We have an unwritten political agreement in Delta State that each Senatorial Zone should rotate the Governorship seat for 2 terms each. But apparently Urohobos like the Hausa-Fulanis don't seem to want to buy the idea that Delta belongs to three major groups who battled to procure that State from the grip of the Binis when we were together as Bendel State. Infact if not for Miriam Babaginda, General Babaginda's wife Delta would still be a colony for the Binis to dominate and rule. That said, from 1999 till date Delta North and South Senatorial Zones have always supported this two terms agreement except the Urohobos who want to produce Governor every four years. In 1999 to 2007 when an Urohobo James Ibori was Governor, the other two zones supported him twice. When it was the North of Delta South/ Uduaghan from 2007 to 2015, Delta Central/ Urohobos still brought Ignoring to run against Uduaghan. Uduaghan lost in all of Delta Central except Oghara because of Ibori's influence. The same thing happned in 2015 when it was Delta North's turn to do their 8 years, again they brought out Ogboru and massively voted for him. It took the agreement between Delta North and Delta South to keep Delta Central in check. I think this same will betrayal will happen this Saturday, but I count on Delta North and Delta South which have majority of the votes combined as against Delta Central to keep the Central in check today. That consensus between Delta North and Delta South to maintain zoning is the secret why Ogboru/ Delta Central has lost all elections since 2003 till date. They will have to wait till 2023 when it is their turn, u cannot jump queues when u don't have the power to fight the backslash.

Just like pockets of Itshekiri and Ijaw still dey Delta Central.

I think Okowa is trying his best, given the fact that his party(PDP) is pulling him back with their "share the money" policy, Okowa could have done better.
My greatest fear for Apc is that if they win Delta state, the state may be an extension of jagabans empire.
PDP still remains the best party for the state.

hahahaha.proudly an Edo man but truth be told oshiomonle is worse than anini

Otega foresee this and suggested Pat Utomi but his opinion was rejected.

[So why dont you people compare the development of delta state to lagos state. quote author=UNDPnigeria post=76483677]

Wonderful piece.

Delta North as an entity is known as Anioma, be they Ika, Ukwani, Ndokwa, Oshimili or Aniocha.

fratermathy:


Urhobos didn't throw Isokos to Delta South. They opted to be there. They felt that Urhobos will swallow them up in Delta Central and so they believed Delta South will favour them best. Unfortunately, they did not quickly realise that they were going to be sandwiched by two politically savvy ethnicities who still consider them an appendage of Urhobo.

Didn't PDP used a Fulani man for presidency yet they lost?

21Bandit:


Bros i laugh you...

You don go any LGA council before sit down with them for 2 hours.

You don go any government schools follow the teachers yarn

You know any civil servant may retiree last year..

If you do you won't say such

Emedu:


PDP was able to pulled the number they got from North because they presented Fulani man like Buhari. I am completely sure that PDP would have struggled to get 25% in any core northern Muslim state if they had presented a southerner.

garfield1:

I just hope so.something tells me its time for ogboru to be governor,i have this nagging feeling that he will carry the say.but ill not expect much incase he loses as usual.

Emedu:
Omo Agege actually spoiled the plan by Emerho. Emerho was clamouring for Delta North candidate but Omo agege was indirectly used by the state governor to bring Ogboru which is from Delta Central. Had it been a Delta North candidate was presented, Okowa should have been preparing his handover speech by now. Forget APC or PDP. Delta votes base on candidate.

OkunrinOloro:
Wait o, I saw a message from INTERPOL in Thailand and the Philipines that they are looking for someone with this name: Babacele. I wonder what I ought to do?

Babacele:
you coward have come with another moniker but I'm still here and I have never changed my moniker! Since you are interested in my vomit, go ahead and enjoy yourself !

asuustrike1:

Uduaghan indeed the worst governor ever produced in that state.

masterpiecer:


Thanks to ur instincts, it's a different ball game this time I around.

At least by Monday u will look for this post to confirm everything. Ogboru na Delta state Governor

21Bandit:



Leave them unless they rig the election as they normally do for the past 16 years

OGBURU is coming

OkunrinOloro:
But it is true! Why would I make up a lie about such a thing? I don't even know you from Adam. It's a pity I don't have the screen shot to prove what I'm saying, but if you don't believe me, write to INTERPOL and find out for yourself. I think it was something to do with romance scam

BuhariAdvocate:
But why a criminal decide their future over there?its shall never well with Jonathan that gave this man state pardon.

Babacele:

Emedu:


I am telling U what you don't know and Truth.

professorchuks:


U dnt have sense I swear. Ibori was urhobo, what did he do? Uduaghan was urhobo, did he pay salaries? So because okowa is Anioma, u want to kick him out. Bra u dnt have sense seriously. Okowa removed 5mil, so u want to die. U are too stupid for real

Jorussia:
why didn't PDP give the ticket to a young itsekiri man?

OkunrinOloro:
I don't get it Since I love who?

Babacele:
stop pretending. do you want her phone number? I can give you if it ll make you feel alright.

GEJDHERO:
Ogboru that won in only his LGA in the Presidential election.Maybe he will be the Governor of ABRAKA state.
