…As Anwuzia Assures His People Of Quality Representation

Chairman, People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in  Aniocha South Local Government Area, Hon. Prince Mike Okwufulueze, has charged Nigerians not to fall for the lies of the opposition Parties.

Okwufulueze gave the charge during a chat with our reporter, shortly after the Aniocha South campaign rally in Ogwashi-uku, Delta State.

He said their deceit to the masses was a proof that they lack what it takes to rule the country.

He said it was time to deliver Nigerians from the insecurity, unemployment, poor economy and all that came with the Buhari led administration.

The Party Chairman said no stone would be left unturned in ensuring that PDP gains victory in the coming election.

He said with the kick off of the campaign in the new year at the LG, it was a confirmation of victory for the Party at the poll.

According to him, the Local Government Area was the first to flag off campaign with a new Secretariat building and  contribute millions of naira to the LG’s election, which other Local Governments have emulated.

In the same vein, the House of Assembly hopeful in the LG, Hon. Isaac Anwuzia assured the people of his constituency quality representation.

Anwuzia promise to deliver the dividend of democracy to all the communities that makes up the Local Government Area.

He urged the people of Aniocha South to step up their votes by ensuring there is a wide margin in the number of vote for the Party in the coming election.

He admonished them to vote for the Party at all level and ensure that the All Progressive Congress (APC) do not return to Aso Rock with all their unfulfilled promises.

The year 2023 has been described as the long awaited year of change for every Nigerians.

Chairman, Artisans Association  of Nigeria Delta State chapter, Chief Ifeanyi Abanum made this known to our reporter in Asaba. 

Chief Abanum said the year 2023 is the time every Nigerian is expecting for a change in the government of the country. 

He said it was time for the People’s  Democratic Party  (PDP) Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his Vice, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to take over the mantle of leadership of the country

According to him, Atiku and Okowa understands what Nigerians are passing through, narrowing the impact of the state governor on Artisans, he   said that was the reason why they are queuing solidly behind him as a greater future lies for them with PDP.

He said with them, Nigerians would see the light of the day, adding that he was optimistic that they would change the narrative of the country.

The Chairman predicted hope for Artisans after the victory at the polls, adding that the Association would enjoy more from the dividend of democracy.

While thanking God for his mercies in the year 2022, he urged all Deltans not to lose focus as the country would return to its past glory with PDP. 

He urged all Deltans to vote all PDP candidates at all levels as it would be out of place to have an incomplete structure of the Party at all levels.

While wishing them a blissful New Year, he urged them not to relent in guiding their PVCs and also vote the Party which is the light of the nation of the coming election.

2023: PDP’ll Win Presidency Despite G-5 Governors’ Pact With Tinubu – Okowa

By
Hill Nigeria

Vice Presidential Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Governor of Delta, Sen. (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa, said God would determine Nigeria’s next President and not the action of G-5 governors.

Okowa stated this on Friday in Aboh when he led Delta State PDP campaign train to Ndokwa East and Ndokwa West Local Government Areas of the state.

He, however, expressed confidence that the five governors would put the past behind them and work for the victory of PDP in the 2023 general elections.

“God has said it that we the PDP will win this election. Many things may be happening now and people may be asking what about the G-5 governors?

“These governors are our brothers; everybody is important. But what God has said will happen, nobody can change it. So even if some of them decide to support APC, some will still remain with us because there will be division among them.

“The real truth is that I have strong political eyes and I have observed that no matter what they do, PDP will win the forthcoming election, by the grace of God.

“It is only the power of God that can help us to win. So, no matter that the G-5 said that they would work with APC or any other party, we will win.

“We all know that the candidate of APC is not good enough to be our president. Also we know that Labour Party is not going anywhere and we need to sweet talk the party supporters not to waste their votes.

“Those supporters wishing to vote for Labour Party are only indirectly helping APC and trying to reduce the vote of PDP. So, please go and plead with Labour Party supporters to return to PDP and join hands with us to change Nigeria for the better.

“We the PDP are ready to change the so-called previous change. Therefore, everyone should go and get his or her PVC,” he said.

Okowa charged the people to embark on house-to-house, market-to-market campaign to convince the people to support PDP’s rescue mission.

He said the ticket of Atiku and Okowa would bring about economic boom, united Nigeria where the economy would be private sector-driven, and restructuring that would make money available for states and local governments to embark on projects.

“The APC has finished Nigeria. They promised change in 2015 but they have destroyed our dear country with insecurity, hunger and poverty.

“To solve the insecurity challenge, we will amend the Constitution to allow State Police.

“The Atiku-Okowa presidency will restructure Nigeria by allowing states to have more funds and more responsibilities to better the lots of Nigerians.

“We will amend the Constitution to give more powers and resources to states and local governments and we will encourage a private sector-led economy.

“Our economy was doing well prior to 2015, but the APC came and destroyed it again.

“Nigerians are poorer and hungry because the economy is not good and when the economy is not working, there will be no jobs, because it is a good economy that brings industries. 

