PDP Urges EFCC to Release Ex-Governor Okowa, Citing Political Targeting
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately release former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, condemning his detention as a violation of democratic values.
Speaking at a news conference, PDP Deputy Youth Leader Timothy Osadolor labeled the arrest “political persecution” aimed at silencing the opposition. He argued that Okowa, who willingly reported to the EFCC, was cooperating and not evading investigation.
The PDP claimed Okowa’s detention is part of a broader plan to target opposition figures and urged the EFCC to operate independently of political influence. The party also called for reforms to prevent presidential control over the agency.
