WIFE of late leader of the All
Progressives Congress in Delta State, Mrs.
Anna Okpozo said people should stop blaming
President Muhammadu Buhari over the
appointment of her late husband, Senator
Francis Okpozo in the recent board
appointment saying no body is above mistake.
*Senator Okpozo
Though she expressed her surprise when she
saw the name adding however that the
President would not be ” everywhere to know
everything”.
However, the wife said that her late husband,
as one of the founders of the All Progressives
Congress, was a close friend of the President
and stood by him, along with a national leader
of the party, during the APC presidential
primary and presidential election.
According to her”During the President’s
inauguration, my husband was there. When he
fell sick and eventually died, we did not hear
anything, though the President too was fighting
for his life. As the head, he (Buhari) sent a
condolence message.
“So, this appointment is giving me some
thoughts on whether it was not the President
that sent the condolence message. If he was
the one that sent the message and was aware
that his (late Okpozo) name was on the list, he
(Buhari) would have corrected it.”
The widower added, “I am not picking any
offence at all because as a President, he
cannot know everything about everybody in the
whole country. Maybe he had delegated the
thing (selection) to some people to do and they
did not consult but just published it (list).
“My husband died on December 26, 2016. So, I
cannot cry over split milk. He is gone; the
living can forge ahead. But I commend him for
remembering my son.”
