Former Principal Secretary to former Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, Dr. Hilary Ibegbulem, has thrown his weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms and re-election bid, declaring that the administration’s policies are laying the foundation for long-term national growth and development.

Dr. Ibegbulem made the remarks on Saturday while speaking with journalists during the Presidential Primary Election held at Ute-Okpu Ward 7 in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State.

The former Principal Secretary said the large turnout of party faithful and supporters during the exercise reflected growing confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership and economic direction.

According to him, Nigerians who believe in the country’s future have continued to rally behind the administration despite challenges associated with ongoing economic reforms.

“Of course, as you can see, we believe strongly in the economic policies of Mr. President, our leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. You can see the level of mobilisation today. We are in total support of his administration,” he said.

Dr. Ibegbulem specifically commended major economic decisions taken by the Federal Government, including the removal of fuel subsidy, the floating of the naira and ongoing infrastructure development efforts across the country.

He maintained that while some of the reforms may appear difficult in the short term, they are necessary steps towards building a stronger and more sustainable economy.

“We are in total support of the removal of fuel subsidy. We are in total support of the floating of the naira. We are also in total support of infrastructural development initiatives that have been put in place for Nigerians. We stand fully with our President,” he stated.

Calling on residents and supporters to remain steadfast, Dr. Ibegbulem urged Nigerians to continue supporting President Tinubu’s administration and its reform agenda.

Speaking on the conduct of the primary election, he described the exercise as peaceful, transparent and reflective of the wishes of party members.

“The process has been very peaceful and transparent. You can see that the will of the people has prevailed,” he said.

Expressing optimism ahead of the general election, Dr. Ibegbulem predicted stronger participation beyond party membership, noting that many Nigerians who are not part of the APC would also support President Tinubu at the polls.

“You are going to see much more during the main election because there are many people who are not APC members that are not here today. During the main election, you will see their support,” he added.

The Presidential Primary Election across Delta State witnessed participation by party members as the APC continued consultations and mobilisation ahead of future electoral contests.

Executive Director of EBICWD, Amb. (Mrs.) Endurance Nwachukwu

The epoch event, which took place on Thursday 21 May, 2026 at Ogbe secondary school, attracted an array of dignitaries from the Delta State human rights community, including Activist Kelvin Ejumudo – intrepid human rights defender in Nigeria and Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, on Human Rights; and vibrant journalist and public affairs analyst, Comrade Emeka Nwokocha.

Speaking to the male students of Ogbe Secondary School, the Executive Director of EBICWD, Amb. Endurance Nwachukwu congratulated the male students for attracting global recognition tailored at promoting their well-being.

She enlightened the students about the event, stating that the Int’l Day of the Boy Child is celebrated on May 16th each year. “The day recognizes the importance of boys’ well-being and the challenges they face, while also celebrating the positive aspects they bring to their communities and families,” she added.

The EBICWD Executive Director, Amb. Nwachukwu spoke  on the theme of this year’s event: “Flourish and Thrive: Investing in Boys for stronger families and communities.”

She charged the students to uphold their self esteem and imbibe good morals and societal values to strengthen and empower them to become good ambassadors of society.

She educated the male students about the dangers of negative peer pressure, saying “It’s a leading driver of youth involvement in crimes, cultism, and exposure to sexual violence like rape.”

Continuing, Amb. Nwachukwu advised the students to shun social vices and focus on their education being the legitimate route to becoming responsible citizens to their parents, community, and the country, adding that education serves as the primary foundation for personal development and prosperity.

She sternly warned that dropping one’s guard against negative peer influence is a primary gateway to gang involvement, substance abuse, and sexual victimization.

She concluded by inspiring the male students with a powerful slogan, “If you see something, say something, and do something,” even as she encouraged the male students to stay on course in their academic studies, praying that they would become great personalities in the near future.

Also speaking, Comrade Emeka Nwokocha, commended the male students for their composure and enthusiasm to learn, stating that such disposition is a desideratum for building a progressive youth-driven society.

He encouraged the students to take their education very seriously and commit to regular studies, stating that such discipline is all the students need to excel in their academic journey.

He commended the management of the school under the headship of the principal for putting in their best to ensure Ogbe Secondary School stands out as one of the best in Delta State, and Nigeria.

Adding his perspective to enrich the event, Activist Kelvin Ejumudo, who doubles as National Secretary of CRCEI encouraged the boys to say “No To Cultism and Rape.

