Senator (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa’s Information Commissioner, Mr. Patrick Ukah is yet to recover from a media punch of N25 million he allegedly paid to Senator (Barr) Peter Nwaoboshi, the Senator representing Delta North in the National Assembly (NASS) in order to get the commissioner’s appointment.
Loading ...It was alleged that in order for Nwoaboshi to illegally acquire lands for himself as he used to do, it was the Ministry of Lands, Survey and Urban Development that Nwoaboshi badly lobbied for Ukah with the alleged N25 million payment but met brick ways when a different ministry was allotted to his political son.
Senator Nwoaboshi is allegedly known to use his boys and dumping them when the weather is fair as it was gathered that a former transition council chairman, Innocent Esewise was used to milk Oshimili North dry by the senator.
It was reliably learnt that the hectares of land on which the Delta North Senator presently built his mansion in Ibusa, does not include the area covered with water but he allegedly used his ill-gotten wealth to intimidate the owners of the land.
It was gathered that Nwoaboshi promised to give Esewise the house of Assembly slot but hoodwinked him and later promised him commissionership but he (the former chairman) as a result of bankruptcy, couldn’t afford the money after the council boss allegedly robbed the council to purchase Nwoaboshi’s ever first Range Rover Jeep.
Ukah’s political mentor is allegedly known for giving with his left hand while he uses the right to take more than he gave.
Meanwhile, a media chat ended in bad note when a journalist asked Ukah to clear the air on the N25 million allegation.
