SEE OMIWA FOUNDATION IN AGBOR ON 2ND MAY 2026.....AN UNFORGETTABLE MEDICAL OUTREACH

 



There are moments in service that transcend routine duty and become defining chapters of humanity, compassion, and purpose. The medical outreach held on the 2nd of May, 2026, in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area, stands as one of such rare and unforgettable experiences.

On that remarkable day, hope walked into the hearts of a community, and healing was delivered not just through medicines, but through kindness, sacrifice, and genuine care.



 Over 300 individuals were attended to within the span of a single day—each patient representing a story, a struggle, and ultimately, a touch of relief.



From the early hours of the morning, there was an overwhelming turnout of community members—young and old, men, women, and children—each patiently waiting, many with silent burdens of untreated conditions. Yet, through coordinated effort, unwavering dedication, and the spirit of teamwork, every single patient encountered care that was both professional and deeply compassionate.

Health Education and Preventive Counseling



Beyond consultations and treatment, the outreach emphasized a vital pillar of healthcare—prevention.

Structured health talks and personalized one-on-one counseling sessions were delivered with clarity and empathy. The focus areas included:

  • Personal hygiene practices essential for disease prevention

  • Balanced nutrition for sustainable health and wellbeing

  • Prevention of infectious diseases common within the environment

  • Lifestyle modifications necessary for managing and preventing non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes

These sessions were not merely informative—they were transformative. Many participants, for the first time, gained a clear understanding of how daily habits influence their health outcomes. Seeds of awareness were planted—seeds that will grow into healthier families and communities.

Epidemiological Observations



The outreach also served as a critical window into the health realities of the Agbor community.

Findings revealed a dual burden of disease:

  • Malaria remained the most prevalent condition, reinforcing its persistent endemic nature.

  • A significant number of individuals were newly diagnosed with hypertension, once again highlighting its dangerous reputation as a silent killer.

  • Several cases of poorly managed diabetes were identified, often due to lack of access to consistent care.

  • Untreated infections and nutritional deficiencies were also common, reflecting underlying gaps in healthcare access and health education.

These observations underscore an urgent truth—many in the community are living with conditions that remain undetected or poorly managed, not out of neglect, but due to limited access to quality healthcare.

Public Health Impact



The impact of this outreach extended far beyond the numbers.

  • Immediate health concerns were addressed, bringing relief to hundreds.

  • Early detection of chronic illnesses created opportunities for timely intervention.

  • Awareness was raised on the importance of routine medical check-ups and early presentation to healthcare facilities.

  • Trust was strengthened between healthcare providers and the community.

Most importantly, this outreach ignited hope—hope that quality healthcare is not a privilege reserved for a few, but a right that can be brought closer to the people.

Conclusion



The Agbor outreach of May 2nd, 2026, will remain etched in memory—not just for its scale, but for its impact.

To attend to over 300 patients in a single day is no small feat. It is a testament to resilience, coordination, and an unwavering commitment to service. It reflects the heart of OMIWA Foundation USA—a heart that beats for the underserved, the forgotten, and the vulnerable.

This outreach once again highlights the indispensable role of humanitarian and non-governmental efforts in bridging healthcare gaps within our communities.

Yet, it also serves as a call—a call for sustained interventions, stronger collaborations, and continued dedication. Because the work is far from over.

As long as there are communities in need, we will continue to show up.
As long as there are lives to touch, we will continue to serve.

SEE THE 15 HOTTEST TRENDING NEWS IN NIGERIA NOW

 

Picture as seen on Twitter 

Here’s a deep, layered breakdown of each of the trending stories in Nigeria 

1. Peter Obi Mourns Devoted Supporter Mike Okaka’s Death

This story is emotionally charged and politically symbolic.

What happened:

Peter Obi publicly mourned the death of a loyal supporter, Mike Okaka. While on the surface it appears as a simple condolence message, in Nigerian politics, such gestures carry deeper meaning.

Deeper implications:

  • Grassroots politics: Obi’s political strength has always been tied to ordinary Nigerians—especially youths and middle-class supporters. Losing a “devoted supporter” highlights the human side of political movements.

  • Emotional connection: Obi’s consistent engagement with supporters (both in life and death) reinforces his image as a people-centered leader, unlike traditional elite politicians.

