As a result of the demise of the Senator
representing Delta Central in the Nigerian Senate, Senator Akpo Pius Ewherido,
the authorities and the people of his constituents have been urged to dig deep
into unraveling the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.
A chieftain of his party, the Democratic Peoples
Party (DPP) which has been gearing on merging with the new mega party in the
State, All Progressive Congress (APC) who spoke on anonymity with this
reporter, stated that with his sudden popularity in the State coupled with his
interest in contesting the 2015 governorship position in the State, his
political rivals should be questioned on what they know about his death.
“Of recent prior to his death, Ewherido has been
having a cold war with Chief Great Ogboru of the same DPP on who flies the
party’s flag for the 2015 general election. This is aside a boosting Chief
Ighoyota Amori of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who contested the senate
election with Ewherido in 2011 and is good with parading himself as a Senator
in waiting.
“Don’t forget the spiritual attack on Chief Charles
Obule where he claimed in presence of some Chiefs in the entourage sent by the Orodje of Okpe to visit him (Obule) on the demise of his
brother. In that visit, Chief Obule had illustrated how Chief Amori had struck
him with the same mysterious ailment that befell Ewherido in the United Kingdom.”
According to the DPP chieftain, Obule had said that
contrary to his expectation, he was advised by the English medical doctor attending
to him in the UK, to go back to Africa as his ailment was attributed to a
divine force from his home continent and as such, his treatment in the UK would
be effort in futility. An advice he headed to which reflects his gradual
recuperation viz-a-viz spiritual help at his Portharcourt.

Abuja residence. It was gathered that, he immediately fell down gasping for air
and bleeding through the mouth and nostrils after which he was immediately rushed
to the Abuja National Hospital pending his recovery and subsequent treatment at
