MEMBER of the All Progressive Congress APC, and Special Assistant to His Excellency, Deputy President of the Senate, Sen Ovie Omo-Agege on Special Duty, Hon. Ejogbamu Johnson Okoro, has accused Chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of making fabricated and untrue story against notable indigenes of Orhoakpor community, Ethiope East local government area of Delta state.
The APC Chieftain, Hon. Ejogbamu Okoro who was one time Community Chairman and President General of the community has alleged a popular business marchant and a hotelier and a former Ethiope East Council Chairman from Orhoakpor community as those behind the fueling and politicising the crises in the community that has claimed live and burning of house.
The crises started when Orhoakpor community recently conducted an election into various positions of the community but, it was learnt that the election later turned out to be violence, which led to the killing of one of the community members who until his death contested for the position of the President general, though failed according to sources.
Hon. Okoro who spoke to newsmen on phone from Abuja, lamented over the ungodly attitude of the PDP Chieftains in the community who had lied against the elected President General, Chief Isaac Edjorbeguo, his deputy, Mr. Stephen Ejovi, Ex President General, Engr. Dafe Avwovbo, Hon. Ejogbamu Okoro, Community Chairman, Oghenevwede Odi, Dr. Onofere Princewill and others as those behind the killing of the deceased, Mr. Tony Oren.
Speaking further, Okoro said, “On Thursday l received a call in my office that two group cult clashed during Orhoakpor community election and one of the members of the two cults who happened to be the leader of one of the groups, Mr. Tony Oren, was axed and while he was being rushed to the hospital, he gave up the ghost.
“The other cult group according to rumour they have even posted on Facebook that they are responsible for the killing of the deceased, late Tony Oren and that those
cult member had asked PDP Chieftains to stop pointing accusing finger on innocent people over what they know nothing about, rather turning the whole thing into politics.
“How could the elected President General of Orhoakpor community who went to the police station to report the incident of death, now become the accused and arrested and taken to Asaba, and also attacking the man who conducted the election as one of the accomplice to a crime he knows nothing about.
“It will be unfair to bring politics into the community election with the concept that if they don’t succeed, nobody will succeed all in the name of personal and selfish interest by the PDP Chieftains whom are keen on getting anything they wanted.”
