Okowa Gifts State Funds To Civil Servants To Vote PDP Guber Candidate – Soyombo

Nigerian investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo has stated that Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has started gifting Delta state funds to Delta civil servants so as to make them vote for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state, IGBERETV reports.

Soyombo shared a screenshot of a beneficiary’s bank alert on Twitter. He wrote;

“Ifeanyi Okowa, Governor of Delta State, has started transferring state funds to civil servants so they can vote for Sheriff Oborevwori, the PDP gov candidate, on Saturday.

Very unlikely it will translate to votes, as numerous civil servants have a political axe to grind.

“This is already evident in the result of the presidential election in Delta, where Atiku, despite his running mate Okowa hailing from the state, polled only 161,600 votes — far less than half of Peter Obi’s 341,866 votes.”
