"This kind of empowerment can only be done by the PDP and this will go a long way in alleviating the living conditions of the beneficiaries. I , therefore, urge you all to go out and campaign for all candidates of our party so that we can be guaranteed of more infrastructural and human capital development," he said

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.

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...
