He said that Ogboru has been on with his political agenda right from the time of the former governor Chief James Onanefe Ibori down to Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan and to the present governor Senator  Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, filling one petition to another from appeal to supreme, there by dragging the state into series of litigation.
