EGBEMA YOUTH POLITICAL FORUM DECLARES DELTA STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY SEAT FOR EGBEMA – WARRI NORTH,

By EgbemaVoice,

The Egbema Youth Political Forum, at its end-of-year meeting held at Elko Hotel, Warri, Delta State, gathered youths from across the Egbema Kingdom in Edo and Delta States to unanimously declare that the Delta State House of Assembly (DSHA) seat for Warri North should be occupied by an Egbema son or daughter.

Presiding over the meeting, the Chairman of the Forum, Barrister Stephen Ebigbagha Baidi, urged all Egbema indigenes of Warri North LGA to boldly contest for the position. He encouraged the youths of Egbema Kingdom to fully participate in political activities, register with political parties, and prepare for the 2026 political season ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The meeting also provided an open platform for youths to express their concerns and discuss the future of political participation within the kingdom. Barr. Baidi charged the Egbema people of Edo State to rise against political marginalization and long-standing sidelining.

He lamented that despite the large Egbema population in Edo State, the kingdom still has only one ward, which has led to continuous political neglect. He advised the people to stand firm and reclaim their rightful political space.

Participants further discussed the absence of government presence in the area—highlighting the lack of government projects, awarded contracts, or commissioned works. This, they noted, has contributed to declining political interest among Egbema indigenes. The forum urged councillors representing Egbema wards to initiate at least one or two visible projects in their communities.

In conclusion, the Forum called on all Egbema youths to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), remain committed to the progress of the kingdom, defend its collective interest, and work together for the development and representation of Egbema Kingdom.

By
Opuama and Polobubo Communities Back ESG Progress in OML40, Reject NGO Claims By EgbemaVoice, Opuama and Polobubo (Tsekelewu) communities in Warri North, Delta State, have reaffirmed their support for ongoing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives in OML40 while distancing themselves from recent environmental claims made by an unnamed NGO. Speaking on behalf of both communities, Pumokumo B. Tiemo, an indigene and ESG-certified community advocate, said historical pollution from former operators and illegal refining should not be attributed to the current operators of the Opuama Flow Station. He criticised the NGO for issuing statements without consulting recognised community leadership. Tiemo outlined several projects delivered by NPDC/NEPL and Elcrest in Opuama, Polobubo and neighbouring settlements, including jetties, residential quarters, schools, electrification works, water projects, health facilities, dredged waterways and a cott...

Ajakurama Development Initiative Rebukes Edo Deputy Governor Over Misleading Claims on Abere–Ajakurama Land Dispute,

By
PRESS STATEMENT Ajakurama Development Initiative Condemns Edo State Deputy Governor’s Careless and Misleading Remarks on Abere–Ajakurama Land Dispute The Ajakurama Development Initiative (ADI) strongly condemns the recent remarks made by the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Rt. Hon. Dennis Idahosa, regarding the long-standing land dispute between the Abere and Ajakurama communities. This dispute, earlier in 2025, resulted in violent attacks, severe persons injuries sustained by Ajakurama youths. During a peace meeting held at the Government House, Benin City, the Deputy Governor urged both communities to “embrace peace,” while asserting that the disputed land forms part of the Government’s Forest Reserve. ADI considers this statement careless, provocative, and a deliberate distortion of historical and traditional facts. It attempts to undermine the ancestral ownership rights of both Ijaw communities and misinform the general public. OUR POSITION 1. The Land Belongs to Ajakuram...

By
By Egbemavoice, THE IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL (IYC) EGBEMA CLAN (EGBEMA KINGDOM) IN EDO STATE EXPRESS REGRET OVER SUPPORT FOR DEPUTY GOVERNOR HON.

Lawoni Dumofaye the Egbema Clan Chairman, issue this statement with deep disappointment and a profound sense of betrayal. Our people stood firmly behind Deputy Governor Hon. Dennis Idahosa during his election, believing he would act as a voice of justice and a defender of truth. However, his recent comments on the Abere and Ajakurama land judgement have proven to be lacking in fairness, historical accuracy, and respect for the communities that gave him their mandate. The judgement in question is not just a legal matter, it is an attempt to distort the truth of our ancestry and undermine our heritage. Instead of defending justice, the Deputy Governor made statements that dismiss...
