DELTA 2015: TONY CHUCKS OBUH’S MEGA RALLY FOR GUBER DECLARATION IS 72 HOURS AWAY

Great Deltans! The Mega rally for the public declaration of trailblazing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial aspirant, Sir Tony Chuks Obuh is less than 72 hours away. The divine mandate is in top gear. I urge all Tony Obuh’s supporters, political associates, support groups and indeed all Deltans to assemble at The Cenotaph in Asaba, on Friday, 07 November, 2014, to cheer up their frontline governorship aspirant on the platform of the PDP.
The entrance of Tony Obuh into the governorship race has brought about a renewal of hope, faith and trust among Deltans at home and in the Diaspora. This public declaration will afford him the opportunity to articulate his socio-economic agenda for Deltans as he formally declares his intention to run for the office of Governor of Delta State in 2015.
Tony Chuks Obuh, a top class technocrat and former Permanent Secretary in the Delta State Civil Service joined the gubernatorial race after retirement, having served the State meritoriously for 32 years without blemish. In 2007, Obuh convened and funded Project Uduaghan International, (PUI) a political pressure group affiliated to the PDP in Delta State to mobilize support for Dr. Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan.
Before now Tony Obuh, had embarked on consultation visits to PDP Local Government Area executives, leaders and elders, including delegates, in the three senatorial districts (North, South and Central) to drum up grassroots support for his political aspiration.

Come One! Come all!

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...

THE ENDURING LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: Chief James Ibori Celebrated for His Impact on Delta State

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent. However, the atmosphere dramatically changed when the name of Former Governor James Ibori was announced; the congregation erupted in wide jubilation and applause. This reaction was so profound that even Senator George Akume and Governor Obaseki could not hide their astonishment. The enthusiastic reception for Chief James Ibori during this solemn occasion highlighted his enduring legacy among the people of Delta State. Despite having left office seventeen years ago, he continues to be celebrated whenever he attends public functions i...
