Let me say it straight. Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei’s recent outburst against Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa is disappointing and downright embarrassing for a man who claims decades of experience in politics. Instead of engaging in honest debate, Ochei has chosen to peddle blatant falsehoods and cheap propaganda, all in a clear attempt to drag down a leader who enjoys genuine support from the people. Aptly, Ochei's outburst is malicious and really reveals his troubling struggle for political relevance.
