THE DELTA ELECTION TRIBUNAL JUDGMENT WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH


The Delta State Election Petition Tribunal continued its sitting yesterday, the day’s proceedings started with an application from Ovie Omo-Agege and APC lead counsel Fagbemi SAN, there was objection and arguments from PDP lawyer before the Tribunal stood down proceedings for about two hours before reconvening, the Tribunal deferred to 26th July to deliver on the application.

However, Ovie Omo-Agege and the APC called its 1st expert witness, Barrister Efe Duku. He did so well in his defence that even PDP lawyers saluted him for a job well done. Duku’s testimony lent credence to the obvious fact that the People’s Democratic Party and the PDP governorship candidate bypassed the use of BVAS in the accreditation process. They were simply credited with outlandish fictitious figures that did not correspond to the number of accredited voters. 

Barrister Duku’s attestation definitely exposed clearly the fact that the governorship election results were manipulated and contrived by INEC officials to make Sheriff the winner, albeit fraudulently. 

The onus is now on the Justices of the tribunal who owe it as a duty to themselves, Deltans, Nigerians and indeed God, to declare Ovie Omo-Agege the rightful winner of the March 18, 2023, gubernatorial election. 

But as usual, we know that Okowa is putting tremendous pressure on the justices of the Tribunal hearing the petition challenging the declaration of Sheriff Oborevwori as the winner of the governorship election with his humongous bribes to maintain an illegal status quo. 

We, therefore, call on justices presiding over the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal to be resolute and remain faithful to their oath of office and allegiance by dispensing justice without fear or favour. We cannot afford to go back to the era of impunity in this country. 

There is no doubt that the expected Delta Tribunal judgment will reveal the truth

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...
