CAN COVID-19
STOP THE UPRISING DUST FOR THE 2023 GOVERNORSHIP RACE IN DELTA STATE?
We must
not allow the Pandemic destroy our remaining socio-economic and political
foundations when we have to sharpen our future using our own hands by deciding
who rules us with purpose of true democracy which have been our system of
governance since 1999 when democracy returned to Nigeria. We shall look at a
positive comparison on individuals who should be on the news and branded for
the seat of governor in the oil rich delta state of Nigeria.

Johnson 1st:
As the
coronavirus hits the world with its deadly killing spree in Europe, the Americans
and the middle east, Africans have not been spared in anyway because the virus
is also taking the largest part of its economy which wasn’t even doing great
before the drastic human oppressor took over the nation of China thereby
leaving the continent of Africa with the breakage of her GDP falling down to
the trash cans with the barest minimal as almost all the financial institutions
across bounds have suffered losses that are imaginable. Take for example Nigeria’s
stock market standing as the biggest losers in the African financial breakdown.
In the case
of the coronavirus in Nigeria what a lot of people think when asked to make comments
on the way forward as the virus ravages the globe will hear as their comments
will shock you so much that one would be thinking that the outbreak of the
covid-19 in the land is coming as part of the iniquity of the sins committed by
some of our political leaders in Nigeria who personally decide to loot the
nation and keep their people in abject poverty with so much nonchalant attitude
of the will to do the needful for the good of the nation.
With
everything happening so far it is very clear to see that covid-19 has become a
business of looting for our politicians instead of looking out for ways to
combat the virus from spreading across the nation.
It is said
on the news that individuals and organizations donated and are still sending
donations to the federal government and the presidential task force have not
been able to find solutions to the issues of the virus spreading like wildfire
across Nigeria. On the case of the donations we have heard words against one
another.
We cant even tell a true picture of who donated what and what the
funds were used for, just like the Abacha loots that have refused to stop
coming from time to time without information on what the monies were used for
as said by the blind and focus less administration of president Buhari.
As the
coronavirus continues to hold grounds in Nigeria and providing a looting mechanism
for politicians across the nation, politicians have started laying foundations
on the 2023 general elections with the aim that power must change hands this
time from the APC and PDP into a fresh political arrangement where quality
leadership could be felt since the dual of the ruling party and the strongest
opposition party couldn’t deliver the nation from poverty and economic
instability over the years.
Most of the well-known
politicians in Nigeria have started pitching their tents in some political
associations we have seen gathering themselves at social engagements even
before the most dreaded coronavirus propelled president Buhari to lockdown the
federal capital city of Abuja, Lagos, the center point of this administration’s
bleeding economy and the south west state of Ogun respectively.
If you look
at our kind of politics in nigeria you would understand that we are not
interested in quality leadership and good governance where the rule of law and
the respect for democracy and its norms are considered even by the authorities
who are expected to sell its citizens with the values. That’s why I have always
said in my writing series that Nigeria can only work when we have leaders that
have the will power to do the needful. Nigeria needs willed powered individuals
to come up to contest in elections so that the best of hands can be in the best
positions to redirect the likes and values of democracy as a system of
governance we all have decided to use in running Nigeria as a nation on the
move for the best of all to its people.
All we have
heard so far in these poorest democratic leadership in Nigeria since 2015 when
President Buhari was said to have won the challenged election is money sharing
from the north to the south to the east and west without seeing anybody who can
show anything for it. Even at this covid-19 pandemic period where Buhari’s
minister said they shared almost twenty billion naira without any evidence that
the poorest of the poor citizens got the money when they can not even provide
voters cards or national identity cards to Nigerians for close to five years
now, we don’t know how the money was shared nationwide.
Our question here is that if voters cards and
the national identity cards couldn’t be given in years how come they found a
method of sharing money to millions of people in a few days. I think this is
the time where the national assemble must stand up to its reason of creation.
The looting is this administration is getting to the nose of the world at this
time of so much pain.
In this
series I would like you to see my possible political elements that can march
the battle for the number seat in delta state where I know would spark up the
political movement in the forth coming 2023 general elections in nigeria.
Delta is a
place where it will all start from because the shocking graduation of the
deputy senate president into office shouldn’t be underated. Senator Ovie
Omo-agege as our deputy senate president wouldn’t just seat down and look as
others try to overturn the political table in delta for the 2023 struggles.
