Today, it is no news that the Governor is merely copycatting his predecessor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa’s style of governance. But the matter is, while H.E Oborevwori is glaringly following Okowa’s footsteps, meanwhile Sen. Okowa’s administration was not so great itself while it lasted. Some of the projects that made political praisers to name him “Road Master” had since failed barely three years since he handed over to the current dispensation. No doubt Gov.
