Okowa is the leader of Delta APC.

He is the Godfather of Gov Sheriff Oborevwori and all the Commissioners. cool

Only a FOOL will try to Challenge him. undecided

Even Ibori know this, that's why he has decided to hide jejely in one corner. embarassed

Okowa simply went to APC to Checkmate Ibori, Omo-agege Ned Nwoko and even Tinibu.

In 2027, If he there is PETER OBI tsunami again, he will still make Obi win the state like in 2023. cool smiley
Get your facts right and stop these beer parlour analysis.

Okowa joined APC to avert arrest and probe from EFCC,he has no voice and nobody will listen to him, he's already a spent force.

Sheriff Oborevwori joined APC in order to secure his second term.

The rest decampees are insignificant as most of them followed their leaders as is characteristics in Nigeria politics.

Okowa is a serial betrayer,one who betrayed the entire south south region

The state governor is the de facto leader of the party in the state.

There's is no cause for alarm because elective positions will be shared to compensate some party members.

Omo agege which is the major contending force will likely be going back to the Senate and he might be rewarded with the Senate president.

Festus keyamo although not a formidable force in the party will also be given a ticket to the house of representatives.

Ogboru, Ibori,Okowa, James manager will be kingmakers in the party in the state.

Okowa decamped to avert arrest and probe by EFCC.

I see Ned nwoko, decamping to another political party to pursue his political ambition for governor of Delta state.

PoliticsFBI,DEA Seeks 90-day Extension To Release Report In Drug Case Involving Tinubu by Celestialsword(op): 9:50am On May 02, 2025
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on Thursday informed a United States District Court that they required an additional 90 days to produce investigative reports related to an alleged drug case involving President Bola Tinubu dating back to the 1990s.
In a Joint Status Report submitted to the District Court for the District of Columbia, the two federal agencies, alongside the plaintiff, Aaron Greenspan, made the request to extend the timeline.

The case concerns Tinubu’s alleged involvement in a Chicago drug ring in the early 1990s.

However, Greenspan, an American legal transparency advocate and founder of the platform PlainSite, rejected the 90-day extension and instead proposed a 14-day deadline for the FBI and DEA to produce the relevant records.

The District Court, presided over by Judge Beryl Howell, had previously ordered the agencies on April 8, 2025, to search for and process records relating to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests submitted by Greenspan. The original deadline for the agencies to submit their report was May 2, 2025.

Greenspan filed 12 FOIA requests between 2022 and 2023, seeking information about a Chicago-based drug ring in which four individuals, including Tinubu, were allegedly involved.

Naija News reports that these requests also sought documents on other individuals linked to the case: Lee Andrew Edwards, Mueez Abegboyega Akande, and Abiodun Agbele.

Previously, both the FBI and DEA had issued “Glomar responses,” refusing to confirm or deny the existence of the requested records. However, the court ruled that such responses were inappropriate in this case.

In the Joint Status Report filed on May 1, 2025, the FBI and DEA informed the court that they had begun searching for non-exempt portions of the requested records. They anticipated completing their searches within the next 90 days.

Despite this, Greenspan argued that the agencies should produce unredacted versions of the documents they had already identified by next week.

He also emphasised that the remaining records should be provided within 14 days, accusing the agencies of failing to provide a valid rationale for why the document search would take up to 90 days.

He signed Greenspan’s proposal for a 14-day extension and two lawyers representing the defendants, Edwards Martin Jr. and Jared Litman.

The report reads, “Aaron Greenspan (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the only remaining defendants in this case, respectfully submit the following joint status report proposing a schedule to govern further proceedings, pursuant to the Court’s Order of April 8, 2025 (ECF No. 47).

“Pursuant to the Court’s order, the defendants FBI and DEA must search for and produce non-exempt records responsive to the plaintiff’s FOIA requests (FBI Requests Nos. 1588244-000 and 1593615- 000, and DEA Request Nos. 22-00892-F and 24-00201-F).

“The FBI and DEA have initiated their searches for responsive, non-exempt, reasonably segregable portions of records requested by the plaintiff and anticipate completing their searches in ninety days.

“Given the years-long delay already caused by the defendants and the fact that many responsive documents have already been identified, the plaintiff proposes that the FBI and DEA complete their searches and productions by next week, or, at the very least, produce unredacted versions of the already-identified documents by next week, with the remainder completed in 14 days. The defendants provide no rationale for why their search for documents should take 90 days.

“The plaintiff intends to request reimbursement for his costs: the filing fee of $402.00 and $38.22 for certified mail postage, totalling $440.22.

“The defendants propose that the parties submit a joint status report on or before July 312025 to update the Court on the case status following the agencies’ search for responsive, non-exempt, reasonably segregable records requested by the plaintiff. The plaintiff proposes that they submit a joint status report on or before May 31, 2025.”