  • Movement vs structure: The Obidient movement is less about party machinery and more about individuals. This death becomes symbolic of the sacrifices and emotional investments of supporters.

Bigger picture:

This is not just mourning—it’s political storytelling. It strengthens loyalty, reminds followers of shared struggle, and deepens the emotional bond ahead of future elections.

2. Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi Eye Move from ADC to NDC Amid Ticket Tensions

This is one of the most politically explosive stories.

What’s going on:

Both Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi are reportedly considering leaving the ADC (African Democratic Congress) for another coalition platform (NDC), due to disagreements over who gets the presidential ticket.

Deep analysis:

  • Opposition fragmentation: Nigeria’s opposition has a long history of ego clashes and weak coalition discipline.

  • Presidential ambition clash: Both men are heavyweight contenders. Neither easily steps down.

  • Strategic relocation: Moving to another party (NDC) suggests:

    • Attempts to rebuild a stronger coalition

    • Or escape internal power struggles

Hidden dynamics:

  • Kwankwaso commands strong Northern support (Kwankwasiyya movement)

  • Obi dominates Southern urban/youth voters
    → A united ticket would be powerful—but mutual distrust and ambition may destroy that possibility.

Political consequence:

If they split:

  • Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling party benefit
    If they unite:

  • 2027 becomes a serious electoral battle

This story reflects Nigeria’s biggest opposition problem: unity vs ambition.

3. Enoch Adeboye Says God Has Chosen Nigeria’s Next President

This is where religion and politics collide—powerfully.

What it means:

Enoch Adeboye, one of Nigeria’s most influential spiritual leaders, made a prophetic statement implying that the next president is divinely ordained.

Why this matters deeply:

  • Nigeria is a deeply religious society

  • Statements like this can:

    • Influence millions of followers

    • Shape political narratives before campaigns even begin

Interpretations:

  1. Spiritual reassurance – calming believers amid political uncertainty

  2. Indirect political signal – some may interpret it as backing a candidate

  3. Neutral prophecy – leaving room for interpretation

Risk factor:

  • Such statements can polarize voters

  • Politicians may try to capitalize on religious endorsement

Underlying reality:

Religion in Nigeria is not just faith—it is a major political force. This statement reinforces how elections are fought not only with policies, but also with spiritual legitimacy.

4. Nigerians Criticize Atiku Abubakar’s 2027 Presidential Push Amid Opposition Splits**

This reflects public frustration and fatigue.

What’s happening:

Atiku Abubakar is making another attempt at the presidency, but many Nigerians are reacting negatively.

Why the criticism:

  • Repeated candidacy: Atiku has contested multiple times → perception of “same old politics”

  • Age vs youth demand: Nigerians increasingly want younger leadership

  • Opposition division: Instead of unity, multiple candidates are competing → weakening chances

Deeper sentiment:

This is less about Atiku personally and more about:

  • Disillusionment with political recycling

  • Desire for fresh direction

  • Frustration with opposition inability to strategize

Political impact:

  • Weakens opposition credibility

  • Strengthens ruling party advantage

  • Forces debate: experience vs generational change

5. Activist Justice Crack Missing After Criticizing Nigerian Army**

This is the most serious and concerning story.

What happened:

An activist known as “Justice Crack” reportedly went missing after criticizing the Nigerian Army.

Deep implications:

  • Freedom of speech concerns: Raises alarm about whether critics are safe

  • Civic space shrinking: Activists and voices of dissent may feel threatened

  • Pattern fears: Nigerians are sensitive to cases where critics disappear after speaking out

Possible interpretations:

  1. Coincidence – disappearance unrelated

  2. Targeted intimidation – if linked, it signals serious democratic issues

  3. Security complexity – Nigeria also faces kidnappings, so motive may vary

Broader consequence:

This story taps into a bigger national concern:
→ Can citizens criticize authority without fear?

It also puts pressure on:

  • Government transparency

  • Security agencies’ accountability

6. Uhuru Kenyatta Trending (Politics)**

Though briefly mentioned, this signals regional political relevance.

