The Movement for Stronger Delta, MSD wants to state categorically that we are extremely disappointed with the very simplistic and naive profiling of the qualities and characteristics of Nigeria’s interested in the Vice Presidency position, by Arise Television, especially as it relates to the excellent personality and impeccable political reputation of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State. But while we will not dwell much on this seemingly peevish and mischievously provocative profiling, not just of Governor Okowa, but indeed of those mentioned in consideration for the VP position in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP by Arise TV. Let us state,…
By Jackson Ekwugum My attention has been drawn to a not-so-distinguished statement by the Senator Ovie Omo-Agege Campaign Organization, which was signed by failed presidential spokesman, Ima Niboro. Typical of the APC and their penchant for lies and vile propaganda, the statement claimed that Delta State has received “over N770b” in receipts from the Federation Account without visible developments. It is pitiful, immature, and shameful when supposed leaders make unfounded and unguarded statements in their desperate bid to score cheap political points. It is on record that Delta State, under the watch of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, has reached new heights…

This corrective journey began with the election of President Muhammadu…

By: Shehu Bashir Esq. In my entire life, I have never seen any individual who has suffered such mischievous conspiracy as Asiwaju has. Worst still, this evil conspiracy is coming from those he had been so kind and generous to. Is it now a crime to be kind? What a life, what an irony. Asiwaju is the most politically savvy and administratively intelligent, yet, the most envied, he is the kindest, yet, the most hated, he is the most generous, yet, the most vilified, he is the most detribalized, yet, the most calumnied, he is the best of philanthropists, yet,…
