By TONY EKE At a time Deltans are still immersed in the euphoria of Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori’s successful first year in office and expecting a harvest of more achievements in the second year, it’s worrisome to observe the growing obsession of few persons with criticism of the State Governor just for its own sake.

The trauma can be prolonged for months and even years. It is in this context that we…

Blessed with huge oil and gas deposits, it is the highest oil revenue earner in Nigeria. However, this wealth has not translated into development or a better quality of life for its citizens. Since the dawn of the current democratic governance in 1999, Delta State has been plagued by bad leadership, with each succeeding government worse than its predecessor. Many consider the current Delta State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, to be a man destined to lead Delta State at…
