National Auditor of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Sir OlisaemekaAkamukali has claimed that Chief Great Ogboru was responsible for
the crack in the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP).
He stated this at the weekend while briefing
journalists at Wellington Hotel in Effurun, near Warri, saying Chief Ogboru was
desperate in becoming the Delta State Governor in 2015.
He said; ‘’Great Ogboru was with us in APC. We held a
NEC meeting of DPP and in that meeting Late Pius Ewherido, Hon. Austine Ogbaburon,
Hon Julius Okpoko, Tony Ezeagwu, Frank Kokori, myself and very few others were
there and it was agreed that DPP should merge with APC. The only person who had
a different voice was Gen Jeremiah Useni that wanted to go to PDP, but majority
carried the day and we drafted a letter to APC for admission which was
submitted by Chief Great Ogboru and Ned Nwoko. A 12man committee that was set
up on the issue was opposed by Chief Great Ogboru saying that, Late Pius
Ewherido should not be in the committee and that was where their problem
started”.
“Meanwhile, Chief Great Ogboru went to Tom Ikimi
andTinubu that they should promise him the governorship ticket in 2015, but
they told him that they are not talking about ticket, that what they want is to
build a valuable opposition. So when Ogboru realised he was not going to get
the governorship ticket, he started blackmailing us and saying that President
Goodluck Jonathan had promised him the governorship position, that he will win
the supreme court case, but was defeated by Uduaghan. Next, he went to Mimiko
of Labour Party (LP), to consult with him on the governorship ticket but his
people said the party is not for sale,” he continued.
