Delta State governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has refuted rumours that he was the South-South governor allegedly duped by a mistress.
He spoke on Tuesday in reaction to some reports that he was allegedly swindled of $10 million by a US based actress, Georgina Onuoha.
Fielding questions from journalists at the 2017 Quarterly Media Interaction at Government House Asaba, Okowa said the news was entirely false.
He said: “People who know me, I have a pattern of life. My party the PDP has issued an official statement on the issue.
“I gave my life to Christ several years ago and I know who I am. If Jesus Christ could be accused, who am I?”
At the briefing, Okowa listed his recent achievements, planned projects , his SMART agenda, among others.
He also spoke on return of former Delta governor James Ibori.
Okowa added that he was not aware of any plans that Ibori and his political dynasty were moving to join the APC.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called for probe of the Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, over the allegation.
A statement yesterday by acting spokesman of the APC in Delta State, Leonard Obi, also urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to investigate the alleged missing N48.6 billion Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission fund.
