Comrade Mulade, an Ijaw activist from Gbaramatu Kingdom, expressed disappointment at some Ijaw political office holders from Delta State over what he described as a docile attitude, unproductive representation and selfish politics of amassing wealth to keep recycling themselves and family members in political offices without attracting development to their communities.  He also  challenged Ijaw politicians/lawmakers to lobby the Senate and House of Representatives to site a Federal Polytechnic at the Bomadi/Patani axis and persuade relevant institutions and bodies to attract development and gr

By Wilson Macaulay  In my own opinion, some elites are just scared of Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi being a man that can't be controlled like a robot. They call Gbagi all sorts of names without even knowing who he is. Some say he doesn't pay his workers. Some say he is too harsh. Some say he is too aggressive, and so on. But I think some of these people calling Gbagi all these names don't really know him.  While some believe the negative stories about Gbagi, and some elites deliberately spoil his name because they know they can't control him as a robot. There are also some who can't get free money from him, hence they decide to spoil him all over the place. Gbagi being elected a governor of Delta State is for the good of Deltans and the State, in my own candid opinion. He is a successful businessman. If a man like Gbagi can use his personal money to provide business infrastructure for people to do business, then he will do better when in Government House. Apart from Felix

The EAC in a goodwill message to Mrakpor asserted that the elect of God cannot be stopped from fulfilling destiny and that the conspiracy theory of detractors failed woefully through divine intervention and for lack of evidence to substantiate the spurious allegations cooked up by a busybody petitioner. He described AG Mrakpor as a peace loving gentleman who pays detailed attention to his multifaceted assigned responsibilities as Chief Law Officer of the state, saying that at 50 years of age, Mrakpor has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is indeed a legal icon

 *-Zik Gbemre* In the future interest of our Clan/kingdom,Urhobo and the entire Delta State, I strongly believe there is need for Ughievwen illustrious Sons and Daughters to join hands together and support and pray for Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi to succeed in his governorship aspirations.  For the fact that Ughievwen is gifted with such a great man, is something that we should be proud of and take advantage of, to have one of our own there in the Delta State Government House. We must unite and give him all the necessary support as one of  our own.  I am seeing the hands of political detractors who are trying to pull Gbagi down by working against him and his political ambition. As such, we should pray for him at these trying times when detractors are trying to pull him down.  I am not a politician, and I don't belong to any political party. And I, Zik Gbemre is not looking for any political relevance or appointments in government at any level. I will not even accept any political appoin
