The Executive and members of 3rd Force Organization, on Thursday, threw their weights behind the immediate past Commissioner for Works in Delta State,


Chief James Augoye, in his quest to govern the state, come 2023.

3rd Force Organization is apolitical pressure group set up to ensure that credible aspirants are voted into power come 2023.


Speaking when the group led by its National Coordinator, Chief David Omoru, visited the guber aspirant in his residence at Ugbokoda, Okpe Local Government Area of the state, the group promised to deliver him, adding that the visit was to show solidarity and support his ambition.


According to him, Chief Augoye is intelligent, humble, focused, disciplined, accessible and quiet, saying these qualities and many more influenced their decision to throw their weights behind him.


Continuing, he recalled how he worked with former Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and the seating Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and contributed his own quota in securing their victories.

“Every aspirant I have always supported eventually emerged and I can say God willing that you are the Governor-in waiting,” he added.


“Almost all the guber aspirants in the state for 2023 are my friends, but I am convinced that Chief Augoye will emerge and we have decided to support him in this race,” he said.


The group also presented a plaque to the governorship aspirant as BOT member of the organization.



In his response, an elated Augoye, said the visit has not only encouraged him, but given him a higher motivation to go forward, stating that the visit is a sign that God is in the project.


To members of the group, he said: “Don’t be deterred, frightened and discouraged,” noting that 3rd Force already said the visit was in solidarity with him, saying that this means that they have taken a stand already.


Speaking further, he said he is confident of victory because he knows what Deltans need and he is determined to deliver and leave a legacy behind because what he is coming with is a will and not a manifesto so that many years after he has left office, his works will still be celebrated.


Adding: “By virtue of my position as Commissioner of Works, I have gone round Delta State and seen what to do to put smile on the faces of residents in the state.


“As commissioner, when I went to inspect projects, I don t just do that and go home, but rather went to persons in the community to interact with them. I don’t think any aspirant now has the information I have about the needs and yearnings of Deltans.”


He averred that he was confident of success because God showed it to him that he will lead Delta State and that since then, he has been receiving intuition on how to tackle issues of the state.


Speaking further, he said one of the ways he intends to tackle the challenges in the state would be to hold annual town hall meetings.


Those that accompanied Chief Omoru during the visit include the National Secretary, Mr. Kennedy Ubanatu; National Assistant Secretary, Mr. Esso Boniwe; Treasurer, Mrs Rose Ofuani; Media Director, Comrade Valerie Opia, Publicity Secretary, Hon Henry Aluya; Assistant Publicity Secretary, Hon. Clever Brizimor and PRO, Mr. Edger Bagaraye.



Others are Deputy Women Leader, Mrs. Meg Edeogu; Coordinator, Sapele, Engr Boris Boyitie; Mobilization Officer, Mr. Bernard Idisi; Secretary, Sapele, Doglas Sunday, etc.


Supporters of the host on ground to receive the visitors include Chief Chris Ometan, Chief Blessing Erhiawarie, Hon Francis Okan, Henry Iyokere and Vincent Eyakwaire.


Others are Patterson Oboh, and Chief Ejiro .

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.”