It is said
that delta state is the only state that power move around the people in a
rotational style with the aim of the hands of its former governor chief James
Ibori over the years.
So
therefore, the battle for the soul of delta is practically expected to stir in
the hands of the underlisted personalities rising from the said rationed
location in the Urhobo speaking part of the state.
We shall
outline these possible individuals are try to briefly x-ray them in this series
with a conclusive version in our subsequence series which shall surely drop
once in two weeks for our basic political drama and elucidations.
Number one
on our list is the time in, timeout governorship lion Chief
Great Ogboru, APC founder in delta as a whole Olorogun O’tega Omehor,
Chief Barrister Ovie Omo-agege the Deputy Senate President himself who
is the new found love for the Urhobo kingdom and finally one Dr. Rufus Eseoghene
Ebegba who is the present Director General and CEO of the National Biosafety
Management Agency NBMA, a man who is said to have everything a responsive governor
of delta should possess.
These four men are the men whosoever should look out
for in the forth coming 2023 delta governorship elections because delta state
is a state where two years before an election a possible winner is seen in all
its ramifications. As we ride on I will be able to unveil to you every
strength, weakness and vision each person holds as the aspirations of the
people moves closer to the door steps of these great deltans for the good of Nigeria.
The name
listings of the possible individuals focused as possible governors of delta for
the 2023 governorship race is coming at this time because we must remind
ourselves that a good time to do a setup for a considerable electioneering
formation is most responsively two years to the expiration of a seating
governor. It gives the people the opportunity to see through the best person
amongst those presented in the frontline by political associations and parties
beforehand.
This will go
a long way to buttress the image of voting into office a personality that has
all that is requested from the people. We want the best man for the job this
time around so we shall be seeing a public opinion polls on social media that
will provide us the perimeters to judge a voting result sent in by the delta
people on who should represent whatever party at the final stages of the
candidate and party representation.
Moreover,
this and more will also guide the parties to find out the most responsible
aspirant that can stand the taste of time.
We hereby
use this opportunity to introduce our possible 2023 delta governors to the
world.

| CHIEF GREAT OGBORU |
1.
Chief Great Ogboru; This personality is well-known in delta state and Nigeria over the years.
He’s a political known with court cases against whosoever he contests against.
He was once accused to have been involved in coup plotting during the military
era in Nigeria.
It is considered that age is on his side this time around because
the people would really prefer a much younger person to lead them towards a
digital divide. IF am asked to roll my personal opinion on Great Ogboru as a
possible delta governor come 2023 I would say he should just relax and let it
go to a much more younger person so he can be at the senate or as a minister of
the republic. To be been a governor is not by force. If the people don’t vote
you there’s nothing one can do. Although when God says yes who can be against
him. Power is in the hands of God almighty.
2.
Olorogun O’tega Omehor; This person is said to be the founding father of the APC in
delta state in 2025 when president Buhari became leader of Nigeria.
 |
| CHIEF OLOROGUN O'TEGA |
He is said to control a huge force in the APC in delta that
is now called an inside party opposition group. He is very connected on the
national front of the party but is still looking towards a general acceptance
in the delta politics. I think politics is not about just one person, its about
the people so a people should be considered to a person. O’tega can be delta
governor if he plays the ball rolling towards the stockholders who controls the
areas, he O’tega won’t be able to march with power for power and money for
money. But for the now he has his name on our list and we are watching him
closely as a possible delta governor to be.

| BARRISTER OMO-AGEGE |
3.
Chief Barrister Ovie Omo-agege; Okay! This is one very strong political piythom that has the
federal mighty at hand and can do and undo using the power from the centre to
actualize vthe 2023 dream of hes interested at all. Although been the deputy
senate president in this administration doesn’t guaranty that he would remain as
deputy senate president in the 2023 period. Nigeria is a nation where political
power can sweng from the north to south in disagreement of sorts. So it is very
dicey to say he wont be interesting to take up the governorship role come 2023.
