Di image resemble table wey full with files and documents, wey dey symbolize investigation for Nigeria.
Asaba don turn hot zone for gist, as EFCC bin carry Delta State former governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, go dia office for di allegation say e use N1.3 trillion federal allocation for “side hustle.” Di wahala dey make pipo for Delta dey argue for bars, offices, and any kind gathering. Di tori sweet for mouth, but no sweet for ear.
Dem sey di EFCC tok say Okowa allegedly misplace di money wey Delta suppose take use chop belle full. Di money, dem claim, na wetin dem dey call 13 percent derivation fund. Dis na money wey Delta dey collect because of oil wey dey dia ground, but e be like say di money waka enter private venture.
For EFCC office, Okowa deny everything. Him tok say, “Na lie! Which person wan thief N1.3 trillion? Make dem calculate am; e no even make sense!” Di former governor calculate di money by himself: N16 to N20 billion every month for 96 months. E come ask, “Who wan thief dat kain money without sey him no faint?”
But di tori no end dia. Di anti-graft agency sey di matter no be only di N1.3 trillion. Dem accuse Okowa say e buy shares worth N40 billion for one bank. Dem sey di money na for one offshore LNG project, but di tori dey twist because di shares no appear for public books.
Hmmmmm, If dat one no do you, then hear dis one wey Dem still yarn sey di former governor acquire plenty estates for Abuja and Delta. Di mansions dey shine, but di money no reflect for state account. Delta pipo begin dey shout, “Na di mansion thief our bad road money o!”
As EFCC carry Okowa go, Delta state government bin dey try calm di storm. Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori tok for one corner sey di man still dey innocent until court sey otherwise. E urge Delta pipo to dey calm and pray for Okowa. Na so pipo begin dey pray, “Baba God, abeg o, make dis EFCC wahala no drag our name join!”
Meanwhile, di APC no gree. Delta APC chapter tok say, “We dey happy sey EFCC catch Okowa. Na sign say dis government no dey play with corruption.” Dem yarn sey di fight against bad behavior for public office no get favoritism.
Okowa sef no dey quiet. E yarn say di EFCC probe na “political jazz.” For him words, e sey, “Di thing wey dem dey do me no dey new for politics. But make dem yarn better gist; dis allegation no get head or tail.”
Delta State Traditional Rulers Council no gree fold hand. Di royal pipo visit Okowa for him Asaba mansion to show solidarity. Di Orodje of Okpe, Major-General Felix Mujakperuo (retd.), lead di group. As dem siddon, dem dey nod head like elder wey dey reason matter.
Di APC use dis chance fire more bullet. Dem label Okowa as “Borrow Borrow Governor” because dem sey e borrow so tey, Delta debt don climb mountain. Di roads wey e construct during him time sef, dem sey no fit last reach one rainy season.
Dis matter dey show say for dis our obodo Nigeria, power no dey last forever. Di wahala wey dey follow dis case dey show say nobody dey above law. But as di tori dey, pipo go always dey tok dia mind: “If Okowa innocent, wetin EFCC wan prove? And if e no dey innocent, wetin dem dey wait for?”
Delta state dey wait to see how dis case go end. Di hope of di pipo be say make di truth come out.
