Racoon:
Arise TV is the only TV station practicing true investigative journalism in Nigeria today.They will literally and really fry your ass. Waiting for the day Tinubu will be on air there with Rufai Oseni.

Jagaban has his own TVC Station, so why go and give free ratings to Arise TV, or make money for Nduka Obaigbena, when he can keep his expenditure in house, and still get as much publicity?

Trinitycian:
God bless our incoming president, Atiku the Unifier.

APC sai mun bata wuta

Faro, sachet pure water in a bottle.

slivertongue:
Shettima is just looking for attention from senior men.

When you have been endorsed by the commander in Chief, who else’s attention does Shettima require?

Thinkam:
I will say it again, Inec just declare Atiku winner, don't waste scarce funds

Atiku is coming

Even you, don’t believe the nonsense you purportedly scribbled?

Macphenson:
Good you admitted not having facts, pls always try to get facts before drawing conclusions.
He said he paid a. million pounds then cash in 1996 when he was 35.

He has once said the sultan was his tenant in Nsukka while the sultan was schooling. This simply means Peter Obi built a house in Nsukka as a student and rented to other students.

Pls how else do you define intelligence.

It is his father’s property, did he not inherit his wealth, just like I did?

My Father has property adjacent to my university? Other students or lecturers are the tenants, Big deal.

azpekuliar:
That year BAT still dey one corner for Chicago dey sell im heroine small small while patiently waiting for Abacha to die.

Ipobian toddler, you were still running around with your Superman pant rolling tyre as your vehicle, when Nadeco was fighting General Sani Abacha In 1996.

This same Pqndora Pete that was more interested in buying property then, when others were fighting for democracy, now wants to be President over those that went to battle?

It will never be well with the Oblivious Obidients.

oneolajire:
Nonsense .

Insulting Nigerians by supporting Atiku.

And coming to ask for another forgiveness in 2026!

May Peter Obi retire Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku so that your godfathers and poli-thivians will go into political oblivion.

The Waiver mercenary presidential candidate?

If you want to make a wish, at least try & be logical.

BSdetective:
Are the Indians going to vote for him?

Might be lobbying for The High Representative to India based on his trading background?

ElSudani:
Really? This is putting the cart before the horse. If this is even going to happen you have all sorts of diplomats to do it. This is like a US presidential candidate visiting one foreign embassy to the other, quite strange.

Pandora Pete is just showboating for his gullible Obidients, the Jim Jones of Naija politics.

ganisucks:
That should tell you, that he has already won and thus has began his shadow government. After the formality of elections, his shadow cabinet will transform into his kitchen cabinet and administration.

Shadow cabinet indeed filled with ex pdp runaway members to The Labor party, the likes of Doyin Okupe, Barrister Okonkwo & Co?

socialmediaman:
If this were Atiku or Tinubu, you would’ve seen a whole entourage of people and politicians, big WASTE!

The difference is very clear, if you can see beyond tribal bigotry!

If you were not an Ipobian turned Obidient, I may have taken you seriously.

Eriokanmi:
By the time APC leaves office, only God knows what would remain to develop our economy. This is the most fraudulent and corrupt party I've ever seen.

During covid-19 lockdown when everyone was locked up in their homes globally, a vessel of crude was sighted on Chinese waters and malami was fingered in that deal. That case has died a natural death.

The minister of humanitarian affairs was still disbursing school feeding money even at the the time when the schoolchildren were all with their parents during lockdown. The case had died naturally.

The accountant-general at the ministry of finance was said to have embezzled over 100bn naira. He was only suspended. The case is neither here nor there.

Peter Obi exposed them during an interview on CNN that those indulging in oil bunkering are government officials. The following week, they discovered series of illegal pipelines mounted on the main ones and diverted elsewhere for illegal crude loading and pilfering.

This is the government that came and said economy will be improved, corruption will be fought and security would also be improved but failed woefully in all the 3.

