The Delta State All Progressive Congress (APC) faction supported by the duo of Chief Great Ogboru and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege Tuesday, May 29, 2018 inaugurated its State Executives allegedly led by the immediate past state party chairman, Prophet Jones Erue without approval of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

The Erue led State Working Committee (SWC) which was allegedly elected at a parallel state congress despite the fact that the party leadership had earlier postponed the state congress, today, in what has been described as a continuation of reign of impunity were inaugurated at the state party secretariat in State capital, Asaba.

Recall that the APC National Publicity Secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi stated that the party leadership will only recognize state congress conducted by party’s approved convention committee, but in a move aimed at preempting the decision of the party NWC, the Ogboru/Omo-Agege group rushed to Asaba to inaugurate its executive, while the party leadership is observing Democracy Day.

The Delta State APC Publicity Secretary-elect of the faction supported by the State party leader, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, Mr Moses Kamanya while reacting to this development; described the purported inauguration as the height of impunity and desperation on the part of Ogboru and Omo-Agege camp to hold on shamefully to a straw, while drowning.

According to him; “Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and Chief Great Ogboru in total disregard to the party’s guidelines and regulations have moved again as usual to inaugurate their Kangaroo state Exco all in the bid of actualizing the objectives of their pay masters, knowing fully well that all approved State Excos nationwide are bill to be inaugurated by the NWC as soon as the outcomes of various congresses are validated by the NEC.

“This constant disrespect of party procedures and guidelines by persons who just joined the party continues to confirm their true intent to destroy APC in Delta State.

“How do we explain a situation where these set of individuals are moving to inaugurate a make believe state Exco when all progressive Deltas are lamenting at the decaying state of our infrastructure in the past 19 years of PDP misrule, and the party leaders are encouraging members to remain steadfast for effective takeover of the state by the APC come 2019. Another exercise in futility,” he added.

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...
