Governor Ifeanyi Okowa


 By Andy Adaigbe.

The Ika South Local Government Council Chairman, Hon. Fred Ofume has stated that the PDP Deputy National Chairman in the defunct Sheriff's faction, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, was like a father to him who contributed immensely in making him the Council Chairman of Ika South. The Ika South Council boss stated this in his office at Agbor, while briefing newsmen on his achievements in the past three years that he has been in office. He said,
 " Apart from God, the person who contributed immensely to my becoming the chairman of Ika South Local Government Council, is Hon. Dr. Cairo Ojougboh and we are still very cordial. God used him to bring me to political  limelight and of course Dr. Cairo expects me to keep the light shinning. How I keep the light shinning behoves on me as an adult. We are from the same village and as a matter of fact, he is my relation and he has been like a father to my family.
Immediately after the 2015 election, Dr. Cairo called me and Hon. Isaac Ulebor in the presence of mama (his mother) told us that henceforth we are governor Okowa's children that Senator Dr. A. I. Okowa is the leader of the party in the state and that we should  fuse into his political family. I also visited Government House with Dr. Cairo where we met my Governor Senator Dr. Okowa and told him that he Dr Cairo has handed us to him as his children. So my relationship with Dr. Cairo is very cordial. But as a politician now, I should understand my role as a student in Okowa's Political Institute".

Ofume also used the opportunity to commend the governor for his SMART agenda and urged all Detans to support the Okowa's administration.