Each time I talk in disapproval of Tinubu, urchins would be calling me unprintable names but they've forgotten that....

Yorubas crave integrity
Omoluabis detest lies
Omo kaaro oojiire kan ko gbodo se jaguda
Tinubu said he schooled in osun on his wiki page...where in osun?

He cut 16 good years from his age, just because he wanted to fulfill his lifetime ambition, still they didn't see anything bad about that.

Someone ushered into his residence bullion vans filled with money yet, they overlooked all that. Where's our decorum? Where is our conscience?

I'd never be in support of such a person. If that's their real description of omoluabi, I'd never be a party to it.

Only those whose conscience is dead would.vote APC next year. I wanted to buy dollar today, they said its 845 naira..was that how they met it? In order to defend evil, urchins would ask you how much was usd before 1999, is that a point? A party that complained that 250 naira to one dollar wasn't ok in 2015 is leaving dollar at 850 naira. I can't even fathom this honestly speaking.

If only in your ignorance, you were aware that this Glencore issue of bribing Nigerian officials happened under Pdp and Jonathan?

Chinjo2:
PDP will go ahead with the election without Wike and his co travellers. If PDP loose let it loose gallantly. PDP is not part of Wike's empire where he bullies people around

They have already lost.

NwaMamaIwota:
I'm watching you

All eyes on me, living life like a thug politician, the Jagaban Borgu of Chicago.

GOFRONT:
Hmmm

Tinubu must have taught these ones how to stash Raw Cash in the burdillion.

And as for that Kogi politician of Ankap constituency, his wings should be clipped now by the EFCC if not, his own would be worse than that of BAT the Grandmaster of the Bullion vans in the Burdillion.

Ole barawo........Set awon small small Hushpuppies

Because only Oblivious Ipobians turned Obidients are not aware that a bullion van is used for conveying money, not for storing.

ObaOfYorubaLand:

Maybe na your Papa Brother school for University of Chitown, Illinois, then come Nigeria become the former Treasury for Exxonmobil?

phorget:
You are the blind follower bro, jagbaban can only lead your likes to destruction.
I am not an assliker like you, I am a leader in my own lane.

Like those 3 blind pdp mice, Peter Obi, Ahmed Datti And Doyin Okupe that ran to the Labor Parry?

joewychampion:
TINUBU IS A THIEF, A FAKE IMPOSTOR WITHOUT PARENTAL BACKGROUD, MY FATHER CANT BE A THIEF LIKE TINUBU, I WILL DISOWN HIM WITH HIS ILL GOTTEN MONEY. BATSTARDS

How can Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a Yoruba Muslim be the Father of an Ipobian Jew?

Abi na other story of Moses & Pharaoh?

phorget:
NO! but non of my family is vying for any post simply because we are all satisfied with the little we have...

I'm sure that you don't even know the way to Tilumbu“s house let alone you being his relative but here you are acting as if you are in anyway important to Tilumbu.

Good for you, Since you and your peeps lack the vision to lead, then you must be lead like sheep following their shepherd Jagaban.

Why are you scared of mentioning your state?? You pained irritant

Only an oblivious bush child, will put Lagos State and the Big Heart State in the same sentence.

Don’t try & change the narrative, Lazy thing, please tell me 1 commodity that any Delta State commodify board exported for foreign exchange in the last 7 years.

Upon all the petrol dollar turned to Naira received by Delta State from The FAAC, nothing to show for it?

Name 1 established Industry in Delta State and what they export for foreign exchange?

observanc1:

Go to Corporate Affairs Commission Abuja to find out under the freedom of information Act, couldn’t tell you what businesses Atiku, Obi or Kwankwaso own also.

PREMIUM TIMES reviews the performance Governor Okowa in the past year amidst dwindling revenue occasioned by the fall in global oil prices and pipeline vandalism.

