DELTA GUBER: Omo-Agege’s Petition Still Alive, PDP Jittery – APC


The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta State has said Ovie Omo-Agege s petition against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the state governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, is still very much alive.

Omo-Agege was the governorship candidate of the APC during the last election in Delta State.

The party was reacting to the wild jubilation in the camp of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the governorship election tribunal in the state dismissed the case of former Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, against Governor Oborevwori.

However, the APC explained that it s only an application to call additional witnesses that was refused by the tribunal in Wednesday proceedings.

The State Publicity Secretary of the Delta State APC, Valentine Onojeghuo, made these remarks in Asaba, the state capital.

He rubbished the purported dismissal and celebration by members of the State PDP, saying it was delusional.

Onojeghuo said the celebration only goes to confirm that the Delta State PDP is obviously jittery about the ironclad petition of Omo-Agege before the tribunal.

According to him, "This is a confirmation that the PDP and Oborevwori are in a state of panic, very jittery and scared stiff of the ironclad petition of Sen Ovie Omo-Agege.

"They know that they don t stand a chance against the petition and it is only a matter of time before the restoration of our stolen mandate to the rightful owner, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege."

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...
