PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE SACKED AS RULING PARTY LEADER

Embattled President Robert Mugabe has been sacked from his position as leader of the ruling ZANU-PF party and replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Reuters, citing sources at a special ZANU-PF meeting, reports that the decision that led to Mugabe’s replacement was reached on Sunday, November 19. “He has been expelled,” one of delegates told Reuters.
Three other delegates who confirmed Mugabe’s dismissal said Mnangagwa was their new party leader.
Emmerson Mnangagwa was the vice-president who was removed by Mugabe for his preferred successor, his wife Grace.
However the political situation in the country climaxed when the army seized control on Wednesday, November 15, and confined the president to his residence.
The party also confirmed the sacking of Mugabe as its leader on its official twitter page:

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe’s army told Robert Mugabe to resign or soldiers will step aside and let him be attacked in his mansion, a senior Zimbabwean figure has disclosed.
Christopher Mutsvangwa, chairman of the national war veterans’ association and a former Zanu-PF minister, made this known in an interview with Daily mail.
Thousands of Zimbabweans flooded the streets of Harare on Saturday, November 18, waving national flags, singing and dancing in an outpouring of elation at the expected fall of President Robert Mugabe.
However, despite the march by the people to call on the dictator to resign, Mugabe has refused to step aside.

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.
