As the battle over who represent Bomadi Constituency in Delta State House of Assembly come 2011 gets more intense, the Chairman of Bomadi local government, Hon. Kalanama Prince Penawou who is the major contender to the incumbent member representing the constituency, Hon. Reginald Mono Donbraye is currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Fresh Angle checks reveal.
The anti-graft body recently picked the Bomadi council boss over allegations of corruption, but was later released, even as investigations continue. Informed sources hinted Fresh Angle that Hon. Kalanama Penawou’s travail is not unconnected with his 2011 House of Assembly aspiration, which majority of the local government councillors allegedly acting on the script of his major contender, a serving lawmaker, is against hence the EFCC petition. It was further gathered that the reason behind the move is to ensure that the council boss is indicted in the on-going investigation thus making him ineligible to contest the Bomadi House of Assembly constituency seat which the incumbent lawmaker is keenly interested in.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of Patani local government, Mrs. Josephine Abeki who recently submitted herself to ICPC for investigation has brokered peace with the council’s legislative arm. Fresh Angle reliably gathered from an impeccable source that the local government boss shortly after her return from ICPC received operatives of the EFCC at the council secretariat and it’s believed a compromised has been reached after she brokered peace with the councilors who allegedly petitioned the anti-graft bodies.
