Dr Fred Latimore Ighenesibve, the Executive Assistant Communication to governor Okowa of Delta State has advised his Principal to beware of the the Ides of March.


The Senior governor Aide shared this View with the governor on Thursday at Asaba concerning  unfolding events in the state which  borders on the Governorship slot  come 2023.


 

 Dr Fred Latimore the EAC  held a strong view   that  detractors of the governor of Delta State, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, have commenced coded attacks to weaken his political structure and make him emotionally and politically unstable from now till May 29, 2023.


 According to him, the attack groups are within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the main opposition, the All Progressives Congress, APC. The two groups have one single agenda; to rubbish Okowa’s achievements and combine efforts to ensure that the incumbent governor does not play any major role in the process that will produce the next PDP governor, come 2023.


The APC group he explained, will do all the attacks and distractions while the PDP group is to betray the governor and pull the carpet from under his feet at the last minute. And if they fail to produce the party’s candidate at the party primaries in 2022, an alliance will be formed with APC to deliver her candidate, just to prove to Okowa that the musketeers can make and unmake.



 

 He emphaphaszed in his statement that the  battle will be fierce because Okowa’s detractors will stop at nothing to make him bow to their pressure either through option A or B; whichever way, there shall be acute deception via deep conspiracy within PDP or unholy alliance with APC to break his political backbone and destabilize his political structure.


 However, Dr Fred Latimore Ighenesibve the governor Aide who expressed optimism in the political sagacity of Governor Okowa said :  "lt  is obvious that Governor Okowa will play good politics by ensuring that power shift  to Delta Central, but his detractors within the party will not take kindly to any attempt to go against the caucus crown prince, to emerge as  the party candidate, the choice of the reformed musketeers. "


 Speaking further, he asserted: "The Crown Prince of the cabal is known within and outside the caucus, but the battle line will be fully drawn if Okowa does not accept the crown prince; described by political gladiators as a proud, tight fisted and sometimes unnecessarily sarcastic and arrogant individual who knows virtually all the deep things in the system from 1999 till date."



 

 Continuing he posited : " Findings revealed that the crown prince will be difficult to market and deliver politically because of his poor antecedents as a selfish individual who does not care about the feelings and yearnings of the ordinary Deltan. He will do anything and everything to pay full allegiance to his godfather and possibly return Delta State, to the dark years of reckless management of state resources."


 The governor Aide argued that it follows that governor Okowa will have to activate his political antenna, and ensure that the avionics and the instrument landing systems, ILS, are in top shape should he decide to go against the crown prince. Reason is that the level of betrayal within the party will be very high, such that it will take  proper angelic spiritual foresight to separate the genuine loyalists from the traitors.


 He maintained that at the APC level, some PDP spies will work with the opposition, gather credible information from Okowa’s team and work ahead to ensure that the Crown Prince emerges as the party’s candidate. And if the Okowa’s team is able to dislodge the traitors, there shall be a mega alliance with APC to disconnect Okowa at the polls.


 

Latimore on a conclusive note said : " Therefore, Okowa’s team must of necessity work out smart strategies to pin down black angels within the system to prevent them from hatching their deadly plans to make Okowa politically impotent during and after 2023 governorship politics.


The scenario may undo the losers, for at least eight years, before the system will redefine a new era of leadership and power sharing in Delta State.


Okowa, beware of the Ides of March, to avoid “et tu, Brute?”he concluded.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
