APC on Monday admitted that the complaints of marginalisation and emasculation raised by the New PDP bloc in the party were genuine and are been addressed.
Shuaibu Lawan, National Deputy Chairman of APC, stated this shortly after a meeting with the nPDP team led by Alhaji Kawu Baraje, at the party’s national secretariat.

Alhaji Lawan said the APC takes seriously genuine complaints of its members, pointing out that it cannot ignore such grievances raised out of concern for growth of the party.

The APC chieftain stated, however, that the issues are yet to be resolved.

“We have not yet resolved. They wrote a letter to us; they are party men, they have grievances, we looked at the letter, their grievances are genuine. And they requested a meeting within seven days and before the seven days expired, I called them and they were not ready to come, they said we should shift the meeting till today, which we did.

“So we are listening to them, we have listened to them and we are taking up their matter seriously, we will address it.
“We don’t ignore our people except if you don’t send your grievances to the party, but if you send, we will address your grievances”.

Earlier Alhaji Baraje, who led the New PDP team denied issuing the party an ultimatum or any threat to quit the APC, pointing out that the nPDP in the letter merely suggested an opportunity to have a meeting within seven days because of the preparation for congresses and convention.

Baraje said the bloc has had an initial discussion with the party, which, he said, is ongoing.

“As you are aware that we requested that we wanted to see the party, and the party, very sensitive party, very responsible party, responded to our requests adequately and we think it is a very encouraging time. Since last week, they’ve gotten across to us but because of one logistics or the other, we couldn’t come until today. We begged the party to shift the day till today and today we have seen our party. We are party members, this office is our office, we have only come home to discuss those observations we copied you people…in our letter. The meeting was very beautiful.”

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...
