DELTA 2015: TONY CHUKS OBUH RECEIVES SENATOR PATRICK OSAKWE'S ENDORSEMENT FOR GOVERNOR

Senator Patrick Osakwe has endorsed the governorship aspiration of PDP front line gubernatorial aspirant, Tony Chuks Obuh, describing him as a humble and intelligent gentleman who has been a key player in PDP political engineering in Delta State.
He said Obuh has been sponsoring and financing of various political pressure groups that have assisted the party in mass mobilization of eligible voters for PDP victories in various elections.
Chief Osakwe told the huge crowd he assembled at his country home in Ndokwa West to receive the key governorship aspirant that PDP will queue behind the state leader, His Excellency, Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan for the consensus adoption of the most qualified aspirant.
"He who the system says will be our governorship candidate will certainly be the one that will carry the day. Is either you are in or you are out, period. Those working against Governor Uduaghan are wasting their time. He is our party leader and we shall go with him in the present political dispensation. He knows the best among the aspirants," Senator Osakwe said.
"Governor Uduaghan has done well. Asaba International Airport is one of the legacies of His Excellency. His vision for Delta State is great and we need someone that is not the enemy of the Governor to finish and improve upon the enviable performances of the Uduaghan administration."
"Tony Obuh is well known to me because of his key roles in government, particularly his silent but deep involvement in several PDP activities across board. I say here and now that my political structures in Ndokwa and beyond have today adopted Sir Tony Chuks Obuh, as our governorship aspirant and come November 29, 2014 he will surely clinch the PDP governorship ticket, by the special grace of God."
Speaking earlier, Sir Obuh told the Senator and political tactician that his success at the party primaries and at the polls requires the total support and push of Chief Osakwe's political structures within the Ndokwa Nation and across board.
He said his sole objective of aspiring to the office of Governor of Delta State is to build on the huge success of Governor Uduaghan's administration and take Delta state to a higher socio-economic and political level.
Sir Obuh further asserted that Deltans will enjoy the dividends of democracy in a greater measures, if elected in 2015, pointing out that his administration will focus on youth and women empowerment through vocational training, skills acquisition supported via the provision of initial take-off capital in line with the DELTA BEYOND OIL vision.

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...
