ELECTION 2015: ONUESOKE URGES UHROBO TO SUPPORT OKOWA AND JONATHAN


A member of the Delta State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has called on the Urhobo to put the past behind them and rally support for Senator Ifeanyi Okowa’s governorship bid and President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid, including other PDP candidates to success in the 2015 general elections.
Onuesoke made the appeal while addressing newsmen at Osubi airport, Warri, Delta State. He advised the Urhobo people to put the past behind them and vote en-mass for Okowa and Jonathan, stressing that the failure of Urhobo anointed candidate in the PDP gubernatorial primary should not deter them from supporting the party’s candidates in the coming elections.
Onuesoke, who said Urhobo must be in the winning party by supporting PDP in presidential, senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly elections, said since Jonathan assumed office on May 29, 2011, his transformational agenda has impacted seriously on the people, adding that his economic team has been implementing far-reaching reforms and policies conceived in the economic blue print which seeks, among other things, to revive the country’s infrastructure, diversify the economy from oil and create a vibrant economy.
He pointed out that for Jonathan to fully implement his political, economic, infrastructural and social transformational agenda for the full benefit of Nigerians, he should be given the opportunity for second term.

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

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...
