NIGERIAN RULING APC, A CONSCIENCELESS PARTY OF HYPOCRITES

Image may contain: 1 person, sitting
When Gov. Ali Modu Sheriff was made the PDP Chairman, I had it very rough with some APC guys and Buhari supporters. They referred to PDP as the nest of killers and the hub and the bastion of Boko Haram.
Even when some of us tried to explain to them that Sheriff was an APC guy when he supported and allow Boko Haram to expand, they kept insisting that even then he was PDP in blood and in spirit.
And now, Sheriff is back in APC and was recently hosted to a dinner by Saint Buhari, now he is DG Buhari Support Group and all my former friends and accusers are all mute and cold as if they all drawn in the iced Atlantic Ocean.
One thing I notice about APC politics is that, for one to thrive and be promoted, one must be a blunt hypocrite and always think irrationally.
Most of those things APC celebrates as glory and a milestone today were the same things they frown at and condemn as taboo just yesterday.
And I begin to wonder, is lack of a living conscience and having a dead value system one of the manifestoes of APC? I wish one of them will be bold and honest enough to face me and answer this question.
They keep celebrating what is not working and still expect to move Nigeria forward. No doubt 2015 - 2019 will be regarded in history as our years of the locusts and the cankerworms. Yet, some of them are still celebrating and even urging on.
Sad!

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...