Achievements:

Education: The government reconstructed the state-owned technical colleges in Agbor, Ofagbe and Sapele. This was informed by its desire to promote technical and vocational education, which is at the core of its educational policy.
Job creation/Youth Empowerment: The government trained a total of 1,027 youth under the Skills Training and Entrepreneurship Programme (STEP) and made provisions for them to start their own businesses. Another 256 people were trained under the Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurs Programme (YAGEP).
Mr. Okowa’s administration also introduced a new programme – Graduate Employment Enhancement Programme (GEEP), designed to cater for unemployed graduates. The programme will run on a pilot scale. So far, the government has created over 17,000 private sector jobs.

Road infrastructure: The government constructed 55 roads projects covering over 148kilometres (including 113 kilometres of concrete-lined drains) at a total cost of N27.2 billion. Between June and November 2016, a further N2 billionwas committed to the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation and completion of 29 roads across the state. Some of the roads are Oteri township roads, Ughelli, Oleh/Emede/Olomoro road, Owhe-Ologbo/Abbi road, Idumu-Ughoh road, Agbor and Ejinyere/Orode road, Orerokpe. Others are Alisimie-Ozanogogo road, dualisation of Nnebisi road, Asaba and Sapele road from Amukpe junction to AT&P.
Health: The government focused on infrastructural development of hospitals and primary health care centres as well as the procurement of drugs and cutting edge medical equipment in major health care facilities in the three senatorial districts. To this end, the government is paying attention to the Teaching Hospital at Oghara while the Central Hospital, Asaba, is near completion.
Environment and Urban Renewal: Construction of Storm Drainage System in Asaba to end the perennial flooding in the town. Other key towns and cities are also receiving attent



You're a blind BAT

Delta State, the number one state for bribing journalist, nothing to show on ground for the so called road master Governor, you telling me what a paid journalist said?

It is former saw mill worker like Michael Diden aka Ejele, or thugs like John Nani that makes up Okowa’s Political entourage?

No wonder the idiot went with sheriff former loader @ Effurun motor park, to make him Governor of the Big Heart State?

People like you are disillusioned, just like Ifeanyi Okowa, who is a very useless man.

Thisdaylive news paper:
Title; In praise of Ifeanyi Okowa.
Date: 8th July, 2022.


few months ago, in the course of a business meeting in China involving the Delta State government and private sector partners, a matter involving some key statistics came up. While the participants were still grappling with the numbers, the state governor Dr Ifeanyi Okowa who led the state delegation had already finished with the mental calculations. He shared the results with the other participants and added some personal recommendations based on the numbers.

“I was quite surprised”, said one of the participants at the event, a UK-trained oil and gas expert. “He was so fast, ahead of the rest of us”. Then he added: “But I understood when I did some research on him. He is quite brilliant. You know, he became a doctor at 22”.

Yes, Governor Okowa is not lacking in brain power or academic accomplishments. His records confirm this. As many sources have confirmed recently, he had the second-best result in the Higher School Certificate Examination in the then Bendel State in 1976, then obtained an MBBS in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Ibadan, graduating in 1981 at the age of 22. Thereafter he embarked on a public career that has spanned both statewide positions and the Senate.

It is therefore no surprise that as governor, this brainy but very humble politician has notched up significant achievements which have inspired his admirers to regale him with some traditional titles and nicknames as a tribute to the landmark feats of his administration.

One of such nicknames is “Road Master”, a reference to the numerous completed and ongoing road projects across the state under his watch. Road construction has been a major component of Okowa’s agenda because the feedback from communities across the state after his election in 2015 was loud and clear: “we want roads!”. The records show that Okowa who also goes by the traditional title of “Ekwueme” (the one who speaks and keeps his promises) has taken the mandate very seriously.

The Okowa administration has significantly advanced urban-rural integration and transformed urban centres in Delta State with 799 civil infrastructure projects spanning 1,577.8 kilometres of roads and 908.8 kilometres of drainage channels. This is in addition to 21 bridges constructed in different parts of the state. These projects have boosted trade and commerce and enhanced the ease-of-doing-business environment across the state, and increased the capacity of the private and public sectors to operate and expand economic opportunities.

