Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, reportedly
slumped over last Wednesday at the government house in Asaba.
According to an impeccable government house source, who pleaded
for anonymity, Mr. Okowa who was billed to attend the World Teachers Day
celebration at the cenotaph last Wednesday. However, after all preparations
were put in place, Mr. Okowa reportedly slumped over at his office
preventing his attendance.
Our source disclosed that immediately the governor was whisked
away from the office to an undisclosed place for medical attention and his
deputy, Kingsley Otuaro, was called to represent him at the event.
"I can tell you categorically that since
that Wednesday till today the governor has not attended any public function.
If you watch well, all the public functions, it’s the deputy that is
representing him. Though, we can't tell why he slumped and the illness he is
suffering from.
"Before becoming the state governor, he has been battling
with unknown health challenges. Even when he was in the senate, he was with
this unknown illness but some people close to him said what he is suffering
from could not be far from some blood related illness," our source stated.
All efforts to contact the State Commissioner for Information,
Patrick Ukah, proved abortive as his mobile line was switched off. However, the
Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to governor, Charles Aniagwu swiftly debunked the
story claiming it was not true.
