By Ufuoma Egbe, In every political season, there are voices that contribute meaningfully to public discourse, and there are others that reduce politics to bitterness, vendetta, and personal attacks. Sadly, Dr. Wilson Omene appears to have chosen the latter path in his relentless and increasingly obsessive attacks against the Urhobo Senator, Ede Dafinone. At 72, a man should ordinarily be enjoying the rewards of decades of labour, spending time with family, mentoring younger generations, and reflecting on the legacy he intends to leave behind. That stage of life is meant for wisdom, dignity, and statesmanship — not endless political brawls…

By Prof. Sandra Duru I came across a beautiful write up by Godwin Ossai about why Senator Ned Nwoko is being envied in Delta North politics, and while I appreciated the passion behind it, I would rather draw our attention to something far more important and productive: why many people genuinely love, respect, believe in, and continue to support him. Politics should not always be about bitterness, propaganda, endless attacks, and sponsored narratives. Sometimes, we should simply discuss results, character, vision, leadership, impact, and the humanity of a leader. Many people still do not fully understand the depth of what…
The Director General of the Technical Committee on Creation of Anioma State, Ogbueshi Godfrey Odogwu, has itemized eight reasons why Senator Ned Nwoko should return to the Senate for second term. 1. He will sustain the gains of the Anioma State creation process and complete the excellent work he started in 2023 with his Senate colleagues to actualize the creation of Anioma State, with capital in Asaba. Discontinuity would not only delay progress, it would reset years of painstaking advancement. So he needs to return and complete the job. 2. Senator Ned Nwoko has a legislative footprint which reveals a…
By Enitan Abel Johngold, MNIPR In every democratic setting, leadership is ultimately measured not by noise, propaganda or political theatrics, but by visible impact, accessibility and genuine concern for the people. In Oshimili South State Constituency, many residents believe they have found such leadership in the person of Bridget Ifechukwukwu Anyafulu, the Member representing the constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly. As political conversations ahead of the 2027 elections continue to gather momentum, one message is becoming increasingly louder across communities in Oshimili South, continuity matters, and effective representation deserves another opportunity. For many constituents, Hon. Bridget Anyafulu…

By Emmanuel Arodovwe, The dictionary defines an inordinate ambition as an “excessive, immoderate or uncontrolled desire for power, wealth or recognition that ignores ethical limits, fairness, or the rights of others. It is characterised by self-promotion, selfishness, and a willingness to use unethical means to achieve goals, often resulting in personal, social, or national crises. ” Senator Ovie Omo-Agege’s insistence to return to the Nigerian Senate, barely three years after he left, is not short of an “Inordinate Ambition”, and unless he is quickly called to order, and the ambition itself nipped in the bud, it may portend crises for…
