WHAT DOES UDUAGHAN HAVE TO OFFER APC AND DELTANS THAT HE COULDN'T OFFER AS A COMMISSIONER, SSG AND A GOVERNOR? -By Olorogun Paul Akpo Abu

I just can't help wondering what more a man could ask for after founding a party, serving as a Commissioner, SSG for 8 years and another 8 years as an Executive Governor.

The BIG QUESTION people should be asking about the defection of former Governor Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan to APC is what does he stand to benefit from the APC and what contribution can he bring to Delta State as a passenger that he couldn't achieve as a driver in charge of the wheel of progress of Delta State?

This is a man who was not known to be a doctor with any well-established Clinic, Hospital or Business before his cousin a PDP National Leader Chief James Onanefe Ibori brought him into politics and made him commissioner for health, SSG and finally Governor.

When he was a sitting Governor he couldn't use his office and power of a Governor to win election as a Senator, he couldn't produce his successor in office, is it now that he's out of office that he thinks he can win an election to become a Senator?

For the records, as a sitting Governor, Uduaghan's style of leadership was not only self-centred but it was a total disaster and a failure.

Unlike Fashola who took over from Bola Tinubu, he couldn't build on the achievements of Ibori thereby reducing the achievements of Ibori.

Please before you argue, take a good look at Warri and the total waste of scarce resources on a failed BRT project, a failed Warri Industrial Park, a failed Resort at Oleri, a failed Wildlife Park at Ogwashi-Uku, a failed Osubi Airport Expansion Project, a failed Asaba International Project, a failed dualization of Ughelli to Asaba, Osubi to Eku Road projects etc.

His failure in governance is unprecedented. He wasted 8 years as Governor and brought shame not only to PDP but shame to his benefactor who made powerful enemies just to see him become a Governor.

Uduaghan has no political structure and presently. He is very irrelevant in the scheme of things in Delta politic. Nobody is bothered about him leaving PDP as he was a total liability.

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...
