Ngozi Okonjo Iweala For Governor Of Delta State 2015 by Nobody: 8:37am On Oct 10, 2013
What do you think? Delta State has had it very bad in the highest office of the state, i believe Ngozi with her wide range of experience in Governtment and Meticulous management of finance is more than fit to govern a rich but poor state like Delta.
With the presidency backing her, the Gov't house in Asaba is all hers.
Re: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala For Governor Of Delta State 2015 by Afam4eva(m): 8:41am On Oct 10, 2013
Has she indicated interest in being the Governor of Delta state? I think she's more than qualified but could see the office as a demotion.

Congrats.....its finally Anioma's turn to produce the next governot.

Ngozi is not a Deltan,so she cannot contest guber election in that state.

Anioma should better wise up this time around. I expect the likes of Iweala and Utomi to be instrumental to Anioma producing a governor.

She's from Delta while her husband is from Abia.

I doubt if uduaghan will allow her replace him. Politics is all about interest and I don't think it is in
uduaghan best interest for her to become governor.

How's the office a demotion? As the Governor of Delta state she'll preside over a bulky budget of 2 billion dollars annually. That's like the 4th largest Economy in Nigeria!

Have you forgotten Great Ogboru?
Okonjo should not waste her time and resource unless she rigs the Election.
Ogboru all the way

I suspect that Uduaghan will present his deputy if he wants to honour the governorship rotation. But i don't think that deputy governor is good enough. I've heard him speak and i don't think he's up to scratch. If Iweala decides to contest, she'll definitely have backing from Abuja and Uduaghan will have to respect that.

I never said it's demotion. All i said is that she migh see it as one. Do you know that Ngozi is currently the prime ministers of Nigeria?

That's why i said she needs the 'president's backing' although i doubt if Jonathan would want to loose someone of that calibre from his Cabinet, although Soludo would be just the perfect replacement.

Like the saying goes 'it's best to leave the stage while the ovation is loudest', she wont be there forever, and as things stand now there's no guaranty Jonathan would be re elected in 2015, if jonathan looses what would she do? Go back to the world bank and start afresh?

I don't think so. Uduaghan already has his men from Delta North like Senetor Ifeanyi Okowa and others eyeing the governor seat. I don't really think GEJ will want to be involved in Delta politics since he is interested in 2015. its not in GEJ interest to go against the wish of uduaghan because he has more to lose.
Re: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala For Governor Of Delta State 2015 by Nobody: 9:20am On Oct 10, 2013
I think 2015 is anioma's best chance buh I think Sen Ifeanyi Okowa is the likeliest contender and the only one capable of winning but Gej seems to be pushing for minister of niger-delta godsday Orubebe who is ijaw,however I believe okowa would emerge ,ogboru would lose as always...either way I just want devt in my home state..we are too rich to be doing so 'poorly'
Re: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala For Governor Of Delta State 2015 by Tuntheycr7: 9:25am On Oct 10, 2013

Lets wait and see

If Jonathan dares supports Godsday Orubebe then he's spoiling for trouble as this is the turn of Ndi Anioma. As for Great Ogboru, this is the wrongest time for him to contest.
Re: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala For Governor Of Delta State 2015 by Nobody: 9:37am On Oct 10, 2013

Even if orubebe is backed by GEJ,he is not sufficiently grounded in the state pdp to get the ticket, also almost every major stakeholder in the state seems to agree that its time for a governor of anioma extraction...I strongly hope an anioma person emerges,then I can proudly call myself deltan

That's a Professor of Law we're talking of here.
That is more than ''scratch'' and a perfect grounding to be more articulate on issues than you postulated.
The only issue with him i think is the old age weariness and probably some health concerns.

Spoiling for which trouble??
Who is the candidate ''Ndi Anioma'' or whatever that means is presenting to Deltans?
If it is Ifeanyi Okowa ,then i believe Deltans are going back to their own vomit.
That name has been ringing bells in Delta state corridors of power since 1999.
What are his antecedents and the scorecard that will sorta push his manifesto to voting Deltans.
NOI is the best the ''Ndi Anioma'' can present as the moment. The so-called Anioma Elders should concentrate on lobbying and presenting a credible candidate that stands out from the inept lineage that has been milking the state rather than shouting Gubernatorial marginalisation all the time.

Abia state is equally in dire need of Good leadership, i think governing Delta state would be more tantalizing and enticing to her as their more capital over there.

Adopted Home or Her Royal roots?
Before we start argueing where her allegiance lies.

I think she's more proud and vocal about being a Deltan 'princess''.
Re: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala For Governor Of Delta State 2015 by Ngwakwe: 10:27am On Oct 10, 2013
You know it's really impossible for her to be nominated to represent Delta State in ministerial appointment.

Abians vaule her very much and remember, her Children's State of Origin is Abia State and will never be Delta State.

What has that woman achieved that people are asking that she becomes the governor of the state, she has been finance minister twice and I personally can not see the achievements, Delta state people should vote for a man who has empathy for them not someone who will drop them once the world bank job becomes available.
