As encomiums keep pouring in for Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, who recently clocked sixty, some critics say that there is nothing to cheer about. His followers and associates, however, describe the critics as mischievous.According to his admirers, beside his suave personality as a certified medical doctor, his sojourn in the murky waters of Nigerian politics and subsequent emergence as governor were beyond a stroke of luck.
“First, Okowa is a certified medical doctor. He attended different schools and came out in flying colours and practised as a professional. Next, he got married to his heartthrob, Dame Edith. The marriage is blessed with beautiful children, who are presently doing well”, he said. “His first political assignment was to serve as Secretary of Ika Local Government Council.

At the inception of the Fourth Republic in 1999, then-Governor James Ibori appointed him as Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources.
