JONATHAN SPENT N3.5TN PENSION FUND ON RECURRENT EXPENDITURE – OSHIOMHOLE

I think Mr Oshiomhole has been trying too hard to regain his public appeal which took a big bashing after he publicly told a poor widow to "go and die" ‎and after his wedding to the "virgin" foreigner. He's been throwing wild allegations against his political enemies with reckless abandon!

He, it was, who said American officials told him a former minister stole $6/$7 billion but America has since said no such conversation happened. He attacked Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala but that one has been debunking his allegations consistently and systematically. He also attacked former Agriculture minister and said his achievements were fake, but that one defended himself and has been receiving accolades globally and was supported for his current prestigious international job by President Buhari, meaning Buhari does not agree with him (Oshiomhole).

Now, this. To the best of our knowledge, the pension funds contributed ‎under the auspices of the National Pension Commission (PenCom) are managed by privately owned Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) and kept in custody by Pension Fund Custodians (PFCs). Where, when and how did Jonathan then take the money and spent it on recurrent expenditure? And did he spend the money alone or he gave the state governments and local governments a part of it? 

Oshiomhole needs to throw more light on this allegation.

Something significantly degrading is happening to Oshio in the past one year. Maybe his irrational outbursts are a cry for help. Edo folks need to keep their eyes on the man-- and his friends should be worried.

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...
