Tantoo: Why dont you elighten us, because I am yet to see the good coming out of Delta

Cannot help you, as long as you don't see anything good coming from delta. Why do you give a hell about the state then. Go worship your APC tin gods.

Tantoo: Nigerians with the same lazy political line. Join PDP because they are more likely to rig you into office at all cost, not because they stand for anything. Why do we as a people persist on this lazy political route. Generations upon generations fall into this lazy groundnut oil and rice politics.

Why dont you, if you feel Utomi is the right person come out and back him and support him, rather than wait for some PDP crook to rig him in.

Nigerians need to understand that they shape the politics they want in the country, that they have the power to demand and vote in those who they are confident will serve thier needs

PDP does not rig you to power any less than your APC parties. Nobody wants a central mosque built in delta for APC leaders. Nobody wants the impression of delta living and adminstered under the command and control of Tinubu. You can hate it all you want, PDP is delta and delta is PDP

Tantoo: Funny enough the states that are doing well are ALL APC, surely they must be doing something right


Delta state under PDP, has been stretched, strained, raped and pilfered. I will take my chances with APC

Who told you Delta state is not doing well. Your internet propaganda can only go so far. Please provide one sector where any APC state in Nigeria is doing better than delta.

omanzo02: PDP is in every home.

Every village and office. To be against PDP in Delta is for you to be an outcast. Just ask The great.

omanzo02: Now that PDP is reforming itself is the best time for him to jump ship, Pat is an intelligent and have some integrity, wonder what he is doing in the midst of those dejected crooks trying to keep head above water.

You are very correct, this is the best time for Utomi to join PDP and use the Ibori campaign line of 1999 New breed politicians for delta. It worked well against Ibru.

Tantoo: And what is PDP?

That is a question you should ask yourself.

guass: [size=28pt]THE GOVERNORSHIP SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE URHOBOS, IJAWS, ITSEKIRIS AND THE ISOKOS, NOT THE DELTA IBOS WHO HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THE CAPITAL.[/size]

PDP for all intents and purposes, is trying to zone the gov's office to the Northern zone. There's nothing wrong with that. IBB choose the capital not IBOS. The political leaders of the Northern zone must now present a candidate the other two zones can support. I dare say, Utomi does not have a chance in that process.

omanzo02: He should join Dpp or PDP, then we could consider him, delta don't want a Tinubu stoog in delta.

I don't support DPP, but Utomi will be smart to try his luck in PDP. As bad as PDP is in Delta, APC will be worst. Imagine Delta under APC leaders. The same ones running around Rivers State.

Orlando Owoh: It is disgusting how Ibo, even the ones from Delta State reason. Just because Pat Utomi is APC they would rather vote for a person from another ethnic group. These are the same people that turn back to cry that they are marginalized. Though an Itsekiri, I will vote for him.

Here comes this shameless liar again, I have told you, severally on this forum go and look for your father in Osun

ndu_chucks: It is a well known secret that any Igbo leader of repute in the past 50 years, from Ikemba Ojukwu, Zik, Okorocha, to Pat Utomi, have deep roots in the North, and would be Northerners under normal circumstances. Pat Utomi himself was born in Kaduna, just as Ojukwu was born in Zungeru.

Pat Utomi has proven that he indeed learnt about leadership from the right environment. He had his primary education at St. Thomas, Kano 1960-62; Our Lady of Fatima, Gusau 1962-1966; where his character was well formed.

We need leaders like this to take over governance all over the country, regardless of which party they belong to. I believe the people of Delta state are not as unsophisticated as those who allowed Soludo to be denied the right to contest in the last Anambra election.

why your insults

One_Naira: Did You Miss Where It Mentioned Anioma Elites Are Behind Him. As Long As The Elders Are With Utomi, No Anioma Individual Would Dare Compete Against.Granted There Might Be Some Anioma Sons And Even Daughters More Qualified Than Utomi But I DoubT I've Heard OfOne More Educated And Clean Record Like Utomi. That's About The Main Reason I Like The Guy. He's Corruption Level Is Very Low In Comparison To Most Nigerian leaders.
Regarding To His Popularity, That Can Be Equally Fixed. All He Needs To Do Is Start Campaigning Now And Lose The Party He Is In. Hopefully, He Won't Be Be Like Ngige That Started His Campaign While Still In Lagos. Utomi Might Surprise You, His Eyes Might Open Before The Election. The Obstacles Against Him Might Clear Out. If Not , Well I See His Career Joining The Dustbin With Okorocha AMA Amaechi

Between Dr Okowa, Victor Ochei, Sam Obi the Aniomas political giants are known in the state. I have to disagree with the Elders supporting him. Please don't forget, this is delta state. Utomi will not win an election against those three names in the Northern zone. About not being corrupt, I will leave that discussion for a later day. Just the name APC is enough to send 90% of the voters in Central and Southern zones running away.

rej00: if he wants to be elected he should come to delta state lets know him very well

I hope his people just saw your comment. He will never win an election from Lagos. No matter how many great articles the press writes about him.

One_Naira: Don't Count Him Out Yet. Under APC Utomi Has Little To Zero Chance.
Hopefully, Him Eyes Go Open Before 2015.

The Delta Northern zone has too many big names waiting to enter the gov's race, Utomi chances are almost zero. Also Utomi is only a super star of the SW press,nobody knows him in the central zone or southern zone of the state. The era of Lagos based deltans remembering they come from delta state during the elections season is pretty much over.

