 2023: DSP Agege's Factory Of Lies And Okowa's Unblemished Good Governance In Delta. By Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq #eacgovdelta Good governance is not cheap, it is indeed a herculean task that requires strategic brain storming exercise from time to time, as well as strong moral character and the burning desire to bring uncommon socioeconomic and infrastructure development of state or nation. Okowa's administration brought with it good measures of visionary leadership, transparency, accountability, scrupulous financial dealings and prudent management of state financial, material and human resources.  On the other hand, the bad governance of Buhari administration cum All Progressives Congress, APC, was and still premised on propaganda, blame game, multiple taxations, white elephant projects, reckless borrowings occasioning Nigeria's heavy indebtedness, as well as ethnic agenda, vengeance, intelligent manufacturing or consistent fabrication of lies. Any leader who wants

 Delta 2023: Why DSP Omo-Agege Will Not Be Governor. By Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq. #eacgovdelta  It is a well known fact in Delta politics, that the All Progressives Congress, APC, only exist on social media platforms and on the pages of newspapers, but certainly not on ground, and obviously not having any social contract with Deltans. It is also common knowledge that Delta APC was and still bedevilled by internal leadership crisis which gave birth to several factions; the Ogboru APC-Labour Party faction, to which DSP Ovie Omo-Agege belong from 2015 to 2019, before pulling out to form the Agege faction.  The emergence of DSP Agege's faction in Delta APC, was a deliberate move and strategy to completely relegate his political godfather, Chief Great Ogboru, to the dustbin of political history in Delta Central Senatorial District, and by extension, to weaken and to phase out the Ogboru, Emerhor, the Okotie-Eboh factions, and install DSP Agege as the political monarch and "Emp

By Wilson Macaulay A few years ago the Edo state government wanted to sell the Edo House on 1225, Ahmadu Bello Way and 1225 Bishop Oluwole Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. The Edo State government precisely in 2013, announced plans to sell the house and use the proceeds to develop Edo State. The government promised it will utilise its economic value for the overall good of the people of Edo State. But the proposed sale came under frontal attack by stakeholders who were opposed to the idea because it would amount to selling one of the many legacies, Edo state inherited after the breakup of Bendel state into Edo and Delta. At that time the Edo House was valued at N3.5 billion  and was the most priced asset of the state. With a large army of  qualified Estate Valuers of Edo State origin who were not given the opportunity to partake in the process, many suspected foul play. Others felt that the botched sale of Edo House was designed to meet the interest of a top government official who was

By Wilson Macaulay Warri A member of the International Political Science Association, IPSA, and Executive Assistant to Delta State Governor on Communications, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari's 61st Independence Day address to the nation was tasteless, lacked chronicle of ascertainable achievements, very dry and boring.

By Adeboye Ado  Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has commended the Old Students' Association of Ajowa Community Grammar school, Ajowa Akoko, in the state for face-lifting moribund structures in the citadel of learning.

By JOHNSON EBIGIDE On October 6, 2020 the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) braced up against all daunting odds to conduct the election of the Delta State Council of the union in the state. The election had been thwarted twice owing to the unwholesome scheming of some power brokers in and outside the union that wanted to have their way at all cost. However, with the strong determination and commitment of the national body, led by Comrade Christopher Ikechwuku Isiguzo (President), the election, considered in the history of the NUJ as the fiercest was successfully. At the end of the tension soaked exercise, Comrade Michael Ikeogwu emerged the winner for a second term as the Chairman of the council in the state, beaten his closest rival with a flicker margin that made the outcome a divine exercise.
