By EgbemaVoice,

Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau has reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing him as his “political father” and pledging to carry out any directive from the President.

“I am ready to do anything Mr President tells me to do. He is my political father,” Barau declared on Wednesday while addressing National Assembly correspondents during a briefing on the upcoming Constitution Review Town Hall Meetings.

Barau described Tinubu as a magnanimous leader who has consistently stepped in to assist others, recalling how the President supported him during political turbulence in Kano State.

“The President saved me when I was in murky political waters,” he said.

He added that Tinubu’s success is a shared victory for all progressives.

“When the President succeeds, we all succeed. That is what true progressives do,” he noted.

On the Constitution review process, Barau stressed the Senate’s commitment to an inclusive, people-driven amendment of the 1999 Constitution.

He disclosed that the Senate Committee on Constitution Review has received numerous memoranda and bills from Nigerians and civil society organisations.

“To ensure that every Nigerian is heard, we are organising zonal public hearings. Not all citizens can travel to Abuja,” he said.

The town hall meetings will hold simultaneously across the six geopolitical zones on July 4 and 5, 2025.

Barau emphasized that all Nigerians, regardless of class or profession, are welcome to participate.

“We currently have about 59 proposed bills, including those seeking the creation of new states. But the scope is open. We are ready to listen to fresh ideas and demands from citizens,” he said.

He urged the media to support the initiative by raising awareness and encouraging citizens to get involved.

“The media plays a critical role in ensuring Nigerians are aware of these opportunities to shape the Constitution. We need your help,” he appealed.

Barau also commended the Senate Committee on Constitution Review for initiating the town halls and expressed confidence in their success.

Egbema Kingdom Underdevelopment Rooted in Deprivation, Marginalization, and Ethnic Bias, ___ Egbema Agog,

By
Egbema Kingdom Underdevelopment Rooted in Deprivation, Marginalization, and Ethnic Bias By EgbemaVoice, The Niger Delta youth leader, Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka, has expressed deep concern over the prolonged marginalization of Egbema Kingdom in Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State. He criticized the Delta State Government for decades of neglect, leaving Egbema Kingdom lagging in development and infrastructure. Comrade Mingo lamented that the current administration, led by Governor Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, has perpetuated this trend. Despite touring other oil-producing kingdoms across the state, the governor has not visited Egbema Kingdom to witness firsthand the challenges faced by its people. "Projects are awarded, commissioned, and appointments are made, yet none benefit Egbema Kingdom. Our people are suffering in silence," Mingo stated. Egbema Kingdom, one of the most populous riverine communities in Delta State and a major oi...

Edo-Delta Egbema Political Space: Leadership Disputes Hindering Development, Youths Urged to Learn from the Past,

By
Egbema Kingdom Political Space: Leadership Misunderstanding Contributes to Underdevelopment in Edo and Delta States By Egbemavoice, Niger Delta youth leader, Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka, has exposed the root causes behind the underdevelopment of Egbema Kingdom, which straddles Edo and Delta states. He pointed to persistent leadership misunderstandings and the lingering effects of colonial-era divide-and-rule tactics. Comrade Mingo described Egbema as the most populous and one of the oldest Ijaw kingdoms in southern Nigeria—yet it has suffered decades of underdevelopment, neglect, deprivation, marginalization, and oppression by both the Edo and Delta state governments. He traced this back to tribal sentiments and biases harbored by successive state administrations. Egbema Kingdom’s plight began during the days of Bendel State, before its division into Edo and Delta states. The kingdom spans both states but is united under one traditional throne, with its headquarter...

Egbema Youths Council: Cautions Isoko's Youth Group (ISOPLOT,)

By
....... Demands Immediate Implementation of Supreme Court-Ordered Delineation, By EgbemaVoice, The Egbema Youth Council (EYC) Worldwide, the Apex Youth Body in the Egbema Kingdom, strongly condemns the publication by a group known as the Isoko Political Youth Leaders of Thought (ISOPLOT), which called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to suspend or cancel the already concluded delineation exercise in the Warri Federal Constituency. In a statement signed by Barr. Amatelemowei A. Sode, President General of (EYC) Worldwide, the Council described the call as misleading, divisive, and politically motivated, designed solely to stall a legitimate, court-ordered process. The Supreme Court of Nigeria clearly mandated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh delineation of wards and polling units, a directive INEC is now faithfully executing. EYC therefore commends INEC for upholding its constitutional responsibility and urges it to resist pressure from el...

Speaking during a media chat in Asaba on Tuesday, the Ovie of Idjerhe Kingdom urged the Federal Government and security agencies to launch an immediate investigation into those behind the protest, which he claims is aimed at sabotaging national oil and gas infrastructure for selfish gain.

He argued that those protesting the company’s operations are effectively exposing their involvement in crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism. “Their activity is nothing short of criminals openly identifying their intentions ...
