GOVERNOR OKOWA'S EMERGENCE ON PDP'S JOINT PRESIDENTIAL TICKET UNSETTLES OPPOSITION APC,

PRESS RELEASE 
The Delta State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has chided the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) Governorship Campaign Organisation, for being jittery over the emergence of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate to the PDP Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The Party, in a Press Release by its State Publicity Secretary, Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza, said it was not surprised that the APC is stressed out, because the news of the joint presidential ticket of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Senator, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has already sent shock waves into the APC fold. 

As a result, the opposition has since become nervous and agitated, making rapid jumpy movements and issuing silly, childish press statements to cover their agitation and apprehension.

Reacting to an APC Press Release by one Ima Niboro, the clueless Director, Communications and Media Strategy, for Delta APC Gubernatorial Campaign organization titled: “Don’t Use Delta Money To Fund Atiku’s Ambition – Omo-Agege Campaign Warns Okowa,” the PDP described the statement as boring and ordinary, as it showed no evidence of any new and interesting ideas.

“Of course, no one is surprised at the turn of events since the author of the hackneyed Press Release is very unimaginative, a reality in the arguments that have become commonplace and stale from overuse.

"Because of their glaring inability to think of new ideas, the APC Media and gubernatorial team have by sheer laziness become sterile, unstimulating, and barren.

“It thus has become attractive for it to engage in tired propaganda, in the futile effort to seek to sway people’s mind to believe its lies about using Delta State’s money 'to finance Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s campaign.'

"Of course, Deltans are too knowledgeable and cultured to fall for that cheap APC deception, knowing that political party campaigns are not funded by State governments, but by political parties. It is their game and their duty. 

"This base argument, therefore, confirms Delta PDP’s position that the Omo-Agege/APC campaign organization is clueless, unimaginative, nervous, and agitated.

“As usual, the opposition disinformation machine talks about “credible evidence at its disposal,” a euphemism for lies, ruse, and sham. If Omo-Agege wants people to believe that “the 2023 general election is a PDP conduit pipe to loot the State,” will it not also stand to reason that Omo-Agege’s Gubernatorial ambition is APC’s conduit to loot the Federal Government?

"Perhaps we need to remind the hapless APC propaganda structure that in 2011 and 2015, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa ran for elections, even against the State-sponsored aspirants, and even brought the international media twice to cover the 2011 Senatorial Primaries with his own finances, having resigned from his position as the SSG of Delta State. 

"Okowa is a leader who is always ready and prepared for any assignment he takes up and he has done it twice successfully, when he was not even occupying a Government position. Obviously, Ima Niboro's history is too short to remember that time.

“As earlier observed, the reckless and clueless argument of the APC and its Gubernatorial Campaign Organization did not just manifest from nothing. it is propelled by jitters, a nervous attack inflicted by the sudden emergence of Governor Okowa to run on the joint ticket of the PDP presidential candidate.  

“Indeed, Deltans are fed up with APC media team’s clichéd and worn-out, imaginary and mediocre arguments about “credible intelligence at its disposal.” It is a lie, it is propaganda and Deltans will not fall for APC’s deception. 

"What it shows is that the APC has nothing tangible with which to market its gubernatorial candidate to Deltans. It is all because, its so-called candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege is unmarketable, as he lacks sales appeal for Deltans.

“Delta PDP thanks our members, leaders, supporters, and party faithful for remaining consistent with the party and for believing in the PDP State Government, led by our amiable, SMART, and progress-loving Senator, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, who incidentally, divine Grace is pushing ahead for higher service to the nation, in the months ahead. 

"This reality is what has incensed the Omo-Agege Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation, and it has difficulty in coming to terms with it. 

That is why they are jittery.

PDP! Power to the people.
Dr. Ifeanyi M. Osuoza,
State Publicity Secretary,
PDP, Delta State.

