 The Wailing, Sinking Delta APC And Esiso Mastery Of Mega Rallies. By Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq #eacgovdelta Immediately after 2019 governorship election and the landslide re-election victory of the governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, the fragile and epileptic Delta State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, started  gasping for breath.  The APC lost all bye-elections, all council elections and have also been losing members to PDP on a regular basis. The reason is not far fetched, the APC is known for blame games cum abysmal performance anchored on gross incompetence and mismanagement of the nation's resources. It failed woefully to keep promises made to Nigerians in 2015 and 2019 respectively. President Mohammadu Buhari, in 2015 while addressing newsmen at a Presidential campaign rally said it was inhuman to make Nigerians pay N97 per litre of fuel and assured that if voted into power his administration will fix all refineries and ensure that Nigerians pay N5

By Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq #Eacgovdelta The coast is getting clearer as to what the future holds for 2023 governorship and other aspirants vying for elective offices under the Delta State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The State party leader and governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, had assured party faithfuls and Deltans that candidates shall emerge strictly via free, fair and transparent party primaries. The governor's pronouncement on Saturday 22nd January at PDP Mega Rally in Asaba, put paid to speculations that the governorship candidate may emerge through consensus or from a list of recommended aspirants by lobby groups within the party working very hard to earn the enviable reputation of king makers in the ongoing 2023 governorship politics in the state.