Why he’s trending:

  • Likely tied to African political discussions, diplomacy, or commentary on governance

  • Uhuru Kenyatta remains influential in African leadership circles

Broader meaning:

Nigeria’s political discourse often overlaps with:

  • East African leadership models

  • Regional alliances

  • Democratic transitions across Africa

🔍 Final Deep Insight

Across all these stories, one powerful theme emerges:

Nigeria is entering a high-stakes pre-2027 political season defined by:

  • Opposition disunity (Obi, Kwankwaso, Atiku dynamics)

  • Religious influence in politics (Adeboye’s statement)

  • Public frustration with old political cycles

  • Concerns over civil liberties and activism

  • Emotional grassroots engagement (Obi’s mourning)

The truth beneath the headlines:

This is not just news—it is a nation quietly preparing for a defining election, where:

  • Unity vs division

  • Youth vs establishment

  • Faith vs policy

  • Freedom vs control

…will all collide.

Here’s a deep, contextual, and insightful breakdown of each trending sports story in your screenshot—going beyond headlines into meaning, implications, and hidden narratives:

1. Paul Pogba Starts for AS Monaco After 1,084-Day Wait

This is not just a football story—it’s a redemption arc.

Pogba’s 1,084-day absence from a proper competitive starting lineup reflects a turbulent period marked by:

  • Persistent injuries

  • Off-field controversies

  • Suspension issues (linked to doping investigations in recent years)

Why this matters:

  • Career Resurrection: Returning to start for Monaco signals that Pogba is attempting a serious comeback after being written off by many.

  • Reputation Repair: Pogba’s career, once glittering with a World Cup win (2018), became overshadowed by inconsistency and controversy. This match is symbolic—football is giving him another chance.

  • Monaco’s Gamble: Monaco is betting on experience over youth. If Pogba regains even 70% of his peak form, he could transform their midfield creativity and leadership.

Tactical Impact:

  • Pogba brings vision, long passing, and physical dominance

  • However, concerns remain about match fitness and tempo adaptation

👉 Bottom line: This is less about one match and more about whether Pogba can rewrite the final chapter of his career.

2. Arsenal FC Aim to Extend Lead Over Manchester City vs Fulham FC

This headline sits at the heart of the Premier League title race.

Context:

  • Arsenal and Manchester City are locked in a fierce battle.

  • Arsenal leading means they must maintain consistency under pressure.

  • Fulham, though not title contenders, can be a dangerous disruptor.

Key Layers:

  • Psychological Pressure: Arsenal historically struggled to sustain title runs (e.g., past collapses). This match tests their mental growth.

  • City Factor: Manchester City are known for late-season dominance. Arsenal must build a buffer.

  • Home Advantage (Emirates Stadium): Arsenal’s strong home form gives them an edge.

Tactical Insight:

  • Arsenal rely on high pressing and quick transitions

  • Fulham may sit deep and counterattack

👉 Bigger Picture:
If Arsenal win convincingly, it signals they are no longer “contenders”—they are true champions-in-waiting.

3. Ipswich Town Seal Premier League Return with 3–0 Win Over Queens Park Rangers

This is a historic comeback story.

Background:

Ipswich Town have spent years outside the Premier League, even dropping into lower divisions.

Why this is huge:

  • Promotion secured: This win confirms their return to England’s top flight.

  • Dominant performance: A 3–0 victory shows they didn’t just qualify—they earned it emphatically.

  • Rebuilding success: The club has undergone smart management, recruitment, and tactical rebuilding.

Financial & Structural Impact:

  • Promotion means:

    • Massive TV revenue boost

    • Increased global visibility

    • Ability to attract higher-quality players

Emotional Layer:

For fans, this is years of struggle rewarded—a revival of identity.

👉 Bottom line: Ipswich are back—not just to participate, but potentially to surprise bigger clubs.

4. Bayern Munich 3–3 Comeback vs

This result is dramatic—but also revealing weakness.

Match Narrative:

  • Bayern went behind (likely unexpectedly)

  • Fought back to draw 3–3

  • Avoided defeat, but failed to dominate

What it tells us:

  • Defensive Vulnerability: Bayern conceding multiple goals to a smaller club raises concerns.

  • Mental Resilience: The comeback shows character—but also that they were in trouble to begin with.

  • Bundesliga Shift: Smaller clubs like Heidenheim are becoming more competitive.

Tactical Insight:

  • Bayern’s attacking firepower remains elite

  • But defensive organization and discipline are questionable

👉 Bigger Concern:
This isn’t just a draw—it hints that Bayern’s domestic dominance is being challenged.

