VinnyBaba:
Stop Hyping Tinubu Plz or any Lagos Governor Plz sad

With Lagos Being the Economic and Entertainment HQ of Nigeria, Every Governor is Bound to Perform! undecided

Back to ur Question, James Ibori Developed our State in his Tenure,
Same with Emmanuel Uduaghan who Renovated Govt primary and Secondary schools Across the state, Organised the Transport system, etc..

It is this Kpomor Lips man, Ifeanyi Okowa dat Ruined the state. angry
Don't be ridiculous. Every Deltan know it's James Onanefe Ibori (who happens to be the only Nigerian Govenor that has been jailed in other country for corruption) that's the best Governor. Uduaghan and Okowa are absolute failures.

Ibori started Delta buses and taxis at the end of his tenure and his successor couldn't not continue it.
Tinubu started BRT and made sure he was succeeded by competent Fashola who not only continued but improved what he started.

The money Delta State makes and get from their 13% derivatives plus their normal monthly allocation is enough to make Delta compete with Lagos.
But currently even Kano and Kaduna are much developed than Delta..

With Delta being the State with the highest monthly allocation, 13% derivatives, and IGR, plus their gigantic loans, every Governor is bound to perform..

Name infrastructure Tinubu start and finish it in Lagos? Developer my foot
Fashola: Tinubu layed the foundation for the new Lagos. He made the blueprint I used.
Even other States Government (including opposition states) are copying his blueprint.

A nonentity from social media: It's a lie Fashola. You did it yourself.
Tinubu didn't lay any foundation for you. You didn't use any Tinubu blueprint.

We are not here to market or attack Tinubu. The issue here is the failure of governance in Delta State, let's stick to it. What really is the problem with Delta? Is it that the people don't demand good governance? Perhaps PDP knows head or tail the people have no choice but to keep voting them? PDP has Delta mumu button?
Delta state’s style of politics is a major factor why…


It’s thuggish politics and any person with the higher propensity for thuggery and violence always have his/her way.
Plus the people don’t demand good governance mostly because they have been stifled for a long time due to the thuggish politics and prefer just to focus on their private businesses.

I think delta state practices a similar brand of politics with rivers state. But the difference been that the people are not as docile as deltans so they still get compensated with a few projects once in a while. In delta revenue seems just to be shared among the political class simply because they know no one will oppose. Just remain loyal and get your share.


My opinion though!

The problem with my beloved Delta state can be seen in comments already... Tribal bigotry mixed with politics.

Most people peddling "Ibori is the best gov. r from his side.. and he focused majority on his side, infant that's what all Governors have been doing since 1999, that's why Asaba the Delta state capital is getting Basic amenities for the 1st time under Okowa, when her counterparts have long had them.

At times i go wan vex, but it's like the people get what they deserve; our average Govs. That's why people (mostly from his side) still dey twerk for Ibori, the man that laid the foundation for the problems Delta state is facing.

I totally disagree with you about the tribal bigotry part…

The state is very diverse and I think deltans are very tolerant of each other.


Also most parts of the state are on the same rate of being underdeveloped and no part can truely and sincerely claim to be marginalized. I think this is the complaint of most because you can’t even point to a part of the state that can claim being developed. Or that enjoys some basic government facilities or even presence.
Asaba the seat of government is no exception. Warri the commercial nerve center an eyesore!


So which part has been marginalizing others?

Na delta state they suppose truely call no man’s land. All man to him self…

Why is this…?

Can you share your reasons for saying so?
He's an old tired horse. He's contested elections since 2003 and quite frankly, he's gotten rigged out again and again at least twice I know of because I voted for him. This year he decides to run again, clinched the LP ticket and went silent. By means of divine Providence, Peter Obi came on board LP and has taken the party to mainstream politics- heights never ever expected!

By means of that, GRV is currently a front runner in Lagos guber elections, Hembe in Benue is making waves and many others in Plateau, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Enugu and even kaduna but Ogboru has been very silent. As Obidient as Delta state is, he can't even ride on the Obi wave. Peter Obi came to Delta state, campaigned in 4 cities across the 3 senatorial zones in the state and Ogboru was absent.

What does that tell you? Is that a man willing to win elections? Perhaps he got the ticket to negotiate Sha... I'm very sure of that. Now in absence of a viable option, it's come down to Sheriff and Omo Agege and as terrible as the later, he's a far cry better than that loquacious illiterate garage tout, that Okowa is trying to push in as governor of delta state. Sheriff will never be governor of Delta state; God forbid bad thing. If he emerges, Delta will be worse than Abia state.

Ok I get your point…


But maybe he is just broke, broken and tired like someone pointed out.

But okowa really messed up trying to bring in a known tout through the back door.

After all his 8 years of misrule the legacy he wants to leave behind is another catastrophe.

I think it’s up to deltans to vote in the best this time. Their fate is in their thumbs.

Ogboru is no longer in Labour Party. He is now the APGA candidate. He is a serial decampee. Yes he may had been rigged out in his contests against Uduaghan but I don't think je ever had anything to offer in the first place. And after so many races and decamping, he is completely worn out and should not get near govt house