PoliticsPolitical Showdown Looms Over FBI's Tinubu File Release by Celestialsword(op): 6:55am On May 02, 2025
The All Progressives Congress on Thursday dismissed critics and opposition figures anticipating damaging revelations from the planned release of files by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration on President Bola Tinubu’s past, labeling them “clowns.”

On April 12, The PUNCH reported that a U.S. court had ordered the FBI and DEA to release files on Tinubu by May 2. The court maintained that the records—linked to a drug trafficking investigation in Chicago in the early 1990s—have been publicly available for over 30 years and pose no new threat to the President’s standing.

This order followed a ruling by Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., who directed the agencies to search for and process non-exempt documents in response to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by American legal researcher Aaron Greenspan.

A copy of the ruling, obtained on Sunday, indicated that the FOIA request related to a narcotics ring allegedly involving Tinubu and three others: Lee Andrew Edwards, Mueez Akande, and Abiodun Agbele.

Despite growing anticipation, the Presidency insists there will be no surprises in the files.

President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed that government lawyers are reviewing the U.S. court’s order but emphasized that the documents are unlikely to offer any new revelations.

Greenspan, who runs the transparency platform PlainSite, had submitted 12 FOIA requests between 2022 and 2023 seeking information about the early 1990s Chicago drug case.

Until recently, the FBI and DEA had issued “Glomar responses”—neither confirming nor denying the existence of related records. But the court ruled these responses unjustified, requiring the agencies to release any relevant, non-exempt materials.

With the release expected Friday, anxiety has intensified across social media platforms, where Nigerians have spent the week speculating about possible outcomes.

Key opposition figures have weighed in on the matter, expressing a range of expectations.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, through his media aide Paul Ibe, said Nigerians are eager to see the report’s contents.

“We will wait and see. Nigerians have been anxious ever since the issue was first raised in 1999 by the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi. Now they want to see the full report. It’s understandable,” Ibe said.

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) also reacted with caution. Its National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, urged Nigerians to temper their expectations.

“There’s a Yoruba proverb that says a groom expecting his bride doesn’t need to stretch his neck. We should read the report before judging its impact. I think many people may end up disappointed—it may not contain anything spectacular,” he said.


But the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, took a different stance, warning that the release may expose the true nature of Nigeria’s President.

“There’s anxiety because of the President’s efforts to keep the FBI files secret. I pray, for his sake, that the report is not damning. A conviction would violate the Constitution and disqualify him from contesting the election,” Osadolor stated.

He added that the report should be a wake-up call for future leaders on the importance of transparency, describing it as the “hallmark of credible leadership.”

Osadolor questioned why a man alleged to have spent years concealing past investigations would still seek re-election in 2027.

“I salute the U.S. government for deciding to release the documents. Nigerians deserve to know if the President has a clean, dark, or complicated past. That knowledge will shape national perception and determine what actions should follow,” he said.

He further called on the Nigerian judiciary, security agencies, and electoral bodies to “do the needful” if the report contains incriminating evidence.

Meanwhile, the APC’s National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, dismissed the opposition’s reactions as melodrama.

Describing critics as “comedians,” Basiru emphasized that Nigerian laws—not foreign files—determine who qualifies to be President.

“The FBI is not part of Nigeria’s governmental structure. Many of those in the opposition are clowns. They are suffering from post-election trauma,” he said.


“They’ll need psychiatrists. Nigerian law is clear on presidential qualifications. No one can be removed from office unless it’s in accordance with the Constitution.

“If they want the presidency, they should prepare for 2027 and meet us at the polls. For now, they’re just a bunch of comedians.”

PoliticsOborevwori's Defection Ignites Leadership Battle In Delta APC by Celestialsword(op): 11:48am On May 01, 2025
The defection of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the All Progressives Congress (APC) has set the stage for a potential leadership tussle within the party. His move comes just days after the collapse of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) structures across Delta’s 25 local government areas and wards into the APC.

Despite Oborevwori’s high-profile entry, Ovie Omo-Agege, the former deputy senate president and the APC’s gubernatorial candidate in 2023, insists he remains the leader of the ruling party in the state.

The APC constitution does not explicitly define leadership at the state level. However, governors traditionally assume control, leveraging their political influence and access to state resources. This convention now places Oborevwori in a strong position to steer the party’s affairs in Delta.

Omo-Agege, who has been managing the party alongside Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation and aerospace development, maintained his leadership claim despite not currently holding any elected office.

Party insiders acknowledge that while Omo-Agege has played a significant role in keeping the party structure intact, it is customary for sitting governors to become de facto leaders upon joining the APC.