Is there APC in delta state?

I am surprise, I never thought he do it. Nevertheless, Delta is a solid PDP state and his attempt will end like Keyamo.

Mayor_of_Lagos: Shut up! Are you a Nigerian or a Biafran? Make up yo gadd*m mind. Yeye

You coward bas55rad what has that got to do with F KKthe drug addict.

You can claim whatever you want. Nigerians are waiting to see you spend the rest of life in prison.

One_Naira: They have. They've brought that SW type of politics to SS. Mschewww. I hope the ediot rots in prison.

I hope he sits in prison through out this case. The man committed another crime while on bail.

Jigga_man101: Apparently you don't even know about the Liberian war. I have friends that survive that war. They tell me story about the war and horrendous things that Nigerian soldiers did. If you knew about the war you would know that war ended when America troops arrived when George bush asked Charles Taylor to live. Smh like a typical Nigerian always glory chasing.

During the war where did most Liberians seek refuge not Nigeria. In fact anytime something bad occurs in any african country Ghana is the country where they seek refuge.

God bless the Nigerian army. I believe , we still provide the Minster of defense/Army Chief for Liberia. We also fund a good percentage of their security budget.

It is well with the great GEJ

I have to pick WORKS. Seeing is believing.

I am counting on mint becoming true. The current leadership in the country really understands the big picture.

Asked your Otta father, if Jonah has balls or not.

This mad man almost killed Chinda on the floor of the house. He has finally, successfully killed two people. This is the kind of politics, we have been trying to avoid in SS.

THE Rivers State Police Command said it had arrested the Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr. Chidi Lloyd, for the alleged murder of his kinsman, Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo and a police sergeant, Urang Obediah.

A statement made available to The PUNCH on Thursday night indicated that Lloyd was purportedly arrested on his way to join the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, in his private jet in order to escape justice.

The statement sent via e-mail by the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, specified that Lloyd knocked down Obediah while pursuing Ejeuo, identified to be his political opponent.

Lloyd, who was still standing trial for his involvement in the fracas that took place in the State House on July 9, 2013, was said to have rammed into Ejeuo’s Passat car with a bulletproof vehicle and killed him (Ejeo).

The police command pointed out that it had initially thought it was an auto accident until Lloyd relocated to another hospital, “conscious of what he did.”

“The Rivers State Police Command has arrested Hon. Chidi Llyod of the Rivers State House of Assembly for murder of police Sgt. Urang Obediah and Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, his kinsman and arch political opponent.

“He was arrested on his way to join Governor Amaechi Rotimi in his private jet at the Airforce base to escape justice.

“Hon. Chidi Lloyd on December 30, 2013 while pursing his political opponent, knocked down Sgt. Urang Obediah, in spite of his effort to stop him, rammed and killed him and went ahead to crush the Passat car of Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo was driving and killed him.

“Initially the Police thought that it was a mere accident, which ought to have been a manslaughter. The Commissioner of Police directed ACP Aliyu Garba, the Area Commander Metro, to visit him in his hospital bed and commiserate with him, conscious of what he did, Chidi Lloyd relocated to another hospital.

“Facts emerged that Chidi Lloyd drove a bullet-proof vehicle while pursuing his political opponent, late Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, and he (Lloyd) knocked down Sgt. Urang Obediah, who died on the spot and (Lloyd) moved ahead to smash a political opponent in his Passat car who equally died instantly,” the statement reads.





The statement added that late Ejeuo, who hailed from the same place with Lloyd was believed to be in the PDP camp led by Elder Felix Obuah.

The statement also indicated that the Leader of the House allegedly escaped from the hospital where he was being guarded by four policemen.

However, a top government official told our correspondent that the claim by the police that Lloyd tried to join Amaechi in his (Amaechi) private jet in order to escape justice was a blatant lie.

It will be recalled that Lloyd, who presented himself to the Nigeria Police after a video clip showed him hitting a member of the House of Assembly, Mr. Michael Chinda, with a mace on the head, was charged to court on a six-count charge, including attempted murder.

Lloyd was later granted bail in order to receive medical attention after sustaining injury during the July 9, 2013 free-for-all in the chambers of the State House of Assembly.

Garri the 1st: 1. Most of those being trained are Niger-Delta Graduates not militants. The training is being coordinated by the Office to the Special Adviser to the President on Niger-Delta(Hon Kingsley Kuku).

This program has become the greatest investment in the Nigerdelta by the Nigerian State. The level of success is simply remarkable.

Mayor_of_Lagos: They are stockpiling weapons and military hardwares with that money. They are contracted to monitor, patrol and secure coastal waters. Well, this is an opening for them to smuggle weaponry and military equipments into their creeks. Why are foreign oil investors divesting their assets and winding down ownership? It is no longer profitable to do business in a security risk envinronment.

Amnesty should be a one time settlement. Why are there earmarks in our budget to buyout terrorists? How many of them are there that we need 63billion yearly to rehabilitate them, and what are we rehabilitating? Its a coy..they are stockpiling!

another sore loser

Kingsley Kuku, the 3,600 young Nigerdeltans added to phase 3 program is a slap on the face. The Urhobos and Itsekiri communities need to be given their fair share in this program. Talk with the right channels and kindly double that number. There were more than 15,000 applicants, why were only 3600 admitted.
