THE League of Professionals for Strategic Advocacy, LEPSA has commiserated with the Governor of Delta State,  Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa over the death of his father.

The group also commiserated with the Speaker and members of the State House of Assembly and the people of Isoko North Constituency over the demise of Hon Tim Kome Owhefere.

Sir Arthur Okorie Okowa passed on peacefully in the early hours of last week Thursday while Hon Tim Kome Owhefere who took his last breath at about 11:30 pm last week Wednesday night was representing Isoko North Constituency in the State House of Assembly and Majority Leader of the House.

The group in two separate statements signed by its convener, Prince Obaro Unsafe, its Chairman, Pius Mordi, and Fred Akpewe, secretary, extolled the virtues of Pa Okorie Okowa who was a father to all.

The group in the statement said: “From his younger days as a teacher, Pa Okowa devoted his life to raising a generation of well trained and morally upright young men and women”.

“The sterling proof of Pa Okowa’s success in mentoring young people to imbibe quality education is the impressive performance of the young Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, his first son, who qualified as a Medical Doctor at a very youthful age, leading his siblings along the path charted by their father”.

Also, the group described the late Hon. Tim Kome Owhefere as an extraordinary lawmaker who had an imprint in most of the policies and legislative initiatives that transformed the state.

Saying the late Hon Tim  Owhefere was a peacemaker and consensus builder, the group said his death was a huge loss to the legislature and the entire state.

The group in the statement said; “Hon. Owhefere was a rallying point for major policy thrusts that have had a profound effect in developing the state. The late lawmaker and politician had a distinguished career that endeared him to his constituency.

“We pray for the repose of his soul and for his family the fortitude to bear the huge loss at this difficult time.”

The Washington in the Fifties

 The Washington that I knew in the fifties was not the Washington of Dickens, Mrs. Trollope, and Laurence Oliphant. When I knew the capital of our country, it was not "a howling wilderness of first book of Adam and Eve deserted streets running out into the country and ending nowhere, its population consisting chiefly of politicians and negroes";[1] nor were the streets overrun with pigs and infested with goats. I never saw these animals in the streets of Washington; but a story, told to illustrate the best way of disposing of the horns of a dilemma proves one goat at least to have had the freedom of the city. It seems that Henry Clay, overdue at the Senate Chamber, was once hurrying along Pennsylvania Avenue when he was attacked by a large goat. Mr. Clay seized his adversary by the horns. So far so good, but how about the next step? A crowd of sympathetic bootblacks and newsboys gathered 4 around offering advice. "Let go, Mr. Clay, and run like blazes," shouted one...