5. Kobbie Mainoo Signs New Manchester United Contract Until 2031

This is a strategic long-term move by Manchester United.

Who is Mainoo?

Why this matters:

  • Future Building: United are securing a core player for the next decade

  • Avoiding Transfer Loss: Big clubs were likely monitoring him

  • Fan Signal: Shows commitment to youth development

Footballing Significance:

  • Mainoo represents a shift toward:

    • Youth integration

    • Technical midfield stability

  • Could become the backbone of United’s midfield for years

Financial Angle:

  • Long contracts protect clubs from losing players cheaply

  • Increases player market value

👉 Bottom line:
This is not just a contract—it’s Manchester United saying:
“This is our future.”

6. Paul George Trending

Though not detailed in the headline, Paul George trending usually signals:

  • A standout NBA performance

  • Trade rumors

  • Injury update

  • Or playoff implications

Why Paul George trends often:

SEE THE CALL LOGS AND THE OWNER OF THE GUN NAMED EJIME

 


We gathered from the call log that at 16:08:17, Ogidi’s own line, 2349112326520, made one final outgoing call to the same Skru Alaro number, 2347085869611, lasting 23 seconds from an unresolved site. On the mother’s phone, outgoing traffic accelerated: a call to 2349055880483 (“Emma driver glo” on Truecaller) at 16:12:36 for 11 seconds, followed by a 34-second call to Desmond Ebiwoni (2347060417298) at 16:21:49. Two back-to-back calls to Skru Alaro (2347085869611) followed at 16:43:54 and 16:44:00, each lasting 13 seconds, with one connecting inside the Sunny Eru Motors site. Fast forward to 17:06:34 and 17:06:38, 2349043502564 called Skru Alaro (2347085869611) for six and seven seconds respectively, one call originating from the Echiejile Austin Plot Warri site. Skru Alaro immediately rang back to Ogidi’s personal line at 17:07:13 for 23 seconds from the KM 1, Warri Sapele Road cell. Further short outgoing calls from the mother’s phone followed: to Emma driver glo (2349055880483) at 17:11:57 for 11 seconds from KM 1, Warri Sapele Road, and to Desmond Ebiwoni (2347060417298) at 17:20:59 for 34 seconds from NO.18, Johnson Duku Crescent. The very last logged activity occurred at 17:41:44, 17:41:45, and 17:41:46 on the mother’s line, 2349043502564, three zero-duration connections from the number 32000 or blank entries, all registering inside the Sunny Eru Motors site.  SecretsReporters reports that the Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu has ordered the immediate dismissal of ASP Nuhu Usman and other officers implicated in the extrajudicial killing of Mine Ogidi. According to a statement by the Nigeria Police Force, the directive followed the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings conducted by the Force Disciplinary Committee and the Orderly Room Tribunal at the Force Headquarters in Abuja. However, the Force noted that the dismissals are subject to ratification by the Police Service Commission (PSC), in line with statutory requirements.

BUT THE QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS

Are

 So basically,with the story so far,the young man went to the park to pick up a waybill from a friend and he was asked to open it at the motor park and a pistol was found with some ammunition then he was accosted,tied down and police was called. So here are the questions:

1. Who is the driver that actually delivered the waybill??

2.who did the driver took the waybill from?

3.why didn’t the driver demand for the waybill to be opened before taking it for delivery?

4.who suggested that the waybill be opened at the receiving point?

5.when has it become a tradition that the receiver of waybill must open it at the park?

6.if the driver was so careful and taking precautionary measures,why didn’t he demand the the waybill to be opened first before taking it for delivery?

7.if Asp Nuhu was actually professional,why didn’t he and his team demand to know where the waybill actually came from ?

8.why so much in a hurry to execute an unarmed suspect before getting to the station?even when he is trying to give you a lead in other to unravel the truth behind the scenario.


THIS STORY NEVER CLEAR 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

SEE THE 4 POLICEMEN

 


This image and caption are tied to a serious and widely condemned incident involving police misconduct in Nigeria.

What happened (context behind the image)

The four men in the picture are officers of the Nigeria Police Force who were arrested after a viral video showed the unlawful killing of a handcuffed civilian.

