According to Gistmania, the governor of Delta State, Gov. Okowa has sold Delta Line to the biggest transport company in Edo State, God is Good motors.
Their report claims the company was sold for over N161m even though the State's Chapter of NLC allegedly offered to buy it for N2b. The GIGM Company will own 70% stake in the company while the State will own about 30% stake in the company.
The article claims the sale is a front though as the state governor is allegedly in charge of everything.
Delta State governor, Mr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has sanctioned the sale of Delta Transport Services Limited (Delta Line) to GIG Transport Development Company Limited (God Is Good Motors) for N161 million. The acceptance of the price offer was sequel to the rejection of a N2 billion bid from Delta State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). The curious sale of the company to GIG Motors has resulted in the sack, without payment of compensation, of the 730 workers of Delta Line.

A Delta State Ministry of Justice document seen by SaharaReporters indicated that the name of the company will be changed after five years. To hatch the plot, a top government Report reach us that Mr. Okowa used Mr. Kingsley Emu, Finance Commissioner, and Chairman, Partial Privatization Of Delta Transport Services Limited; Mr. David Edebvie, Commissioner for Economic Planning; and Mr. Peter Mrakpor, Attorney-General, and Commissioner for Justice.
According to the government official, the asset was deliberately undervalued because Mr. Okowa was buying by proxy.

"The real part of the deal between, which is yet unknown to most people, is that Mr. Okowa is the real buyer of the company but has decided to use the God Is Good Motors as front and after five years, the company's name will be changed," the top government official told SaharaReporters.
He also disclosed that the owner of GIG Motors contributed Mercedes-Benz buses to the governorship campaign of Mr. Okowa.
"It was because of that the governor directed Mr. Edevbie to advertise for bids, which was a formality, as the transport company was sold for N161 million and a bid of N2billion by the NLC was turned down,"
