  By Jim Derek You know the guy that goes by the name "Basil Okoh?" Yeah, he's a well known OJA RADIO without wire, a regular paid propagandist, and a shameless one for that matter. The likes of FO cannot match Basil's manipulative skills in the thriving business of blackmailing politically exposed persons.  Basil's mischievous crafting capacity derives strength from Lucifer's inner temple. It resides in his bloodstream, an evil ordination within Satan's 33 degrees. Basil hates the immediate past governor of Delta State, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa with perfect hatred, and that includes everything and anybody that is associated with him. His Excellency, the Governor of Delta State, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori is on Basil's black book because of his political relationship with Senator Okowa.  Basil's bitterness dates back to late Tony Obuh's governorship ambition in 2014. Basil was already penned down for a juicy political appointment as a cor...

  Secretary of Ijaw National Congress of the Americas, INC-A, Ebikeme Amafini, says Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, should retool his peace-building antecedents and prioritize truth to address political tensions that have for decades claimed  lives in Warri.

The governor's statement is widely perceived as evasive or betrayal of helplessness on the Warri intractable crises. Despite damage control efforts by his handlers, Oborevwori's comment still draw widespread criticism. But Amafini advised  that "leadership driven by truth would rather make Oborevwori garner more votes in 2027 and possibly guarantee him Noble Peace Price on Warri's intractable crises". Tensions continue to mou...
