Contrary to insinuations in some quartets, Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, is not averse to zoning of the state’s governorship position, Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Olisa Ifeajika, has said.

Ifeajika, who spoke with journalists, yesterday, at the Government House, Asaba, also refuted claims that Okowa came to power through zoning consensus, as being canvassed by some persons.

The CPS said Okowa had told Delta people that the Peoples Democratic Party would decide on the governorship issue at the right time, and thereafter, leave it to God to decide ultimately, as he could play the role of God.“That has been his position, so it is not true that the governor is opposed to power moving to Delta Central or any other senatorial district for that matter,” he added.

He insisted that there was no time in the history of the state that governorship primary election was conducted, as the exclusive preserve of any senatorial district. “For the primaries that brought Okowa to power in 2015, we are aware that aspirants from the Central and South senatorial districts participated, including a former minister, who has been saying that zoning brought Okowa to power.
