DELTA GUBER ELECTION TRIBUNAL AND THE PHANTOM APC/LP EXHIBITS



The petition before the Delta State Governorship tribunal sitting in Asaba filed by the Delta State, All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Labour party against the election of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is one that has attracted sufficient interest and commentaries.

It should be so considering Delta State’s enviable status in the comity of States in the federation. What however is funny is the impression created by desperate APC and Labour party agents that there will be a re-run in the State. In truth, if the court were not bound by law to sit on this case to the end, the Justice Gumi chaired tribunal would have found it easy to throw out this case for lack of merit and strong evidence.

The phantom evidences presented to the court by most of their principal witnesses are laughable. Even at the election tribunal siting within the premises of the State High Court, politicians have not hidden their tendency for mischief and lies. Most of their witnesses told the tribunal that elections did not hold on 11th April 2015.

 However, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa’s defense team has had no troubles in tearing these testimonies to shreds.

As we continue to x-ray phantom exhibits and weigh evidences put together by the APC and Labour party, even as the court makes up its mind too. We implore the APC hirelings and social media warriors not to throw the peace and progress of this State to the dogs on the altar of ungodly vengeance mission. What God has done no man can change. No man is greater than God.

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...