Moreover we saw the governors of katsina and Sokoto state Governor Aminu Bello
Masari and Goveronr Tambuwal flexing their executive governorship powers after
running the national assembly as the honorable speakers of federal house of
representatives respectively. But will it not be an insult to the capacity of
the deputy senate president to bend to the floor to beg for votes as governor
to be? Well, politicaians in nigeria are the most shameless individuals we can
find in any profession because we find them saying this to in a campagn and say
yet another thing after they get the votes from the people, like for example in
2015 president Buhari promised to pay #5000 cash to every graduated university
student in nigeria until job is provide to them and since 2015 election nobody
have received any payment in that regard.
Or are we talking about president
Buahri who told Nigerians that the book raham insurgents will be destroyed in
one year or so, and up till this very hour as I write book haram have been
killing Nigerians and the media have been asked not to report their activities
so that people wouldn’t be informed of the bad state they have been killing
people on a daily bases.
Let’s see if the DSP would accept the call of his
supporters to contest for the delta governor come 2023. Although he can be
deceived out of power by his political enemies to contest so that they can move
to the senate while they would turnaround and plot his failure as delta
governor.
Elections are won with very good calculations of the political party
in place and the oppositions too at the other side. Popularity alone cant make
a person to win an election, most especially that delta is a strong place where
politicians fight to a finish to win a position. If you ask me to talk, I would
say it’s the riskiest thing to do for the DSP to contest for governor come
2023. It will be very hard a river to cross for him honestly.
I say this
because as the new Urhobo nation political leader if he comes and eventually
fails to take power his political history is closed for ever and with a very
sad end which we won’t enjoy to read in future.

| DR RUFUS ESEOGHENE EBEGBA |
4.
Dr. Rufus Eseoghene Ebegba; Yes, Dr Rufus as his fondly addressed by his friends
and family is said to be a very strong elephant who has never ventured into
politics of sort in delta state ever. DR Rufus is a said to be a technocrat who
understands the difference between the politics of policy and the policy of
politics because he has been a civil servant with great influence and
reputation for years and graduated into national politics of becoming the
director general and ceo of the national biosafety management agency NBMA under
the president Goodluck Jonathan administration and got reappointed again for
the second tenor by the president Buhari administration and he is said to be
doing excellently wonderful. His name
came up on the list of possible men of value that can take delta and keep it
safe for the good of the people. He has everything it takes to be a good delta
governor come 2023 if voted by the people.
If voted as delta governor he will
run the affairs of the state with the experience of been a civil servant and a
politician who sees the future of the people. Although when his name came up
not many agreed that he should enter the final listings until his responsive
personality was discovered to be a person filled with respect to people and a
great sense of concern for a people-oriented program in his place of work over
six years now.
Dr Ebegba holds an academic credence to distribute towards a new
delta where education must be valued. His relationship with the center national
power of the president’s cabinet will play a good one for him if he finally
accepts the call of his people to come build a superlative delta in 2023. Some
friends of mine in the media said Rd Ebegba is a gentle elephant hiding in the
center and would not be able to hide anymore.
We have seen
the men who will the at the frontline possibly come 2023 in delta state and
with time we shall bring you exclusive interviews we are arranging to have with
them from time to time until the last day we present the 2023 delta governor to
the world and whenever we have a new dimension in a twist to our news story we
can report it as soon as it breaks. If another personality plays him or herself
into the lists you will read it in a new series.
Delta is one
is of the hardest and strongest political battlefield in the Nigerian political
terrain and it should not be taken for grand most especially because we house
the deputy senate president who would be preparing to enter the shoes of the
senate president in the next dispensation if power moves towards the north east
of Nigeria at the center.
As I end
this series here, I like to advice the federal government of Nigeria under president
Buhari to please look into the issues of the coronavirus funds disbursement and
the school feeding program which is already a looting point for the enemies of Nigeria.
Nigerians have the right to know why children are at home for the government
stay at home coronavirus policy and yet the feeding program is still going on.
This gives us the impetus to ask this administration some questions begging for
answers for some time now.
How does
this government know the houses of all the children in our primary schools that
are enjoying the feeding program?
So how is
the food passed to the children while at home?
Who are the
contractors and vendors that are in the position to cook and feed the children?
Do they have
the evidence that the children got the food since they started sharing the
foods to their house doorstep?
Its just a
shame that Buhari’s appointees are not been sincere at all. These questions of
mine can’t be answered because we all know that its not possible to find these
children when they are out of school. Nigeria doesn’t have the database for
such thing and we shouldn’t pretend abut it so we can start finding ways to
building such database for future usage.
