The Delta State's
Accountant-General, Cyril Agbele has reportedly absconded few hours to the
inauguration of the newly elected governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, reports ITRealms.
This, ITRealms also gathered from sources at
Government House Asaba may derail the May 29, 2015 handover ceremony, even as
Mr. Agbele could not be reached on phone with a purported switched off.
ITRealms
equally gathered that Agbele’s is already affecting the programmes of the
transition committee, it was however alleged that Accountant’s abscondment was
due to pressures from Okowa’s camp.
Contrary to insinuations that Gov.
Uduaghan mounted pressure on Agbele for the release of funds, while Government
House source told ITRealms that the
disappearance of the Accountant General was not unconnected to the influence of
some hawks in the camp of Okowa.
The funds earlier requested for
release by Uduaghan from the Accountant-General were for security agencies, the
state's inauguration committee and the transition committee of the
governor-elect.
But the hawks in the Okowa camp were
said to have bent on creating problems for Okowa and are thus using every
available means to hinder a successful transition.
"As at today, the state cannot
fund the inauguration of Okowa. And we see this as a political move by some
hawks in the team of Okowa to create problem for him,” sources told ITRealms.
A source in Okowa's camp said:
"The initial perception of a hostile relationship with Uduaghan appears to
have failed as the two of them have been getting on well and are headed towards
sustaining the camaraderie.
"This has been a source of
worry to a lot of them who have been looking for every opportunity to create
chaos and then make money through that means. The disappearance of the AG is
the height of it all," a concerned Deltan lamented.
