2019 DESPARATION: DELTA APC AND THE MERCHANTS OF INFAMY

Image result for map of delta state
Only a society that takes to self-destruct plunges into lies and propaganda over just about everything, such that it never really considers for a second an adventure that seeks to obliterate the toils of her founding fathers in a bid to score needless points to earn the next available dishonest gratification, even at the expense of the future.

The desperation of APC Delta State is not only leaving a sour taste in the mouth, but is dealing our collective heritage of good brotherliness an embarrassing blow, which points that the biblical prodigal character may have found its way to our society, challenging every sane disposition of unity we ever prided in.

At a time, unity and strength of character should serve as our guiding principle, the unpatriotic act of shooting ourselves in the thigh has become our greatest undoing, especially now that we have tended to grow a voracious appetite for power beyond acceptable standards of free choice and good conscience.

The avoidable skirmish and bitterness that have dominated major discourse; giving the online media a feast, may never have been if our allegiances to our dear State is a little stronger than the flame of a candle light put out in the wind, at a time far-leftists have braved flouting even sacred ordinances of respect to authority.

Governor Okowa's only known offence is that he has refused to siphon public funds and share remnants of the stolen money to people to appease them. This administration is spending judiciously to develop the State. The administration is not frivolous and reckless financially, it has done so much with the minimal resources at its disposal. The State government has performed excellently in terms of provision of physical infrastructure and social amenities

Hate, falsehood, propaganda and deceits are vices the governor has roundly trounced by keeping faith with the people's support as he goes unfettered in delivering even more than he promised in the last twenty-seven months of his stay in government, to the chagrin of a few who waited to see him fail.

Unfortunately APC and its merchants of infamy have repeatedly been shamed in their efforts to tear down every of Governor Okowa's fabric of acclaim. Regardless of his focus at building a more formidable future of economic renaissance through prudence and probity, the governor who has already made commendable strides, infrastructural consolidation and citizen's empowerment, despite the biting recession, has gone further to make do his promise of inclusive governance, by opening the doors of government for every Deltan person and group.


In all of this, one is reminded of an African proverb that, "a man who is on the floor has no shame." These men of ignoble character are not new to losing, as they have been repeatedly floored, with their morale battered and defeated on all fronts.

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...
