Apart from the towering and overwhelming influence of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa on the Sheriff Oborevwori administration, there are four people whose input into the Delta State administration are indispensable.
Checks by The Pond News revealed that the kitchen cabinet is made of Barrister Lynda Ochulor, Mr. Fred Sheriff Oborevwori Jnr, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori and Dr. Kingsley Emu.
If you are looking for contracts or appointments, these people are the passports to that goal.
Ochulor is the principal secretary to the governor.
She is the former clerk of the Delta State House Assembly when the governor was the speaker.
Our investigation revealed that most memoes sent to the governor are vetted by Ochulor.
The governor, according to our usual Government House source, takes the advice of the private secretary as the governor is aversed to reading volumes.
Ochulor is an Ijaw married to a sports journalist.
The second important person in the Kitchen cabinet is Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori.
Tobore Oborevwori, a thorough bred Urhobo lady is the founder of You Matter Foundation.
Our eagle reporter said that in Government House circles, she is called a gentle giant.
She is neither loud nor brash but wields a lot of influence over her husband behind the scene.
If you can get her ears, anything you want from the governor shall be given to you with light speed.
The third person in the cabal is the son of the governor, Mr Fred Sheriff Oborevwori Jnr.
Like every young man, he is full of life and brags on his position as the first son of Delta State.
Oborevwori Jnr is closed to his father and many Deltans have confessed to his generosity.
He is the typical Warri boy of ‘I chop, you chop’.
Meet him, your life is made as far as the present Delta State government is concerned.
Dr. Kingsley Emu is the highly visible member of the cabal because of his position of secretary to the state government.
A protege of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, apart from his position, his views are taken seriously by the governor as witnessed by the recent hammer that fell on the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
But Emu is highly impatient with lazy and dull people.
So, like Hadley Chase; ‘Want to stay alive’? You now know the keys that can unlock the doors and safe of government contracts and benefits.
