Immediate past Commissioner for Information in Delta State, Mr Charles Aniagwu has said that the allegations by elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, against former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa were at variance with the reality in the state.
Aniagwu noted that Chief Clark was being used to settle political scores by those who lost out in the governorship contest of the state.
He said that Chief Clark had not been to Delta for a long time, and those telling him (Clark) stories about Okowa’s administration were doing so for political reasons.
Speaking on TVC, on Monday, Aniagwu said that Chief Clark and some other leaders had a different candidate in the state governorship election but were defeated because of Governor Okowa’s performance and the credibility of the current Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori.
Aniagwu said: “In the run-down to the general elections, the elder statesman and some other persons had their own candidate, and for us in Delta, we subjected the gubernatorial contest to the crucibles of democratic process.
