| Hon. Dumbiri Uweh |
An opportunist in the Person of Dumbiri Uweh cannot upset the apple cart because he knows that is in Sen Okowa is mightier than them. The allegations are serious but laughable as Uweh chose a wrong victim. A Daniel will come to judge soon as the law must take its cause. The wheel of justice grinds slowly but will surely get to destination.
All Uweh's allegations are blatant lies that cannot be substantiated.'' said Mr. Uzum the director of communication to senator Okowa. He further described as false the reports posted on the social media (Anioma Voice) and credited to a former commissioner in Delta State,Mr Dumbiri Uweh, accusing Senator Ifeanyi Okowa of allegedly collecting N185million on behalf of Hon. Uweh without remitting same to him. In the words of Barr Uzum, “ordinarily we are not supposed to react to the unwarranted provocation reported on the person of distinguished Senator Ifeanyi Okowa on the social media which was credited to Dumbiri Uweh, but we are of the school of thought that keeping the record straight is a prerogative we owe the entire public. First of all, let us look at the issues raised by Dumbiri Uweh, where he alleged that he contested and purportedly won an election and someone else's name was written. I think the first thing he should have done was to go to court. Justice is incorruptible and the last hope of the common man. For Uweh not to thread the part of justice is a dis-service to himself. He made the world to understand through his various publications that he negotiated and sold his alleged mandate by the people of Ika North East Local Government, but unfortunately he never won any election. No court of law has pronounced such and INEC has not made any pronouncement in that direction, so he is just an opportunist”.
Hon. Dunbiri Uweh was not available for comment and did not reply to any of our calls and smses.
“But its of our knowledge that Uweh is only dancing to the gallery and wants to drag the name of distinguished Senator Okowa to the mud in order to get cheap relevance. Senator Okowa is a man of peace, whatever he ventures into, he sees it to the end. I am using this medium to advise the people of Ika and Anioma in its entirety not to be used as an instrument of destabilization, especially ahead of 2015. Certain personalities of monumental insignificance are only looking for what will bring Okowa down (Pull Him Down). Unfortunately, Okowa is not a man that will be pulled down just like that. We are debunking all the allegations by Dumbiri Uweh that Senator Okowa facilitated the peace meeting of his post election case and defrauded him of N185m having collected N15m making it N200m.
“We are sounding out a signal that we the youths of Ika nation will not hesitate to invoke the hands of the law in making sure that the name of Senator Okowa is not dragged to the mud. We are putting the law enforcement agents on notice on the issue of character assassination. Okowa is known for peace, unity and tolerance. For Uweh to be alleging that he, Okowa defrauded him is a slap to Ika nation. We are calling on well meaning Ika people to advise the likes of Uweh and other persons who have decided to use cheap blackmail to pull down the name of Senator Okowa to have a rethink.“The marriage between Senator Okowa and Delta State Government house in 2015 has already been ordained by God.
No man can put asunder. Okowa's critics have no choice than to rally round and support him, for he is a man who has contributed much to his people, both at the local government and state levels. We are equally using this opportunity to call on Ika youths to stand by the truth. We are also using this forum to send a message to Uweh that issues are properly addressed in court not on the pages of newspaper Okowa agreed to mediate on Uweh's case for the interest of peace, fairness, equity and justice. Fortunately, the person Uweh contested election with is still alive.
Barr Uzum called on the press as well as social network providers to always verify facts before doing any publication so that they do not give cheap popularity to those he called undesirable elements in the society.
“Mr. Uweh and his cohorts would have treaded the part of honour by allowing sleeping dogs lie. We also call on the stakeholders in Ika politics to rally round Senator Okowa in 2015 governorship election because when a man has done so much for his people, we have no choice than to promote him." Meanwhile Deltans in diaspora condemns of calumny against senator Ifeanyi Okowa by Mr Dumbiri Uweh. Deltans in Diaspora has warned Mr Uweh and group against the campaign of calumny and blackmail against the person of Senator Okowa.
Speaking on behalf of Deltan in Diaspora Dr Phillip Ofume said a frivolous and baseless petition was written by Dumbiri Uweh which was published in several social blogs accusing the reputable senator of some kind of fraud.We advice that instead of resorting to blackmail and unwarranted heating of politics, the Court is still there for him to go and vent his grievances.
It is so sad that man's inhumanity to fellow man can extend to the form of using unnecessary, unwarranted and frivolous accusations to pull down others and mis-inform the general public; to distract the attention of a visionary leader to score cheap political goal.

| Senator Ifeanyi Okowa |
Wonders, they say, shall never cease and there's nothing new under the sun, whether a mischief or a reality. The evil that men do lives with them and beyond and that which goes around shall surely come around someday and somehow. The chance of information acceptability to the public is a sine-qua-non before information dissemination. Therefore, a wise person is expected to consider the tendency of a boomerang before taking a major step in life.
Hon. Dumbiri Uweh, a supposed political leader in Ika nation and beyond, a supposed mentor, a supposed adviser to many, a supposed counselor to mention but a few has suddenly declared, proved and exposed himself as not only unqualified, but also an opponent of these qualities. As published 22-08-2015 in Sahara reporters , Hon.
Dumbiri Uweh, a House of Assembly contestant in 2007 election in Ika North-East Local Government area of Delta state, Nigeria was said to have alleged that Distinguished Senator Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, Senator representing Delta North in the present National Assembly had defrauded (Uweh) to the tone of One Hundred and Eight five Million naira (#185,000,000) in a clandestine bribe deal of about Two Hundred Million naira (#200,000,000) at about November 2010.
Hon. Sam Obi, Member Representing Ika North-East Local Government Area in the present Delta State House of Assembly appeared to be in the centre of the storm. If Hon. Dumbiri Uweh had sworn to a court affidavit to corroborate the publication of the press as being true, his allegation should have been taken seriously. However, before he throws caution to the wind and put himself into a deeper quagmire, it is good to let Hon. Dumbiri Uweh know that a legally confirmed giver of bribe is as liable as a legally confirmed taker. A politician that is ignorant of this fact is not expected to be a leader and therefore remains unqualified for any political field of endeavour. Acceptability of allegation by public for purpose-accomplishment is another matter Hon. Uweh bridged protocols.
In all ramifications of political consideration, the allegation of Hon. Dumbiri Uweh has no bearing with the person of Senator (Dr) Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa. The Senator's achievements in youth and general empowerment, Infrastructural advancement and development, accommodation, supports, political fellowships, and encouragement to the needy and down-trodden to mention but a few speaks positive volumes for him. No one of Senator (Dr.) Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa can be ascribed a being fraudulent, not even since he got to the National Assembly.
The earlier Hon. Dumbiri Uweh goes for a re-think and amend his ways, the better it could be for him. Otherwise, if he continues with the perceived tricks, it could be declared a distraction to Ika Political peace and progress if its not already so. We are in a time that politics in Ika nation deserves a notable improvement in all conditions. No Ika politician is expected to pull down fellow politicians or being used by outsiders to divide us, not even by aspersions that cannot be proved. I conclude by saying that Hon. Dumbiri Uweh and other Ika politicians must not forget the golden precept, "He who must destroy another in order to succeed, must have destruction awaiting him at the post of his success".
