ADAMS OSHOMHOLE: The Embodiment Of Gangsterism And Autocracy

Image may contain: one or more people and close-up
Adams Oshomhole is a belligerent, gabby, shambolic cum egocentric character understandably desperate for attention since leaving office as Edo State governor. The Nigerian ruling party, APC has taken a toll since Adams Oshiomhole grabbed its leadership a little more than a month ago.

Frankly, it has become obligatory to inform the chairman that he is becoming an embarrassment not only to his party but also the country. His persistent outburst against opposition figures only goes to show that Mr. Oshiomhole is not a democrat and lacks the intellectual capacity to lead a ruling party. If not, before rushing to the press, Oshiomhole ought to always have done some research on issues.

Adams Oshomhole is finding it difficult to understand the political truth based on the following objective facts:

1)      President Muhammadu Buhari no longer has what it takes to lead a 21st Century Nigeria and is not supposed to be the nominee of any party in the 2019 presidential election.
2)      The Nigerian masses—from all regions—are yearning for a dynamic, visionary, charismatic, and detribalized leader with the capacity to unleash the abundant potential of Nigeria to greatness.
3)      President Buhari is the real problem in APC; his second term bid is ill-advised and central to the crisis rocking his party.
4)      Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole was elected chairman for all APC members, not an emperor for the inordinate ambition of President Buhari for a second term in office
5)      Oshiomhole’s leadership style since assuming office, typified by a pattern of reckless utterances and intimidation, is an embarrassing failure which, of course, hastened the mass exodus of members to the opposition ranks.
  
I must conclude thusly, Oshiomhole appears to have graduated into a grandiose godfather and now joining to form a wall against the younger generation of leaders and ideas.

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...
