President Buhari is the Problem of the Niger Delta , Obule Replies Omo -Agege




By Wilson Macaulay.

Comrade Francis Obule the Delta State Coordinator of PDP .Mobilizers   has faulted  Senator Ovie Omo -Agage,  the Deputy Senate President for saying that  President  Buhari is  not to  blame for  the under development of the Niger Delta  region. 

Comrade Francis Obule the PDP Chieftain who spoke in  Sapele Delta State  asserted with emphasis that  PMB having spent  five  solid years on the saddle of leadership is enough time  for him to make meaningful and  positive impact   for the  people of the  Niger region which is the nation's  major economic mainstay.

Comrade Obule noted  in his speech thate eventhough he has  so much respect for the DSP  , Senator Ovie Omo Agege , but we need to tell ourselves the truth,  that since the day the  APC led Federal  government took over the reins of power all problems and  advancement  of this country  are  under the leadership of President Buhari . 

He added : " therfore , the onus lies on him to prove his mettle  in steering the stateship  to  a safe anchor point, anything  bellow that benchmark is a  failure. "

 Speaking further: 

 Comrade Obule    stressed :  "l disagree with  Senator Omo - Agege the DSP on who is to blame concerning the  deplorable condition of  the Niger Delta  region . "

Obule who further decried the lackadaisical attitude of  the governing authority said : President Buhari cannot continue to play to the galary like the austrich because he knows what is happening in Nigeria hence they came  with the Slogan of Change on the platform  of APC  but could not effect any positive change. "

Comrade Obule reaffirmed that all   the blame should go  to   President  Buhari who is the Head of government, because all the promises he  made during their campaign are yet to be delivered midway  into the end of  second tenure.

According to Comrade Obule,  there are clear  reasons why  Buhari should be blamed for any action or inaction behind the under  development  of the Niger Delta. 

He explained saying :  " just take a  look  at what is going on in NDDC  today, nobody has been  sacked  from the board, why? the answer is not far fetched,  thieves, treasury looters  covered with APC presidential immunity , that  indeed is a regrettable reality   which has placed another big question mark on Omo Agege's  innocent claim on behalf of President Buhari."

Obule maintained that, if Mr President was prepared to think outside the box , by now he would have  moved  the Niger Delta region from economic quagmire  by executing  the EPZ Project,  the Gbaramatu Deep Sea Port,  the Warri  and Sapele Ports  which are comatose today  would have been revived by now . to strengthen the economic corridor of the South South. 

Comrade Obule argued that:   "Since Buhari have accepted a position of leadership on the mantra of  change , all we want is that change to a better Nigeria, once you fail to achieve that then you can not blame anybody because you know the problem of this country before your party came with the Slogan of change, then why seeking exoneration instead of owning up that that he is bereft and economically clueless to fix the problems of the Niger Delta in particular and Nigeria in general.

 Comrade Obule noted that President Buhari chose the posture of " Baba Go Slow " and I Don't Care Character over the woes  of the Niger Delta , adding that for acting contrary to the Spirit and  Letters  of the oath of office he took to show equal interest to every part of Nigeria he is to blame for the current predicaments of the Niger Delta.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