“We have gone round a lot of states in the country and I can assure you that Nigerians have resolved to sack APC,” he stated.

On the governorship election in the state, Okowa said Chief Sheriff Oborevwori and Sir Monday Onyeme had the capacity to build on the foundation laid by his administration, hence the need to vote for them.

He advised the electorate in the state to be circumspect in deciding the candidate and political party to vote for,  saying that those involved in mace rustling would not rule the state.

The Governorship Candidate of the party, Chief Sheriff Oborevwori, said he would complete the ongoing construction of Beneku Bridge and Phase 3 and 4 of Ashaka road if the Okowa administration could not.

He described his running mate, Chief Monday Onyeme, as a reliable, competent and very articulate professional who would bring his many years of experience to bear on the administration.

Oborevwori took a swipe at APC Deputy Governorship Candidate, Friday Osanebi, who served under him as Deputy Speaker, as an unproductive and unresourceful lawmaker who contributed nothing to lawmaking in his 12 years in the House of Assembly.

“My dear people of Ndokwa East, your son Friday Osanebi who is the Deputy Governorship candidate of the APC is a failed legislator.

“The capacity of a legislator is known during debates in the House and for almost two years he worked with me as my Deputy Speaker, he never contributed to debates and motions in the House.

“You can check the records of the House in the past 11 and half years, Osanebi presented no bill, no motion and no contribution to debates, all he does is to press his phone while sitting is going on,” he stated

The State Chairman of the PDP, Chief Kingsley Esiso, who presented flags to candidates said the party had cure to all challenges confronting the nation.

“I am very happy because APC days are numbered and PDP is coming on a rescue mission to reset Nigeria

“All over Delta state, our people are happy with the Atiku-Okowa ticket because since the creation of Nigeria no Deltan has ever come close to Aso Rock

“But by the special grace of God and with your support, our dear Governor will become the next Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,”

Director-General of the State Campaign Council, Chief Funkekeme Solomon thanked the people for their assurances and urged them to translate their support into massive votes for the PDP on election day.

Some leaders and stakeholders of Ndokwa nation including Chief Godwill Obielum, Chief George Ugboma, Admiral Mike Onah said the people of Ndokwa nation have resolved to give PDP hundred percent votes from Presidency to the House of Assembly.

At Ndokwa East, hundreds of former members APC led by Henry Omem and Okwechie Ambrose defected to the PDP. They said they were original members of the PDP but were deceived with fake promises to join the APC.

“Today we have seen light, we had been deceived with fake promises and they have turned the country upside down. Today, we have come to say no more APC in Ndokwa East,”

Concerned Isoko PDP Faithful Demand Disciplinary Action Against PDP State Youth Leader, Egbo For Anti Party Activities

Youths of Isoko extraction under the name, Concerned Isoko PDP Youth Faithful have called on the State leadership of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP to immediately commence disciplinary action against the State Youth Leader of the party, Mr. Victor Egbo for openly indulging in anti party activities against the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Isoko Federal Constituency.

This demand was made in a press briefing on the 1st of January, 2023, to draw the attention of party leaders and stakeholders on the possibility of breakdown of law and order should the Youth Leader continue in such impunity and lawlessness against the party that puts food on his table.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Amb. Ugagaoghene Ogheneyole condemned the deliberate actions of the State PDP Youth Leader, Mr Victor Egbo whom he said, had veered off the tenets of Party loyalty and supremacy by undermining Isoko PDP with actions capable of ridiculing her much cherished respect for constitutional democracy.

He stated that “It is with utter disappointment that we members of the Isoko PDP Youth Faithful are calling on the Leadership of Delta State PDP to review and take steps to forestall anti party activities in public glare as demonstrated by Victor Egbo when he endorsed the candidature of the SDP flagbearer in Isoko Federal Constituency.

“It is no longer news that Victor Egbo who is currently the PDP Youth Leader, attended an SDP campaign function in Oleh on the 30th December, 2022, where he openly campaigned against the PDP House of Representatives flagbearer by calling on the entire Oleh people to vote against him as our party’s candidate over a campaign altercation between individuals. This is unacceptable.

“It is of common knowledge that the Delta State PDP has it that the PDP Youth Leader has toed this shameful path that calls for disciplinary actions. He has not been able to muster the courage to challenge or reply candidates of the opposition who have been throwing tantrums on Governor Okowa, Sheriff Oborevwori and other PDP candidates, but he was quick to run to SDP campaign rally to pitch the people against the very party that gave him platform as a Youth Leader. For us as Isoko Youths, we take serious exception to these ignoble acts”, he affirmed.

Still furious over why the PDP Youth Leader should play the path that he is currently playing, Ogheneyole allegedly recalled that the same Victor Egbo was the person who packaged a Labour Party faithful to gain cheap popularity by embarrassing the Governor and Vice Presidential candidate with a rejected appointment.

