Immediate Past Warri North Council Chairman, Hon. Capt. Smart Yomi Asekutu, Celebrates Former Delta Governor Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa on His Birthday
By EgbemaVoice,

The immediate past Chairman of Warri North Local Government Area, Hon. Capt. Smart Yomi Asekutu, has joined family, friends, political stakeholders, and the entire Delta State in celebrating the birthday anniversary of the immediate past Governor of Delta State, His Excellency Senator Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, on the 8th of July.

In a warm and heartfelt congratulatory message, Capt. Asekutu described Senator Okowa as a remarkable leader, an astute political strategist, and a man whose name is etched in the political history of Delta State and Nigeria at large.

"Dr. Okowa is more than a leader; he is a political calculator and space designer, a vocal icon of Delta State’s political architecture, and a hero of our time. His leadership qualities are rooted in fairness, equity, vision, and commitment to inclusive governance," Asekutu stated.

He further lauded the former Governor for his outstanding contributions to the growth and stability of Delta State, especially during his tenure as Governor from 2015 to 2023. According to Capt. Asekutu, Okowa’s administration brought visible transformation, peace, and progress to all parts of the state, including minority and historically marginalized communities.

Speaking passionately, Capt. Asekutu noted: "Senator Okowa's administration broke political barriers and rewrote history for the people of Egbema Kingdom. Through his sense of fairness and justice, he made it possible for an Ijaw son to be elected as Chairman of Warri North Local Government Area for the very first time. His administration also ensured the inclusion of Ijaw ethnic nationalities in the board of DESOPADEC, a landmark achievement that has restored hope and fostered a sense of belonging among the Ijaw people."

"For us in Egbema Kingdom, Senator Okowa is not just a former Governor; he is a builder of bridges, a unifier, and a statesman whose legacy will never be forgotten. His decisions have redefined our political presence in Delta State, and for that, he remains a celebrated figure in our hearts."

He concluded by praying for God's continued blessings upon the life of Dr. Okowa, "On behalf of the people of Egbema Kingdom in Warri North Local Government Area and my beloved family, I extend our deepest congratulations and best wishes to the Ekuweme of Africa. May the Almighty God continue to strengthen you, protect you, and bless you abundantly as you remain committed to serving humanity and uplifting the Ijaw Nation, Delta State, and Nigeria at large. Happy glorious birthday, Your Excellency!"

Egbema kingdom Road: Comrade Ebi Omawumi Laments Over Deplorable Condition,

By
Egbema kingdom Road: Comrade Ebi Omawumi Laments Deplorable Condition, By EgbemaVoice, Ajakurama, Edo State – The Youth Leader of Egbema Kingdom, Comrade Ebi Omawumi, has raised a passionate outcry over the worsening state of the Egbema Kingdom road in Ovia South-West Local Government Area of Edo State. In a heartbreaking video clip circulated on social media, Comrade Ebi Omawumi decried the total neglect of the region’s major access road, stating that the lives of Edo State’s Ijaw people are in constant danger due to the inaccessibility of the road linking the kingdom to other parts of the state. According to him, despite the Ijaw people of Edo State being an integral part of the state—actively participating in every electoral process and voting massively for successive administrations including the current Governor—they have been completely sidelined in terms of infrastructure and development.

From Oil Theft to Budget Padding: Commodore Dappa Exposes Ibas’ Long History of “Crude” Deals

By
By EgbemaVoice, Meet Commodore Promise Dappa, a decorated naval officer who gave the Nigerian Navy 32 years of unwavering service, only to be denied promotion three times. Why? According to him, it all boils down to one thing; he refused to play ball with oil thieves. Dappa, who once served as Maritime Guard Commander at NIMASA, claims his anti-oil theft crusade made powerful enemies, including then-Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas. And when Ibas took the helm in 2015, Dappa says his career was sunk—not for lack of merit, but because he refused to “cooperate” with the oily underbelly of the system. “I had one of the best records among my contemporaries,” Dappa said. “But Ibas made sure I was denied every privilege, while his protégés; two of whom were later indicted by the EFCC, got promoted after looting NIMASA dry.” The retired Commodore alleges that millions were forfeited by his successors, yet they still climbed the ranks under Ibas’ watch. Meanwhile, h...
