I WILL BE REMEMBERED BY SEVERAL MILESTONES IN INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENTS – GOVERNOR UDUAGHAN

The Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, CON, has said he will like to be remembered for the milestones in infrastructural developments, which he has attracted to different parts of the State since he assumed office eight years ago.

Dr. Uduaghan said this while speaking with newsmen recently in Warri. The Governor noted that there are lots of projects, programmes and policies that has endeared his administration to Deltans and for which he will surely be remembered.

“I think people from different background, interests or locations would remember me for different reasons “The woman who now has strong confidence in safe delivery in public health facilities through the free maternal health services will remember me for that. “Those living in Avenue would remember me for the dualized Avenue Road, same for those in Refinery Road, Effurun Flyover, those in Ughelli will remember us for the Dualized Ughelli township road, the people of Umeh in Isoko South will remember us for the Umeh road and bridges while those at Aradhe, Ushie, Ashaka and Aboh will remember us for their roads and bridges. At Ovwor-Olomu and Oginibo in Ughelli South, they will remember us for their roads and Olomu bridge, Abigborodo for their road and bridges and even those in Asaba for over 64 roads completed including the Dualized Ezenei Avenue, DBS road, Old Anwai Road, Junior Staff Quarter road, Agric road, Federal College Road, Cabinet complex road and the Asaba flyover, Airport and new Government House."

For the people of Aradhe, to Oloa Ossissa they will remember us for the Dualized section B of the Ughelli Asaba road, at Ode-Itsekiri we will be remembered for Trans Ode Itsekiri roads and bridges, all over the state we will be remembered for the the new schools we have built and the old ones we have rehabilitated to world class standards.

"Again we have also left a legacy of peace and mutual cooperation among all Deltans. There is relative peace and tranquility across Delta State which can be ascribed to our peace and security agenda. No doubt we will be leaving Delta State much better than we met in 2007."

Governor Uduaghan commended Deltans for the support given to his administration over the years and urged them to extend same support and cooperation to the Governor-Elect Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa.

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...