He said that the confidence of the youths is waning with Victor Egbo remaining at the helms of affairs of Youth leadership in the State, insisting that he is a bad omen for the party ahead of the coming general elections.

His words, “We are worried by this disloyal act that tends to bring our party to disrepute. Victor Egbo needs to show cause why he went that low. We are law abiding party loyalists who are only calling for things to be done right as Victor Egbo’s action did not represent the true Isoko spirit.

“We urge our party at the state level to review and evaluate this issue by meting out appropriate sanctions to forestall such ludicrous vetuperation. We remain law abiding and waiting for our party’s response; however, we are always here to defend the ethics and tenets of our party at all times”, Ogheneyole added.

Expressing disappointment, Comrade Yole said that members of the group were  not pleased with his actions, adding that the current PDP Youth leader attended an SDP campaign function in Oleh on Friday, December 30, 2022 where he openly campaign against the PDP House of Representatives flag bearer, Pastor Jonathan Ukodhiko and called on the entire people people of Oleh to vote against Ukodhiko over a campaign altercations between individuals.

According to the Spokesperson, Egbo could not monster the courage to challenge or reply candidates of the opposition who had been throwing tantrums on the state governor, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa, the governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Sheriff  Oborevwori and other PDP candidates but was quick to run to SDP campaign gathering to pitch the people against the very Party that gave him a platform as a Youth leader.

Expressing worry over the disloyal act which tends to bring disrepute to the Party and a bad omen ahead of elections, he said Egbo should be disciplined.

He added that Egbo was the same person who packaged a Labour Party faithful to gain cheap popularity by embarrassing the state Governor and vice Presidential candidates over an appointment.

The Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Fidelity Fortune Group of Companies, Prince Ibe Ozoma has given scholarship awards to 18 undergraduates of Issele-Uku origin to the tune of Two Hundred Thousand Naira (#200,000.00) each to the beneficiaries, amounting to #3.6 million.

The US and Nigerian based philanthropist also gave a consolation sum of Fifty Thousand Naira (#50,000.00) each to eight others who participated in the selection exam but didn’t pass, insisting there was no way he could have left them empty handed without encouraging them to do better next time.

Presenting the cheques to the beneficiaries from different higher institutions of learning, Prince Ozoma revealed that he asked God earlier in life, that if He gave him power to overcome poverty, he would be an instrument of help to people, especially those struggling to create their own paths in life.

He said apart from his regular four years scholarship to new university entrants up to graduation, he instituted this special scholarship in commemoration of Agbogidi Obi Nduka’s coronation anniversary, which is 29th every December

Ozoma urged the beneficiaries to reciprocate his gestures by remembering to give back to society when they start making it in life.

According to him, the screening of enrollees in the coming year would be stricter in order to ensure that every applicant produces evidence of studentship as a paramount criteria.

While feeling sad about the current state of education in Nigeria, he advised parents to always ensure to visit their children at school to ascertain if they are actually there and studying too.

In appreciation of the immense contribution of Prince Ibe Ozoma to the human capital development of Issele-Uku people, HRM Agbogidi Obi Nduka commended him for having a scholarship in his honour and using it to mark his anniversary.

Obi Nduka prayed for Ozoma, asking God and the Ancestors of Issele-Uku to keep blessing him to remain relevant in all spheres of human endeavour for the benefit of humanity.

He challenged the beneficiaries to imbibe the attitude of gratitude whenever they remember that the scholarship was sponsored by somebody who meant well for them and by extension, the community.

Happy that majority of the beneficiaries understood Issele-Uku dialect, Obi Nduka urged them to try to help somebody in future, knowing that they were helped at a point in their lives.

His words, “It is good for the helped to know that he was helped. This scholarship award is as a result of sincere passion for the growth of humanity and community development.

“Prince Ibe Ozoma has narrated to us how he sponsored somebody through school about 25 years ago, and the person is doing well in life but nowhere to be found with regards to being a contributor to the development of others and the community even without showing gratitude to his source of bright life.

“You must be proud that you are from Issele-Uku. You must realise that you have been helped. You must also endeavour to help others in future. When you are helped in life, you in turn become an instrument of help to others going forward. That way, we have more people supporting the development of our people and the growth of our community.

“Once again, I beg you to please, use the money given wisely to advance your education. Congratulations”, Obi Nduka advised.

The highpoint of the ceremony was the presentation of cheques to the beneficiaries, starting with the overall best in the exam, Miss Nwosu Isioma Excel.

The cheques were presented by Obi Nduka, Chief Dominic Egbune (Anya Obi of Issele-Uku), Prince Ibe Ozoma (the benefactor) and Ogbelani Diokpa Isimchei Okonkwo, with series of goodwill messages from Issele-Uku Development Union, IDU National President, Mr. Ofordile Ugeh, Issele-Uku Progressive Youth Association (IPYA) Abuja Chapter, Mr. Felix Okolie, Diokpa Jebose Adigwe, etc.
