DELTA 2015: DR. ARTHUR IFEANYI OKOWA’S VICTORY, AN INTERESTING OUTCOME



The only constant thing in life is change. Last Monday, 08 December, 2014, we began the process of electing the next governor of our dear State. This was by no means a casual affair. The result of the gubernatorial primary was an interesting outcome. This experience is rich in content and will linger in the memory. Our party, the Peoples' Democratic Party – PDP delegates have made a choice and that choice is Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa. It is particularly pleasing that a choice was made from the pool of men and women of passion and integrity.

By the grace of God our flag bearer is Dr. Okowa, because the delegates have said so. The choice of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa is not singlehanded, but that of the PDP delegates in the Delta State. 

There's a fine line between stubbornness and the positive side of that, which is dogged determination. The patience, inner conviction and the doggedness of Dr. Okowa is noteworthy. He went about it, with dogged determination.
For the sake of equity the party decided that its governorship ticket should go to Delta North senatorial district after that the Central and South Senatorial zones have produced Chief James Ibori and Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan as Governors for the past sixteen years by 2015 respectively.

We commend and thank our party chieftains, elders and loyal members for how peacefully they conducted the primaries. Their conduct was exemplary and it set the tone for democracy, which guarantees the rights of all the people and their participation in their own governance.

It is heartwarming the Dr. Okowa has waved the olive branch at other aspirants for the position, assuring that he will carry them along in his plans and activities.

The change that all have been looking for is here. We should fight with everything we have to deliver Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and the State to PDP.

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...
