Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has warned that any bank, lending institution, or credit union that lends or advances money to the administration of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, so close to the end of its tenure, does so at it’s own risk.
Okowa, who is also the running mate of the PDP’s presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, is in the final months of his eight year-reign as governor of the oil-rich state.
The warning was contained in a statement Omo-Agege personally approved “on behalf of the supporters of the APC and the generality of the people of Delta State.”
“It has come to the knowledge of the APC and the general public that the government of Delta state is yet again negotiating a loan facility for ₦40 billion,” read the statement.
