DELTA 2015: SENATOR OKOWA WILL EMERGE THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF DELTA STATE

The Governorship candidate of the PDP, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, is predicted for victory in the upcoming April 11, 2015, Governorship polls in Delta State.

This is the general opinion of people across the State as they reacted to the victory of the opposition All Progressive Congress, APC Presidential candidate General Muhamadu Buhari, over his Peoples Democratic Party candidate and incumbent, President Goodluck Jonathan in the April 11, 2015 presidential polls.

They felt that the people of Nigeria have spoken and congratulated General Buhari, but generality of them insisted that for Delta State, which is a PDP stronghold and which gave Jonathan over 1.2million votes will retain their State and continue with good governance.  

The general opinion is that Senator Ifeanyi Okowa remains the best candidate in the race with the right experience, training, exposure, competence, integrity and national network to consolidate on the gains made by the past administrations and lead the State into the era of industrial and agricultural boom.

Deltans should therefore not be misguided. The PDP and all her members, including supporters in Delta State who are in the overwhelming majority remain committed to voting massively for Senator Okowa as their governor.

On how, the State will cope as an opposition to the APC which has already taken the central government.  It is good to note that ours is federal system. Any fears are unfounded, as Lagos, Edo, Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, among many other States, which were run by opposition parties under PDP Federal Government held their own. With a man like Senator Okowa, Delta State will remain a viable, prosperous, developed State. All Deltans are urged to rally round him.


The good people of Delta State should vote right and support the cause of equity and justice by voting for Senator Ifeanyi Okowa. The interest of every part of the State will be protected and met under him as governor.

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...
