Ezekiel lambast Omo-Agege, Oluremi over Tinubu's Disregard for Delta Monarchs
Warri _____ The Senior Special Assistant to the governor of Delta State on Security Matters, Comrade Daniel Pere Ezekiel, has lambasted the Deputy Senate President and the APC Gubernatorial Candidate for 2023 Delta State Governorship elections, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege as well as Sen. Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu over the nonchalant attitude of the All Progressive Congress, APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu's deliberate disregard for traditional institutions in Warri during his recent campaign visit to Delta State on Saturday.
This was made known in a statement released on Monday in Warri signed by himself and made available to news men.
The statement which was titled: “Bola Tinubu Flagrant Disrespect for Delta State Traditional Institution is Highly Condemnable” said, the action of Tinubu showed he wasn’t fit to rule Nigeria.
According to Ezekiel, Nigerians had rejected Tinubu before his poor campaigns in Warri, Delta state on Saturday, adding that Tinubu’s speech at the Warri campaign was a clear indication of a fall in standard of reasoning, may be as a result of old age.
The Okowa’s aide said no responsible and serious presidential candidate would ever snub traditional institutions in Warri during a campaign visit as was done by Bola Tinubu.
The statement reads: “It is not a secret the sacred place of kings in any African society. It is on this basis they are accorded with maximum regard, taking into account their unifying and peaceful roles in moulding the views of citizens for the over well-being of society.
“Nigeria as a Nation is not left out in exaltation and respect for Royal fathers, which dated back to the pre-colonial era.
Bola Tinubu, APC presidential candidate threw this universal recognition into dustbins. Arrogantly and disdainfully he shunned all traditional rulers in Delta when he came for the campaign on,19/11/2022 at Warri Township stadium.
Could Bola Tinubu have tried this in the North or his region, South West?
“Tinubu should apologize to my boss, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa. The APC candidate visited monarchs in the North and South Western parts, his first ports of call were palaces of Emirs and Obas gave him their royal blessings. But it is shameful that Bola Tinubu could come into Warri, dropped at Osubi airport, and refused to pay homage to Orodje of Okpe kingdom, host to the airport, HRM Orhue 1 major Gen ( Rtd), Felix Mujakperuo.
As if this affront was not enough, he came into Warri city where Olu, HRM, Ogiame Atuwatse ll, Utieyinoritsetsola Emiko holds sway to campaign without letting the highly respected king know that he visited his domain.
“This misnomer is another plus to the catalogue of woeful and disgraceful records of APC since its kick-off campaigns, which l called renewed hopelessness.
“The persons that l blamed in this show of shame is senator Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, an Itsekiri woman who failed to call her husband to attend to the need for him to visit the Royal fathers. Again, I blame Omo-Agege for the blunder. Rather, all they were after is how to turn Delta State into another Lagos where only one man holds the jugular of the commonwealth of millions of people to himself.
“Though, it does not come to me as a surprise because Tinubu has made it known that Emilokan, i.e, it is his turn and right, either you vote for him or not to be president come next year.
Though it is so clear that he does not stand a chance against Atiku Abubakar, I must use this medium to advise Bola Tinubu to step down from this race because day by day, his health keeps deteriorating, the reason he could pray for PDP at the flag off his party campaign in Jos, Plateau state few days ago. Deltans needs an apology from the ruling party and his candidate for this monumental disrespect for the state traditional institutions, the statement added.
