Okowa fears losing power, crude oil, and gas if Delta State is divided.Added:
Same Delta state Indoqua people they don't celebrate 16 years of no light a community for Delta they celebrate 16 going to 20 years of no light in order to do festival which culture get where they give now politicians and leaders be say former governor they go accuse them of stealing more than how many billion up to a trillion now which culture they provide all of those ones Nigeria culture where be say you not help anybody our own culture protects criminals and then victimizes innocent citizens. Imagine say for Nigeria we get culture say anywhere they see politicians where don't thief money may they sentence them to death and kill them. Imagine that kind of culture. But we know our own the culture rather protects thieves and criminals. In fact some of the people who be traditional leaders when supposed to even be the custodian of cultures they are also criminals. And we go they call culture now our culture now. I take beg to do join people now kidnapper they carry people from almost every part of the state what we have been seeing in this delta state for so long other people from other states are saying that same thing you go that the EFCC are accused of stealing 1.3 trillion naira is still the one contesting for election ction.
Nigeria as a country is a failure.
Nigeria is a total failure. In China, corrupt politicians are killed. In Japan, they kill themselves.
In the US, they are jailed.
But in Nigeria, they will come out for election.
In Nigeria, the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary are all corrupt. This is the reason why Nigeria is not moving forward.
If Nigeria is a country that is functional, Oko are not supposed they contest for election. He supposed they jail by now. Okcoa's case is still in the EFCC.
Oka cannot leave Nigeria. His international passport is in the office of the EFCC. EFCC collect him international passport. Say make he not fly for Nigeria, make you not go hide.
So his case is still on the alleged 1.3 trillion NRA that Oko stole. He want to use the money to campaign for vice presidency under Artu that article one go for presidency. OGOA run for vice presidency under Atiku in Nigeria. To be a president or vice president, you need money to push yourself to that level. And that money is money that you will use to bribe the judiciary, to bribe this, to bribe that and so on. You got home money where to bribe in neck chairman. Those ones they give those ones like 2 billion, 5 billion, 10 billion.
Other big politicians also where you want me to support you, you got give them billions for them to back you up.
Voters, you got give voters money for them to vote for you. So Nigeria is a very corrupt country and that is why politicians are stealing money in order to occupy position and in order to occupy position you have to pay some people give them money give them bribe for them to allow you be in that position that you are seeking for now why you go and steal that 1.3 trillion naira. He talked about corrupt traditional rulers.
He said traditional rulers are the custodian of culture. But what we are seeing today some traditional rulers are just called traditional rulers but they are not supposed to be called traditional rulers.
Some traditional rulers are supporting then they say oka still 1.3 trillion naira. Some traditional rulers in this land are supporting OKA. Not say they support Oka they bea boys.
If Oka tell them sit down here they will sit down for there and that is because they not know themselves.
The communities where those traditional rulers come from their own don't finish.
If they buy king who be this is the reason why kingship is a very bad system of government because if the king of community sell out they don't sell on that why are they fighting they are fighting because senator wants to create state and zone it to the southeast but because the boss of those traditional ruler said that he don't want state to join the Southeast as a means to protect his structure that he have created in Delta state as a means to remain the godfather of Delta states. Those traditional rulers where they worship OKA all of them say they know what make state joint sis say they want they follow Oka because if they support the creation of state to the Oka they give them money are those traditional rulers supposed to be called traditional rulers. No there not be traditional rulers I pity the communities where all those traditional rulers they represent.
So the fight whether they fight senator today now because of say he want make state join southeast they fight because senator no one be a boy to oka you know they bow down to oka so oka felt offended now why anything oka they fight alla they say they don't want to make state join this artist ask them to tell you the reason why they don't want state to join the sist talk. If the reason why those make state join sist say they feel say insecurity they for sistel insecurity now something where be say we need to come together and fight it. What is the way forward to put an end to insecurity? Mind you, insecurity they all over the country not just the southeast. Sh people they keep for southwest for your states statement everywhere killing people in Guara state everywhere in Yaribland.
They are killing people there. They are killing people in northern Nigeria.
They are killing people in the middle belt. They are killing people here in the SOUTH SOUTH. SO WHY are those traditional saying that the sist is not peaceful? this that this that that one are just excuse where they want used to they fight and state creation they just use them as excuse they back OK and their boss up there is a solution to every reason that those traditional rulers are bringing out saying that this is the reason why they don't want state to join the artist there is a solution to all those reasons but they don't want to provide solution to those their reasons because their boss no want to make state join southeast if state join southeast food come up for mouth and food go also come up for the mouth of those traditional rulers in upper local system once the community talk say we want join southeast now that's where community talk but kings talk say them get the committee not the committee get them if We don't want light for this community.
Make government carry their light. The whole commission speak with one voice.
Tell them we need light. They say they don't need light. Government say we not want light. Our people say they don't want light. They in darkness that is local system of government. But kings own community say we don't want they kill us. Hey the community people pursue come from their community. Months later you go see full person carry car they walk around the community.
If they come stop say who car this community go say their king get cow. If the people go meet their king tell say king we meet people for abush. We tell say who get true king say get cow.
That is to tell you that some kings are just bad evil. Now those kind of kings they follow. So men they kill their people their people not want cow again they still get cow carry cow give person they round their community you go see carry like different car one person that bush the other one who get the car say give to the refer some get cow but they tell OB say you get cow so that your community people vest they attack my people.
This the why they tell you so they happen for this and land. We hear this every day. We hear it with our ears. We see with our eyes they call but they are the major problem of their community. So many kings are evil and those kind of kings now all these evil politicians they work with communities where get to be if they tell you what they will be they do them you go you go pity for them.
Come and land go ask people where get to be for their committee. Make their people tell you what they will be they do them. THAT IS WHY ALL the traditional rulers cannot call to order and that is because OKA they give them money. A traditional ruler is supposed to be an independent person. A traditional ruler is an institution owned by his community. You are there to represent your people. But this one not be represent. They talk about their own way they follow.
If you go away still 1.3 trillion naira do you know what is 1.3 trillion people they complain we don't get we don't get you even see some people they support I don't know what for the brain of some people some people brain know just the function 1.3 trillion now you campaign for now you vote for say says you wok money he still trillion thousand Ned wok not get any bad record of stealing yet they fight make it go back to see it when they campaign they vote for 1.3 TRILLION NAIRA MAD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE EVERYWHERE FOR NIGERIAN MAD people why they backward where say some of our people for take their brain reason problem if you see where some people they defend Oka say Oka don't build skyscraper everywhere for land was the senator of Delta not for 4 years he not give people light he was the governor of Delta state for 8 years he not give people light now they want go back to the senate why just because he wants to move senator senator want create so wants to stop that move because if we get state artist the structure don't build the he got for that reason why he don't build for state go scatter that is what oka is protecting oka is not coming back to build land oka is not coming back to make land great oka is here to protect his interest not the interest of wean people not the interest of people not the interest of Oshimi and people is corrupt those from land that are also corrupt are there following Oka they don't know say the good where people do go they follow them the bad where people do go also they follow them history will forever remember as a hero as someone that worked hard to see that any state is being created as they the write Dennis name for history book they call Dennis name even as she don't die since they still recognize Dennis as a hero don't enter that PLACE SO ANYBODY say that they do all the traditional when they fight z they don't say their name don't enter book as traditional that don't want the betterment OF PEOPLE WHETHER YOU traditional and if like it or not senior is better than you all.
