The Executive Assistant to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Communication, Barrister Fred Oghenesivbe, has described the former Governor of Delta State, His Excellency Chief James Ibori as thel political leader of leaders in the state, irrespective of political parties, noting that in the same token Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State is the State leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with Barrister Kingsley Esiso as State Party Chairman.

“Ibori was the first person to endorse Okowa for second term. Chief Amori was at the Sapele rally which is a clear indication that there was no political debacle before, during and after the mega rally. 

“Furthermore, Chief James Ibori hosted Gov Okowa and Delta party leaders to a dinner at his Oghara Country Home immediately after the Sapele mega rally, same day before we returned to Asaba.” 

He insisted that experiences and intellectual capacity garnered over the years as former Secretary and Chairman of Ika North East LGA, as multiple Commissioner, as Delta SSG, Senator and now Governor made it easy for Okowa govern the state efficiently and excellently, describing his boss as a highly detribalised governor that believes in competence of individuals and organisations,a yardstick the smart governor adopted in political appointments and award of contracts.

“Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is a grassroots politician whose wealth of experience in politics and governance helped to efficiently and prudently manage the state financial resources irrespective of the current economic woes in the country.