Nigeria’s Christian Genocide: A Call for Justice and National Reawakening__ EgbemaVoice Editorial Board,

Nigeria’s Christian Genocide: A Call for Justice and National Reawakening By EgbemaVoice Editorial Board Nigeria’s Christian communities have, for decades, endured unimaginable suffering in the hands of violent extremists and armed bandits, particularly in the northern regions the North East and the Middle Belt. Thousands of innocent citizens have been killed, churches burned, and priests, pastors, and missionaries brutally murdered in cold blood. The persistent attacks by extremist groups have left many communities in ruins. Villages once filled with life and worship now stand deserted, while many families continue to grieve their loved ones. Those who set out to spread the gospel have been ambushed, stoned, or burned alive. These tragedies reflect the painful reality of a country where the sanctity of human life is fast losing meaning. It is deeply troubling that successive governments have failed to deliver justice. In several cases, perpetrators are neither prosecuted n...

The Untold Day U.S. Soldiers Rescued a Kidnapped American in Nigeria — A Warning Against Ignoring U.S. Threats

The Day US Soldiers Rescued Kidnapped American Citizen In Nigeria  By EgbemaVoice, It's funny how some people are even saying that Donald Trump cannot just enter Nigeria. Probably, they can't remember what happened in 2024 when US Army entered Northern Nigeria and rescued an American Citizen without anybody knowing about it. The American man identified as Philip Walton spent less than a week in the hands of bandits in the North. Walton was abducted early Tuesday morning from his farm in Massalata in southern Niger by kidnappers who demanded a ransom from the man's father. The same week, a US joint special operations force moved in Nigeria, just across the border, to rescue the American. " They went in with a large group, zero casualties. We've got our American citizen, young man, we got our young man back", US President Donald Trump said, as election day. According to report, the security agencies in Nigeria didn't even know about the operatio...

Niger Delta Highlife King Barrister S. Smooth Congratulates Governor Douye Diri on Defection to APC

Congratulations to Our Amiable Governor Sen Douye Diri! Published by EgbemaVoice, Once again, let me congratulate our amiable Governor, Chief Senator Douye Diri, on his new decision to align with the All Progressives Congress (APC). To me, this is a wise and timely move. After all, politics is about bringing development, not just pursuing selfish interests, but prioritizing the welfare and progress of the people. This strategic realignment is a testament to Governor Diri's commitment to the growth and prosperity of Bayelsa State and its people. By joining forces with the APC, Governor Diri is poised to tap into the party's resources and networks, potentially unlocking new opportunities for development and progress in the state. His leadership and vision will undoubtedly continue to shape the future of Bayelsa State. But beyond that, I must equally add to your understanding that by joining the new party APC, you are equally giving a more tasking job to he...

Trump says he’s ordered Pentagon to ‘prepare for possible action’ in Nigeria

, President Donald Trump speaks to ... US President Donald Trump said Saturday he has ordered the Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria as he continues to accuse the nation of not doing enough to stem violence against Christians — an accusation Nigeria has repeatedly denied. In a social media post criticizing what he called the “mass slaughter” of Christians in the country, Trump  wrote  the United States would “immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria” and warned the government there to “move fast.” In the lengthy message, Trump said the US “may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.” Both Christians and Muslims have been victims of attacks by radical Islamists in the country of more than 230 million people. The violence in the country is driven by varying factors: some incidents are religiously motivated and affect bot...

US Military Threat: What the United States Can Do — Nigerians, Listen Up,

US Military Threat: What the United States Can Do,__ Nigerians, Listen Up By EgbemaVoice Editorial Board Iran is one of the most powerful nations in the world. Yet, when the United States struck Iran’s nuclear sites, they did so without consulting anyone — and no country dared to challenge them. No sanctions, no global outrage. They acted and returned safely, mission completed. Now, some Nigerians are saying, “The US has no right to enter Nigeria!” But let’s face reality: if the United States believes there is a genocide or massive killing going on, they have the power — and the global justification — to intervene. And truthfully, no one can stop them. Let’s be clear: it’s not that they would come to destroy Nigeria or bomb innocent civilians. If they ever intervene, their target would be terrorist hideouts, not ordinary Nigerians. They would strike, neutralize the threats, and leave — mission accomplished. Some Nigerians fear that such intervention could be about our oil o...
