Ifeanyi Okowa: A ‘Ned’ in His Throat

So, the shy, quiet and failed vice-presidential candidate, the amiable Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has finally declared his intention to contest for the senate in his Delta North district.

He was reported to have made his intention known when some party leaders went to visit him at his home. But in his declaration, he also apologised for fostering Senator Ned Nwoko on them.

You know it is very good to be patient because as I was reading the report, what came to my mind hurriedly was – is that not Ned’s seat? And truly, he mentioned him, thereby declaring open the most colourful and exciting senatorial battle in the country since Dino Melaye’s.

Ned is at his weakest with the loss of his beautiful damsel, thereby distracting him, but that does not mean that he would be a walkover because one long-necked former governor is eyeing his seat. Funny enough, both of them have long necks quite literally.

Me, I am very excited, I like this kind of struggle as Ned is certainly not a pushover. I can’t even wait; I have bought my popcorn and ordered a new settee as I recline to watch this rumble in Asaba. Guess who my money is on – Okowa and I will tell you guys why next week. Buy this newspaper next week. Thank you.
