The Governor Delta
State, Ifeanyi Okowa has stated that the recent visit of Governor Aminu
Tambuwal of Sokoto State and his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike, to the
state has no political undertone.
Tambuwal and Wike were
in Delta State last week for the inaugural youths empowerment entrepreneurship
exhibition under the state government’s Skills Training and Entrepreneurship
Programme and Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurship Programme, and the opening of
roads in Asaba.
Addressing journalists
on Monday at the fourth quarterly interactive meeting with journalists in
Asaba, Okowa said there was no iota of truth that the visit had political
colouration.
Okowa described
Tambuwal, an APC governor, as his close friend, adding that he was in the state
to witness the achievement his administration had recorded in the area of youth
entrepreneurship in the state.
He stated, “There’s no
political undertone to the visit of governors Tambuwal and Wike to Asaba last
week. I have read all manner of headlines as regard the visit.
“This is the third time
Tambuwal will be visiting the state.
“He (Tambuwal) was here
during my daughter ’s wedding. He visited again during the state ’s economic
summit.
“He has been my close
friend. If I had any reason to hold political meeting with him, it could have
been held over there in Abuja.
“He has promised to
send representatives to study our YAGEP and STEP’s programmes.”
