He said this during a lecture he delivered at the Press Week organized by Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ Warri Correspondents\u2019 Chapel in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

Gbagi, who reacted over media reports that the governor endorsed the likes of Hon. Michael Michael Diden, a.k.a Ejele and Askia Ogeh said, \u201cGovernor Okowa did not endorse anybody. I can tell you that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that both Ejele and Askia were only on political consultations for their ambitions and not that the governor endorsed them.<\/p>\n

He however disclosed that he is the only aspirant to have bought his governorship nomination form.<\/p>\n

Gbagi, who blamed journalists for the decay in the country, urged them to do their jobs professionally without bias.<\/p>\n