Another landmark is the reinvigorated primary health care system and the establishment of a contributory health insurance scheme with over 900,000 registered clients which has attracted positive attention across the country. This is a significant accomplishment because it aligns with the universal health coverage goal of the World Health Organization, for all people to have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship. Depending on the specific details and capacity of enrollees, the Delta scheme includes the full range of essential health services, from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care. The progress made by Delta State is impressive considering that the National Health Insurance Scheme at the federal level still battles many challenges.

Youths are rightly a central part of Okowa’s vision and programmes. Apart from being the inheritors of tomorrow, they are also critical to achieving sustainable peace in a restive Niger Delta state like Delta. To keep them meaningfully engaged, the government has established several skill acquisition projects.

They include the ICT-Youth Empowerment Programme (ICT-YEP) and the Rural Youth Skill Acquisition Programme (RYSA). ICT-YEP is aimed at providing necessary ICT skills training to enable self-employment for start-ups that will be based in Delta State. At the end of the training programme, participants are provided with starter packs. RYSA is designed to take skill acquisition programmes to the rural youth population with the objectives of creating income-earning opportunities, stemming youth restiveness, discouraging rural-urban drift, and growing the local economy.

Another initiative, the Tertiary Institution Entrepreneur Programme (TEP) is designed to produce work-ready and self-employed graduates, to mitigate graduate unemployment significantly. Through these and other job and wealth creation programmes for youths, the Okowa administration has created over 100,000 direct jobs and over 1,000,000 indirect jobs.

To overcome the funding challenges that shredded state, federal and state government budgets in the wake of the global oil price crash of mid-2014, Okowa instituted policies to mitigate shortfalls, manage available resources better, and boost revenues. These included a host of tough measures intended to eliminate the deficit and restore the health of public finances. Cost-cutting measures to plug wastages/leakages, drive fiscal discipline, induce prudent management, compel strict adherence to due process, and reduce operating expenditure were introduced and implemented. Revenue limits were respected and due diligence prioritized.

ThisDay owned by Nduka Ogbabaeina? all this paid for article by the Delta State Government?

No matter how much make up you put on a pig, it still remains a swine, keep deceiving yourself, trying to speak on behalf of that useless Okowa.

Nonsense pdp rugged riff raff, close your eyes, then count to 5, what do you see, pity James Ibori had to learn the hard way, for embracing this ungrateful serpent to be Governor.

Iykoto86:
oga,muslim muslim ticket in nigeria after buhari will never happen.

The inconsequential ones, will always purport to have an opinion, Empty Barrels will always make the loudest noise.

Qatar2022:
E pain you so much

Na you e suppose pain pass, the Oblivious Almijiris waiting for Mr President to come and make Nigeria blissful for their lazy asses.

Honjoshy4u:
You're pained..... Is it Okowa that send rodent to eat chairs in Aso.rock? Or snake to swallow money in your useless APC lead government.
You should be ashamed of yourself supporting a party that has useless naira.
Okowa is far better than your sick candidate.
Sen. Dr. Okowa:
Graduated as the youngest/ best medicine and surgery Student in University of Ibadan.
Former:
L.G chairman
Commissioner
Senator
Now:
Governor

A medical doctor that has seen it all.

Delta is working.
Which state are you from Let's compare.
You're ashamed of your state and root....why??

Ifeanyi Okowa is a big time disgrace, we expected way more from the incumbent failure, he is even making Emmanuel Uduaghan look good.

God has punished Abubakar Atiku with always making a bad choice, the real Raila Odinga of Nigeria.

Don’t try & change the narrative, Lazy thing, please tell me 1 commodity that any Delta State commodify board exported for foreign exchange in the last 7 years.

Upon all the petrol dollar turned to Naira received by Delta State, nothing to show for it?
