents from further carrying out threat on his life and writing, printing, or circulating libellous materials against him.
Okowa who
is the immediate past Delta State SSG , alleged that
his detractors have employed series of campaigns of calumny, including
newspaper publication to spread falsehood against his personality in
order not to only ridicule him, but lower his
estimation in the eyes of the public.
Okowa who
spoke through his lawyer, Mr Peter Mrakpor , alleged that one of such antics
employed was his alleged involvement in the murder of one Arthur Agbe, a youth
in 2003 from Agbor , in Ika South local government area.
