Governor Uduaghan calls on Nigerians to denounce terrorists and terrorism


The Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has said that Nigerians must collectively denounce terrorism and terrorists as it was antithetical to the people’s way of life or any known religion.
Dr. Uduaghan, who stated this yesterday in a goodwill message to Muslims in commemoration of this year’s Eid El Fitri celebrations, urged that terrorism and terrorists must be combated by all in the interest of peace and unity of the country.

He said that it was essential that Nigerians must rally round President Goodluck Jonathan to check Nigerians that were betraying their nation and adopting terrorism as their ideology. “We must all denounce terrorism and continue to pray for the federal government to successfully combat terror and terrorists who betray their nation and forget their humanity while adopting terrorism as ideology and course,” he stated.

“We should all use this occasion to pray to God that those deviant minds should change their ways before they lose the true essence of their religion and way of life,” he added. Governor Uduaghan enjoined Nigerians, especially Muslims, to spread love to others and to cultivate hope and happiness in every corner of the country, stressing that the month of Ramadan was a period for the reaffirmation of faith, love, tolerance and mercy to fellow Nigerians and humanity in general.

He noted that Eid El Fitri emphasises the teaching of Islam and its tolerance and therefore called on all Muslim faithful to follow the good ideals they obtained during the holy month, especially the readiness to engage in good deeds.Faith, he added, will not be complete without believing in the Prophet and His messages, stressing: “At the peak of its progress, the Islamic civilisation was a unique and model example for coexistence and interaction with other religions and cultures.”

Dr. Uduaghan congratulated Muslim brothers and sisters in the country as they marked the end of Ramadan and wished the entire Muslim faithful, happy, peaceful and joyous Eid-El-Fitri celebrations.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
