OBIdient Delta PDP Chief Declines Major Appointment From Okowa

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State, Mr Josiah Omenuwoma, has turned down an appointment from Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as a Special Assistant (Youth Mobilization) upon the claim of being OBIdient to the aspiration of Peter Obi.

GWG reports that the appointment letter was signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Patrick Ukah.

Omenuwoma, however, rejected the letter telling the governor in a letter addressed through the SSG that he rejected the appointment on the basis of his decision to back Peter Obi for the presidency.

GWG reports that Okowa is the vice-presidential candidate of the PDP which has Atiku Abubakar as presidential candidate.

Omenuwoma in the letter titled “Letter of Decline” and dated August 2nd, 2023, thanked Governor Okowa for the appointment but added “opportunity was presented at a time I couldn’t accept”.

The Obidient Delta PDP chief in rejecting the appointment from Gov Okowa, wrote: “In reference to your letter dated 22nd July 2022 with reference number SGD 399/T68/1882.

“Thank you very much for offering me the opportunity to work and serve as Special Assistant (Youth Mobilization) to the Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.

“After Careful thought and deliberation, I have decided to Decline this opportunity, It’s unfortunate that the opportunity was presented at a time I couldn’t accept.

“This was a very difficult decision and I sincerely appreciate the Appointment and I do regret that I am unable to render my services at the moment but In future I will be more than happy to accept and work, I am sure any other youth appointed as my replacement will do well.

“Once again, I would like to express my gratitude, May God bless you and give you more wisdom and enablement to finish strong on the smart agenda.”

Omenuwoma also took to his Facebook to explain why he could not support the Atiku-Okowa ticket as he affirmed that he had pledged loyalty to be Obidient.

The OBIdient Delta PDP chief explaining why he rejected the appointment from Okowa said: “I choose to be OBIDIENT and I have decided to remain actively OBIDIENT because I strongly believe that Nigeria will be better if Mr Peter Obi is President by 2023.

“I sincerely wish to thank Is Excellency Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to have graciously offered me the opportunity to serve and I most grateful to my Caring Big Brother/Friend, Distinguished Leader, My great Supporter and Father to have recommend me, influenced and facilitated the appointment, “Big Bros you don too show me love wen I no fit forget” It’s unfortunate the came at this time that I have actively engaged and Committed myself to the OBIDIENT Movement.

“I am so sorry that I have to decline the appointment, I would have really loved to serve, this was a very difficult decision.

“I wish to also appreciate all those that Supported me, those that criticized me (Constructively or destructively), those that were proud of me and those that we disappointed.

“Going forward, let’s respect each other’s decision and choice as we work towards a better Nigeria, let’s put the general interest of Nigerians first because the overall welfare and security of Nigerians is more important.”
