The embattled Special adviser to Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Projects and Financial Matters Honourable Elemchukwu Ogbowu is in the midst of the storm right now as his photograph with notorious cultist and Mass murderer late Mr Igewdibia Johnson alias Don Wanney went viral on Facebook and other social media. He did not sleep throughout the week after the Killing of Don Wanney and two of his cultist gangsters. First, Honourable Elemchukwu Ogbowu was a guest at Rhythm 93.7Fm station at Port Harcourt on Saturday 13th, January, 2018 anchored by Segun Owolabi. Upon responding questions, he was quick to admit that he comes from the same clan and community with the dreaded cultist and mass murderer Igwedibia Johnson alias Don Wanney. And that he was the person who posed in a photograph with late Don Wanney and his wife.
Honourable Elemchukwu Ogbowu was born on March 16th, 1964 to the family of late HRH, Eze M.N Ogbowu of Usomini/Omoku. He is founding member of Peoples Democratic Party-PDP in Rivers state. In 1999-2003, he was elected in Rivers state House of Assembly representing one of the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Constituencies and was Chairman House Committee on Petroleum, Environment and Pollution Matters, Chairman, House Committee on Commerce and Industry. Honourable Elemchukwu Ogbowu was appointed Commissioner for Transport by ex-Governor of Rivers state Dr. Peter Odili and later appointed Commissioner for Commerce and Industry by Dr. Peter Odli. He is a graduate of Accountancy from Rivers State University of Science and Technology Nkpolu Orowurokwo Port Harcourt now renamed Rivers State University. In his political career, Honourable Elemchukwu Ogbowu was at a time shot at with gun bullet injury and his Be-Done Group of Companies that owned Be-Done Night Club at Omoku had it closed down. He admitted on Radio that the Don Wanney people know was more than he was popularly known.
In the Radio interview Honourable Elemchukwu Ogbowu dismissed the fact Don wanney was actually a member of his political party-PDP and that had worked for the interest of his party during elections in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area. Instead that the late Cultist Don Wanney was involved in economic related cultism matters with Oil and Gas companies operating in the area paying him homage. And that Don Wanney was so rich that almost every Very Important Person-V.I.P did recognize him as he amassed wealth larger than anyone can imagine. “Myself was a target to be killed by this cultist even I have to relocate to Abonnema town my maternal home for so many years, as everyone in Omoku town knows this as my properties were targeted as well by this group”, Honourable Ogbowu told bewildered listeners on radio.