“Currently, Omo-Agege is not holding any political office; he is just saying he remains the leader of the party in Delta State because he has been holding the party together with Festus Keyamo in the state. We all know that the governors are the de facto leaders of the party. They usually dictate the terms,” Vanguard quoted a party insider.

Meanwhile, Keyamo has publicly recognised Oborevwori as his leader, signaling a shift among key figures within the party towards aligning with the governor’s leadership.

“Today is the day the Lord has made in Delta State. Finally, finally Delta is APC! Thank you, Mr. President for your leadership that has attracted the best to our Party. Thank you, my leader & Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori for your foresight and courage in taking this bold decision,” Keyamo said in a post on X welcoming the defectors last week.

While welcoming the governor and the former PDP members into the APC, Omo-Agege emphasised unity and collaboration, assuring stakeholders that the transition is being handled with care.

“In line with outcomes of deliberations with the national leadership of our party, the Progressive Governors Forum, and Delta APC stakeholders, I wish to assure all stakeholders that any issue arising from this development is being carefully considered and managed with prudence and foresight, in the best interests of our party and our beloved state.

“Let us embrace this development with unity, understanding, and a shared commitment to the progress of Delta State and Nigeria,” Omo-Agege said in a statement on Sunday.

PoliticsFormer Military Governor Dies At 84 by Celestialsword(op): 5:46pm On Apr 30, 2025
A former military governor of the South-Eastern State – Akwa Ibom and Cross River States – Major General Paul Omu is dead.

Omu died at the age of 84 on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, his family said in a statement released on Wednesday, April 30.

The statement signed by Oghenekome Omu on behalf of the family said the late General, a native of Igbide community, Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State served Nigeria and his community in various capacities.

“Major-General Paul Ufuoma Omu was a family man, patriot, statesman, soldier, and community leader whose life was marked by unwavering commitment to the service of Nigeria and his beloved Isoko Nation,” the statement said.

Omu served as the military governor of the then South-Eastern State from July 1975 to July 1978 when he implemented the construction and rehabilitation of core infrastructure in the state. He also laid the foundation for various reforms in the state.

“In 1985, General Omu was appointed Commander Command and Staff College and a member of the Armed Forces Ruling Council, the highest ruling body in Nigeria.

“In the political landscape, General Omu played a key role in Nigeria’s transition to democracy. He was appointed Chairman of the Constitutional Conference Commission in 1994, helping shape the constitutional discourse that would influence Nigeria’s return to civil rule. His leadership, insight, and patriotism earned him national respect and admiration,” the statement added.

He was appointed as the chairman of a 10-man governing board of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) by former president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in September 2009.

Survived by his wife Senator Chief (Mrs) Stella Omu, six children, siblings and numerous grandchildren and relatives, the former Military governor was the president of the Isoko Development Union (IDU) between 2014 to 2015.

PoliticsUK Confirms Suspect Involved In Arms Deals Not Serving Soldier by Celestialsword(op): 1:46pm On Apr 30, 2025
The British High Commission on Wednesday refuted claims circulating in the media that a serving member of the United Kingdom Armed Forces is involved in an alleged illegal arms procurement operation in Nigeria.

In an official statement released by the commission, a spokesperson for the High Commission clarified that the individual identified in recent reports is not currently serving in the UK military.

“The individual identified in recent Nigerian media reporting is not a serving member of the UK Armed Forces,” the statement read.

Further information provided by the Commission revealed that the individual previously served as a junior rank in the UK Armed Forces Reserves and has since been discharged.

It was also confirmed that the person held no commissioned officer status during their time in service.

Citing obligations under the common law and the UK’s Data Protection Act, the Commission stated that it cannot release additional personal details regarding current or former personnel.

The statement added, “The individual identified did serve as a junior rank in the UK Armed Forces Reserves but was discharged.

“We have a common law and Data Protection Act duty to protect the personal details of our current and former employees and are therefore not able to release any additional information in this matter.”

The PUNCH reports that a British Army officer, Major Micah Polo, an Itsekiri by origin, was allegedly recruited by one Collins to procure weapons and ammunition intended to fuel tribal tensions in the oil-rich region.

However, DSS operatives from the Delta Command were said to have foiled the move on Friday night and arrested the arms supplier during a covert exchange near Asaba, Delta State.

During the operation, over 50 AK-47 rifles, six pump-action shotguns, and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition were confiscated.

Polo, on the other hand, was intercepted in Lagos as he attempted to board a flight to the UK, while his associates were apprehended in Asaba during the operation.

A delegation of Niger Delta stakeholders and a coalition of civil society organisations on Monday stormed the British High Commission, demanding a thorough probe of the indicted British Army officer.

They also begged the British government to cooperate with the Department of State Services to uncover Polo’s collaborators, some of whom are reportedly still at large.