Reports indicate that:

  • The victim had already been restrained (handcuffed), meaning he posed little or no immediate threat.

  • One of the officers was seen shooting the victim at close range, while others were present and did not intervene.

  • The act was captured on video and spread quickly across social media, triggering national outrage.

Why this case is so serious

This incident is not just about one killing—it touches on deeper systemic issues:

1. Extrajudicial killing

The act is considered an extrajudicial execution, meaning:

  • The victim was killed without trial, legal process, or immediate justification

  • This violates both Nigerian law and international human rights standards

2. Abuse of power

Police officers are entrusted with:

  • Protecting lives

  • Enforcing the law within legal boundaries

Instead, this case shows:

  • Misuse of firearms

  • Failure of duty by colleagues present

3. Public trust crisis

Incidents like this worsen:

  • Fear of law enforcement among citizens

  • Distrust in institutions meant to provide safety

This is particularly sensitive in Nigeria, where past movements like #EndSARS already highlighted police brutality concerns.

Why the officers are sitting like this

In the image:

  • The officers are seated on the ground, appearing subdued

  • They are likely in custody or under internal disciplinary control

  • Their posture reflects detention and loss of authority

This is symbolic:

  • From enforcers of law → to subjects of investigation

Response from authorities

After the video went viral:

  • The police hierarchy acted quickly

  • All four officers were arrested and detained

  • Internal investigations began, alongside possible criminal prosecution

The mention of the Inspector General (IG) in the caption suggests:

  • The action may have been approved or ordered at the highest level

  • Authorities are trying to show accountability and responsiveness

What happens next

Typically, cases like this proceed through:

  1. Internal disciplinary review

  2. Criminal prosecution (if evidence supports it)

  3. Possible charges such as:

    • Murder or manslaughter

    • Abuse of office

    • Conduct unbecoming of officers

If convicted, penalties can include:

  • Dismissal from service

  • Long prison sentences

Bigger picture

This case is part of an ongoing national issue:

  • Calls for police reform

  • Better training and accountability

  • Use of body cameras and stricter oversight

Final insight

What makes this case particularly disturbing is not just the act itself, but the fact that:

  • The victim was already helpless

  • Multiple officers were involved

  • It was carried out openly

The arrests signal an attempt at justice—but the real test will be whether the system follows through with transparent prosecution and meaningful reform.

FORCE LEADERSHIP ORDERS DISMISSAL, PROSECUTION OF OFFICERS INVOLVED IN EFFURUN SHOOTING


The Nigeria Police Force hereby provides an update on the disciplinary actions taken following the fatal shooting incident of 26th April 2026 in Effurun, Delta State, which resulted in the death of Mr Mene Ogidi.


Sequel to the earlier directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, all officers connected to the incident were immediately withdrawn from the Delta State Command and transferred to Force Headquarters, Abuja, where they were subjected to expedited disciplinary proceedings.


The Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC), alongside other internal disciplinary processes, has concluded its review. Findings established unequivocally that the principal officer, ASP Nuhu Usman, acted in gross violation of Force Order 237 and other extant regulations governing the use of firearms. His actions were unlawful, unprofessional, and a clear betrayal of the oath to protect life and uphold the law.


Consequently, the FDC has recommended the immediate dismissal of ASP Nuhu Usman and other officers found culpable. The Inspector-General of Police has approved the recommendations and forwarded same to the Police Service Commission for ratification in line with due process.


Upon completion of the administrative procedures, the affected officers will be handed over to the appropriate judicial authorities for prosecution for their roles in the extrajudicial shooting.


The Inspector-General of Police reiterates, in the strongest terms, that the Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero-tolerance stance on extra-judicial actions and abuse of power. No uniform confers the right to take life outside the provisions of the law. Any officer who violates this fundamental principle will face the full weight of disciplinary and legal consequences.


The IGP extends his deepest and most solemn condolences to the family of the deceased, Mr Mene Ogidi. He acknowledges the pain and loss suffered and assures the family that this tragic incident will not be treated lightly. The Force is fully committed to ensuring that justice is not only served but seen to be served, in a manner that reinforces public confidence and institutional accountability.


Members of the public are urged to remain calm and law-abiding, as the Nigeria Police Force remains steadfast in its commitment to discipline, professionalism, and the protection of the rights and dignity of all citizens while ensuring accountability at all levels.

