The military are stationed at strategic areas not in election polling units. Driving last night from Aba road to Rumuosi we did not see any Police or Military.

Dannygold3790:
Are you really sure you're in PH? For more than 3days now there have been heavy patrol of NA and NAF helicopter all over.. Even as I'm typing now CHOBA is a no go area

How is Choba a no go area? You people should fear God o.

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

Pat Utomi would have been perfect.

coputa:
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.

Did Jagaban empire extend to Edo and IMO states? If Okowa wins and does not up his game, PDP will not find it easy next time.

Simbrixton:
ijaw nko?

Going by the write up Uduaghan represented Ijaw people

21Bandit:
Bleep zoning

Who you think say win 2011 election for delta state...

Zoning, rotation remains the only formula for a united and prosperous Nigeria.

introvertme:
See the way you dey hype the useless okowa.

Keep praising mediocrity.

I am not hyping him or praising mediocrity, just speaking about the advantage of rotation.

Iriruaga100:
Urhobos are not united enough to make ogboru governor. I think isoko in delta south are seriously marginalized.

My maternal people are like sheep without shepherd, they actually have made their choice.

FearGodinall:
. You dey Port ooo bros. If not u for no dey talk like dis.

I am in Port Harcourt, drove from Aba road to Rumuosi past midnight, after going there by 6pm. There are sounds of siren occasionally but no military jet. People should stop spreading rumors.

After these elections INEC should be thoroughly investigated.

There is movement from 4pm

If true, it should be privatized from the very start.

Hector09:
All this zoning of a thing is the reason why, out leaders dont perform

Zoning actually helps, but for Ibori ~ Oghara will not have been developed as it is now. Visited Agbor about 2 years ago and Okowa was practically digging up the old Benin - Agbor road and building a new expressway. By the time he is finished and an Ijaw man takes over, hopefully massive infrastructural development will reach Burutu, Forcados and other places.

Most south south people are disappointed with GEJ because Otuoke and other south south places have little to show for while he was in power. He was erroneously wasting resources building almajiri schools that are desolate today. See east ~ west road now, totally abandoned and deteriorating.

Babacele:
what a paradox but it is not always like that o. Okowa should have been in APC, if you understand.

I don't understand o.

Babacele:
APC bringing Ogboru is a masterstroke . In a fair and free election, he is the candidate to beat but a part of me just like Okowa.

Is Ogboru popular amongst the Ijaws? Will the Urhobos deliver on block voting?

Jorussia:
my brother the guy's mention tire me o.if Na true him dey talk,PDP for just kukuma give the ticket to the supposed young itsekiri man,abi Na lie i dey talk?

You are in order

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

Bros you 3 much

hollywater:
I represent Delta State.Vote for Okowa the road master for continuation.

What happened to Ughelli ~ Asaba road project?

Why is it still uncompleted many years after?

Warri ~ Abraka ~ Agbor?

Dino98:
Nigeria is truly backward...

You can never see the army used like this anywhere else.

The most annoying part is that, its not even on the presidents direct order(although he must have asked them to do whatever his party members ask them to), but an ordinary Minister for Transport. Like the Nigerian Army is being ordered around by a Minister. So shameful?? Where in the world can u see a thing like this?? That a cabinet member can use the Military to do whatever he wants.

Sometimes I am ashamed to be a Nigerian...its like we live in an alternate Universe, where things like this are applauded.

The international community will not see this one now. This will go along way affect the elections. I use myself as an example....prior to the presidential elections, I had resolved to exercise my right to vote but after what happened during the presidential in Rivers State and the huge military presence, coupled with all their actions on arrival to PH, I have decided to sit this one out....not just me, my entire household. And I am sure it is the same thing in most families too. My life is very important to me, I'm not about to waste it cause I want to vote.

So well done to Buhari, whoever is using the Army in Rivers State and also to the Nigerian Army....This is the better NIGERIA we prayed and hoped for.

Please go out and vote if its a walking distance from your house.

TruthinAction:
All politicians divert public fund for vote buying. It's not a news.

True

So much fake news, have not seen any military jet over the skies of Port Harcourt.

Jgovt:
Do you know why Uduaghan lost!! Greed.. Manager pleaded with Uduaghan not to contest so that a Young Itsekiri man could take over but the Greedy man refused,

Say it again

Is there is a relationship between "voter suppressed areas" and "increase in per human capital development"

Many people especially we the "educated" don't just go out to vote in the south. Why for instance will I drive my car across about 3 military checkpoints to go and vote in my PU over 10km away?

Government has to look into this issue of creation of PU in residential areas and subsequent transfer of records to a closer PU.

Ebbunwa:
It's really sad that the military has been compromised and degraded to the lowest level. Normally, seeing a soldier in his full attire and arms in the streets should be worrisome. But no, it's a common thing here in Nigeria, no day passes without seeing them severally, some even collect roger on the roads, really pathetic.

Never seen any soldier collect roger on the road or are you referring to police?

Is it not Nigeria again? everything is politicized.

The rigging in Delta is always massive in the riverine areas, who ever has the upper hand there is going to win the day.

Olofintoto:
Under a free and fair election, Seyi Makinde of PDP should win Oyo State. Everywhere is Seyi Makinde like you said. I always imagine why his name is everywhere in Oyo State, maybe because he's a grassroot politician and he's touched contributed to people's welfare in the few years.

Everywhere in Oyo or everywhere in Ibadan.

He should go to higher courts.

There are many sides to the story, despite the soldiers presence, things will still happen both for and against.

Babacele:
and you know Ogboru is not a ' yeye' candidate. The only thing that can save PDP today is if Urhobos no play tribalism. period.

The average south south man does not know how to play tribalism because of kobo kobo. We too like money and refuse to see beyond the short term.
