OSHIOMOLE IS NOW A MINISTER OF ATTACK – SENATOR IGHOYOTA

Senator Ighoyota Amori (PDP), Delta Central has said that having taken stock of the activities of governor Adams Oshiomole since Buhari’s administration, he has abandoned the job for which he was elected and now performing a new role of ”attacking” people when nothing calls for it.
Speaking with DAILY POST exclusively in his office, he stressed that President Buhari’s inability to appoint his Ministers from the beginning as it ought to have been due to reasons best known to him created a vacuum, hence people like governor Oshiomole, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and Rochas Okorocha were the only ones capable of doing the job.
He faulted Oshiomole for allegedly attacking people because he wanted to be seen as important to President Buhari.
“Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Adams Oshiomole and partly Rochas Okorocha have turned themselves as Minister of Information and Defence and particularly Oshiomole who has suddenly become EFCC Boss and Minister of ‘Attack’ on behalf of the government”, Ighoyota said.
“In fact, Oshiomole works as security agent now as he has figures of what happens in America, what happens in Britain or here and there and he knows all the corrupt people,” he added.
He wondered what has become of Oshiomole of late that having been governor of Edo State in the last 7 years, he has suddenly woken up from slumber to take advantage of the vacuum President Buhari created by not having his cabinet in place.
According to him, Oshiomole benefitted heavily from former President, Goodluck Jonathan, who helped him to become governor of Edo against all odds even in his second tenure, but now he has turned against all of those people.
“When Jonathan was President of this country, he benefitted so much from him. Jonathan helped and the People’s Democratic Party helped him to become government of Edo State,” he maintained.
Ighoyota berated President Buhari for not hitting the ground running as promised, noting that not much progress has been made and nothing bankable has happened.
“I am speaking as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as one that represents the interest of the entire nation, and as far as I am concerned, not much activities, not much progress has been made by the present administration,” he stressed.
He said that the National Assembly was waiting for Buhari as he is taking his time to select ‘Angels’, and to appoint ‘Popes’ and ‘Imams’ to become Ministers.

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...
