Group blasts Ovie Omo-Agege over lies on establishment of University in Warri
Iteskiri group has blasted senator Omo-Agege for media and videos making around the space accusing Hon. Fred Martin that he refused to question governor Ifeanyi Okowa over non establishment of university in Warri.
This was seen a document signed by the president and secretary of the group on Friday.
The statement read
Our attention has been drawn to various lies in the socal media, print media and videos making around the space accusing Hon. Fred Martin that he refused to question governor Ifeanyi Okowa over non establishment of university in Warri Kingdom especially in Koko. And that he honorable Fred Martin is the reason Koko is without a university or polytechnic. We wouldn’t have come out to straighten the record if what the senator said have any atom of truth. But since we are convinced that all the Senator have said were lies we decided to question him in persons and also use the opportunity to straighten the record and let Itsekiri Nation know who is lying to them.
Senator Ovie Omo-Agege lied when he said Fred Martin was the reason there is no university in Koko and also that he never questioned the governor for not establishing school in Koko or Itsekiri land.
Is on record today that the governor never establish new schools but upgrade the already schools in the State to university. This the governor did by sending an executive bill to the house, Is on record that in 2021 when the bill was sent to the State Assembly, he Hon Fred Martin came out with few others to present a demand why Itsekiri Nation (land) should also be consider for a high institution, this he did by also working with some group of Itsekiri youth, such as Itsekiri liberation group, Delta State peace movement, Itsekiri youth for good governance and others to ensure that it is possible a campus of the university is sited in Koko or Omadino. We remembered then that even members of his party who came to Asaba can attest to this fact.
Secondly, is on record that he Hon Fred Martin engaged the governor by appealing to him to site one of the campus in Koko because this is the only opportunity for the Itsekiri Nation to have a high institution since he senator Ovie Omo-Agege has hijacked it by technically stopping the Koko polytechnic through the establishment of Orogun polytechnic, which he senator Ovie Omo-Agege hurrebly did knowing that the Koko polytechnic has already passed through the green chamber awaiting the Senate to also give it approval.
We want to conclude by saying that it is surprising to see a deputy senate president trying to create crises in the state he claim he want to govern. We thought the Senator is enlightened as he claim others are not, when last did he question the activities of president Buhari. He that must speak to Itsekiri Nation should ask himself question if what he is accusing others of he can do it. Even when governor under his party are questioning president Buhari over the failed money policy he rolled out that has brought Nigerians and Deltans more suffering. He has refused to say anything about that, we know him to be a man we termed ‘Judas’, like what he did in 2017 to 2019 when the Senate wanted to remove president Buhari over misrule, he senator Ovie Omo-Agege mobilize other senators to stop such move which would have been much benefitial to Nigerians today.
Itsekiri Nation will not vote a man who came to their land to cause crises between two brothers rather than canvassing for votes and telling Itsekiri why he hijacked the Koko polytechnic through the back door, he came to sell lies and exposed himself more to the Itsekiri Nation of the kind of person he his.
