By Zik Gbemre It is common knowledge that under the PDP thieving hegemony over Delta state since 1999, the populace have suffered worsening misgovernment. However, before the cabal catapulted Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the top spot in Delta government, past misgovernment displayed by the ruling PDP was not a reflection of ineptitude and lack of leadership capacity. The tragedy of Delta state under the two medical doctors, was induced by a combination of sheer abuse of power and influence of the office of the governor, a desperation to sustain that power after leaving the office and pressure of satisfying power…

The Pyrates Confraternity, having watched a video purportedly made by a group self-styled the Association of Humble and Obedient Youths (AHOY) in which the individuals who made the video seek, forlornly and incompetently, to associate their origins and continued existence with our organisation especially with our Seven Founding Fathers, hereby place on record the following statement in denunciation of those claims. The said video constitutes the most impudent, brazen episode of piracy on the…
Your Excellency, we, Sapele PDP Cares, respectfully draw your attention to serious concerns that threaten the principles and future of our great party. The state chairman Barr Esiso consistently engages in self-serving behaviors undermining fair representation and credibility in his leadership.

As DESOPADEC head for 3 years, records show Mr. Abeke failed to address community needs, contrary to Barr Esiso’s dishonest claims. This leaves no doubt control, not community progress, motivated the decision, to the celebration of opposition parties. Barr…

By Ugo Egbujo Your name says you are a man of strength. Some say you are a strongman. Others call you Nebuchadnezzar. You say you are a man of capacity, character and INTIGRITY.

You had prophesied the formidability of this young governor who didn’t like talking. The Igbo say it is the small faeces that…

Only very few politicians could be described as being selfless with eyes fixed on milestones and enduring legacies. Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor of Delta State, clearly belongs to the category of leaders seeking to make their mark on the sands…
