Ifeanyi Okowa, the former Governor of Delta State, revealed that he is aware of the individuals behind the investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during a visit from the Delta State Traditional Rulers Council.
Despite being probed for an alleged diversion of N1.3 trillion, Okowa asserted that he is unafraid and views the accusations as politically motivated and malicious.
He emphasized that he welcomes the investigation and has no intention of obstructing the EFCC’s efforts.
“In politics, there are many things one must face, but it’s unfortunate when baseless accusations are presented to the media.
“To claim that someone could misappropriate such an amount implies that they would need to take N16 to N20 billion monthly for 96 months.
“This is not just unreasonable; it’s a deliberate attempt to mislead.
“I am not afraid of any investigation and will not stop the EFCC from carrying out its duties. Unlike others who seek court orders to obstruct investigations, I believe in transparency.
“However, the public deserves accurate information, not fabrications by certain individuals,” he asserted.