2027 ELECTION GO TOUGH OOO.....SEE WHAT FEJIRO OLIVER WROTE

 

..

I will tell Sheriff Oborowheri the truth if nobody is calling him out on his bullshit.


Mr Speaker like I call you. You are a destroying the APC in Delta. 


First you directed the party, state exco and LG government and party officials to be the one to announce Mr Ede Dafinone declaration when he’s NOT yet the party’s candidate. We all laughed it off as your usual political naive self who just hates DSP Ovie Omo-Agege who you pleaded with to step down from the governor race for you in Abuja and he did after pressure from Abuja.



The opposition by Deltans and Urhobo to that grave mistake that could cause you your own election if not well handled and most importantly destroy the entire Urhobo nation on your clannish Okpe agenda to subjugate the remaining 23 kingdoms was enough for you to pull back, reflect and adjust to the new reality that Ede cannot fly as a Senator. You will chose to either be a governor or Ede as a Senator. The choice is yours.


You are new to the party and may not have had time to read the party’s constitution. I can help you.


Article 20: Party Nomination and Expression 


Section 4: procedure for nomination of candidates


Sub Section;  iv says


“Without prejudice to other provisions of this Article, the National Working Committee shall, subject to the approval of the National Executive Committee, make Rules and Regulations for the conduct of Party primaries in accordance with the extant Electoral Act (as amended). All such Rules, Regulations and Guidelines shall take into consideration and uphold the principle of Federal Character, gender balance, geo-political spread and rotation of offices, to as much as

possible ensure balance within the constituency covered”


The above AUTOMATICALLY disqualifies you or Ede from coming from the same constituency which Uvwie, Sapele and Okpe currently covers. Now you know.


Waking up this morning to now see that you have done the same thing in Delta South by using the State party to summon party members to Mr Joel Onowakpo’s declaration, who’s still a candidate like Malik Ikpokpo and Michael Diden Ejele is the height of betrayal from you.



How do you comfortably support Joel against Ejele even if you don’t like Malik? Same Ejele who imposed you as Speaker alongside Osanebi and Eric Oharisi is who you now openly work against? Have you no conscience?


Same Ejele who told Okowa alongside Eboigbe in the guise of a fake pastor prophecy to them for him to make you the PDP candidate even when you had and still do not have your own electoral value? He mobilized the entire Delta Political Vanguard for you and this is how you pay him back.


Have you not seen everywhere that Joel has lost Isoko to Malik? Has reality not stared at you that no one wants Joel back as a Senator again? When Keston Pondi met you to support Joel, you admitted to him that you didn’t know Joel’s case is this bad and hated by Delta South hence will be hard to support, yet you openly endorse him. Same Ejele that won all the Delta South apart from Isoko which he still won lots of votes and it took DSP Ovie Omo-Agege ordering the INEC man to return back to declare Joel winner in Isoko is who you now ride the wave against?


Okowa just made you a godson but didn’t teach you the political ropes. Did you see how Okowa stopped you from interfering in Delta North and went about his own declaration? He knew you will cause him more problems if you do similar thing you did in Urhobo and now doing in Delta South. 


Back off NOW from this support for these individuals or get ready to pack out of Delta State Government House. Even Ibori and Okowa with all their political sagacity knew where to draw the lines when it has to do with Urhobo and Delta South. It always backfires. This is not a threat but a sincere and brutal advise from a long time friend to you my senior friend and political leader. 


Urhobo pikin dey get sense na Speaker. We are not ingrate even though three Okpe sons such as you, Ede Dafinone and Paulinus Akpeki has shown how much of an ingrate you guys can be to your helpers.


This is not about my political support now for individuals but maintaining the unity of the Urhobo tribe and Delta State, for long after elections are over, this action of Sheriff Oborowheri will be here for a long time for us to deal with while he enjoys the money he may have gotten from the state, even though he will also suffer it’s consequences, one way or the other.


Stronger and more political savvy governors didn’t take this route and it cannot start with Sheriff. Delta State is not South West States where people are whipped into line. We are like the Igbos with the spirit of rebellion when a man want to tell us that he’s a god. Okowa’s 2023 election and Uduaghan’s 2014 primaries are still very fresh to learn from.


Like we say in Pyrates… Half a word…
