*Councilors Demand One Million Naira Grant Loan Okowa Promised, Says You Can’t Dump Us Because We Are No Longer Eligible Delegates*
It would be recalled that in the desperation to deliver Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa has promised Councilor a one million naira grant loan as incentives to ensure that they give his preferred candidate their sole support.
Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa later jettison the idea when the Electoral Act did not accommodate the Councilors as eligible delegates to participate in the party Primaries.
A Councilor who pleaded anonymous, said that he and his fellow councillors are not happy with the way and manner that the sitting governor has treated them. In a local tongue he said; please tell Okowa to bring councillors one million naira grant that he promised to give us before the Gubernatorial Primaries, he cannot abandon us because we are no longer voting.
Another Councilor who spoke in the same vein said, abeg tell Okowa to bring our million naira, tell am say councillors they vex he said.
