Populist High Chief Wellington Bobo, the Oroupawei of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom, has declared total solidarity with the Ghanaian community in Nigeria, describing himself as not merely a friend but “one of them.”

Chief Bobo made this powerful declaration while serving as Special Guest of Honour at the 2025 Annual End-of-Year Ceremony of the National Association of Ghanaian Community in Nigeria (NAGHACON), held at Delta Carrier College, Airport Road, Warri, on Sunday, January 4.2025.

In a deeply ideological and emotional address that electrified the audience, the renowned Niger Delta elder traced his philosophical roots to Ghana, crediting Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s first President, as the defining influence in his life.

“Even though I am Nigerian by birth, I was ideologically formed in Ghana through my mentor, former President Kwame Nkrumah, who founded the Ideological Institute of Ghana for the promotion of revolutionary consciousness,” Chief Bobo declared.

He described Nkrumah as a fearless enemy of Western domination who boldly resisted capitalism, imperialism and colonialism, noting that Africa’s present challenges stem largely from the continent’s failure to protect visionary leaders such as Nkrumah.

“Kwame Nkrumah saw the future of Africa, but  we Africans  betrayed him and the West got rid of him. That is why Africa is still floating till today,” he lamented.

Chief Bobo went further to express eternal gratitude to the late Ghanaian leader, declaring:

“I am indebted to Nkrumah for life. He taught me everything. That is why I always say, even though I was born in Nigeria, I found heaven in Ghana.”

Describing himself as a product of the Nkrumah Ideological Institute, Chief Bobo also challenged conventional governance models, arguing that true democracy remains largely an illusion, as genuine government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” is extremely difficult to achieve in practice.

Motivated by the love and mentorship he received in Ghana, the Gbaramatu High Chief pledged permanent identification with Ghanaians wherever they are found in Nigeria.

“Because of the love my mentor showed me, I resolved that anywhere I see the Ghanaian community in Nigeria, I will stand with them,” he affirmed.

Concluding his address, he proclaimed:

“Today I am here not just as your guest, but as one of you. God bless Nigeria. God bless Ghana.”

Leaders of the Ghanaian community responded with overwhelming appreciation.

Elder Okuololo Godwin Kofi, National Vice President and Delta State President of NAGHACON; Captain Sackitey Joseph, First State President and Warri Chapter Chairman; Engr. Joseph Aryeetey, First Vice Chairman, Warri Chapter; and Mr. Richard Owusu, Delta State Public Relations Officer, all described Chief Bobo as a father, pillar, and irreplaceable ally of the Ghanaian people in Nigeria.

They collectively praised his consistent commitment, assuring him of their unwavering loyalty and prayers.

“Since you have not forgotten what Kwame Nkrumah did for you, God will continue to remember you, protect you, and use you for the Ghanaian community and for humanity,” the leaders prayed.

The event ended in an atmosphere of cultural harmony, ideological reflection, and renewed African unity — a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy of Kwame Nkrumah and the living embodiment of his ideals in Populist High Chief Wellington Bobo.

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.”
