The recent declaration by Hon. Ngozi Okolie, the embattled member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, to the media that he had done only “one or two things” since assumption of seat 18 months ago is in clear admission of our stand that his representation is a total failure. Hon.

-By Zik Gbemre Delta state politicians should have some shame. The desperation to hang around the corridors of power is nauseating. From falling from the Senate with stolen mandate, Chief Ighoyota Amori is comfortable beaming with smile to be engaged as personal assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori with the big-for-nothing title of Chief Adviser. Amori are you not ashamed of self? The governor is among errand boys you and Ibori groomed as heirs to the helms in the PDP hegemony of misgovernment over Delta since 1999. So, Amori because of greed, you prepared to reverse the mood of relationship with…