He advised the male students to steer clear of drug and substance abuse, stressing the near irredeemable effects of drug abuse on persons that take illicit drugs

Activist Ejumudo further advised the students against keeping bad company who oftentimes lure them into taking drugs and other antisocial behaviours.

Speaking at the end of the event, Master Chidera, an SS 2 student of the school, commended EBICWD and partners for celebrating boys on this year’s International Day of the Boy Child, stating that the advice given to them was quite educative and enriching.

He said the students would take the advice serious and avoid behaviour or indulgence that promote vices in the society.

He added, “We pledge our commitment to our studies and steer clear of drug and crime.”

The highpoint of the event was presentation of gifts – Rollon, Shaving stick and body spray to male students of Ogbe Secondary school.

The Vice Chancellor of Southern Delta University, Prof. Sunny Awhefeada, has charged staff and students of the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies to embrace innovation, global relevance, academic integrity, and collaboration in order to reposition the institution as a globally visible and nationally relevant university.

Prof. Awhefeada gave the charge during his official visit to the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies at the university, describing the visit as “homecoming” owing to his sabbatical stay in the department between 2023 and 2024.

Speaking on the vision of his administration, Prof. Awhefeada said the university under his leadership would strive to become “a globally visible, nationally relevant and inclusive university,” while its mission would focus on “repositioning for human sustainability through innovation and creativity.”

According to him, global visibility would depend largely on the quality of research output, publications, and scholarly interventions by members of the university community.

He urged academics in the faculty to intensify efforts in publishing books and articles in reputable and high-impact journals capable of positively influencing humanity.

The Vice Chancellor stressed that scholars must take advantage of the university’s mandates of research, teaching, and community service to intervene in global issues through intellectual contributions and media engagement.

On national relevance, Prof. Awhefeada observed that Nigeria’s numerous socio-economic and political challenges present opportunities for scholars in communication and media studies to contribute meaningfully to national discourse.

“As a Faculty of Communication, you have the tool more than any other faculty to let the world know that there is a university in Ozoro and Orerokpe,” he said.

He further emphasized inclusiveness, stating that the institution should be open to attracting both African and non-African scholars as members of staff.

He highlighted the university’s stable academic calendar, existing academic infrastructure, and hostel facilities as advantages that could attract global partnerships and participation.

Prof. Awhefeada also called on the faculty to contribute towards addressing challenges threatening humanity, including climate change, flooding, hunger, unemployment, terrorism, and war.

He urged lecturers and students to think creatively about how the media and communication discipline could help redeem humanity and promote sustainable development.

The Vice Chancellor encouraged interdisciplinary collaboration among the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, the Department of Theatre Arts, the ICT Directorate, and the English Department to deliver holistic academic and professional outcomes.

He disclosed that the university administration would organize workshops and seminars to train staff on grant applications, fellowships, and innovative academic practices aimed at enhancing professional growth and institutional development.

Addressing lecturers directly, Prof. Awhefeada urged them to mentor students effectively and nurture future media professionals and public intellectuals in the  likes of Reuben Abati, Charles Aniagwu, and Pat Utomi.

He further stressed the need for academic ethics, character, and professionalism, warning staff against all forms of corruption and sexual harassment.

“Every staff of Southern Delta University is being enlisted into a campaign against corruption,” he said, adding that lecturers must ensure students can graduate from the university without being subjected to extortion or exploitation.

The Vice Chancellor concluded by urging staff members to become good time managers, remain open-minded, think big, and maximize the opportunities within their disciplines for the advancement of the university and society at large.

Dignitaries present were Prof Presly Obukoadata, the Deputy VC, Prof Ogochukwu Emiri, the University Librarian, Dr. Fr Christian Igwe, Dean, Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Dr Solo-Anaeto, HOD Journalism and Media Studies Department, HODs of various departments, lecturers, student representatives amongst others.

Sir Itiako Ikpokpo Calls for Isoko Nation’s Unity, Purposeful Leadership

The former Chairman of Isoko South Local Government Council and a Senatorial aspirant in the just concluded All Progressive Congress primaries, Sir Itiako Ikpokpo has challenged Isoko political class and Community leaders to evolve a workable strategy towards attracting government development projects to Isoko land.

Sir Itiako Ikpokpo gave the charge today at his country home, Uro-Irri while briefing Journalists following his withdrawal from the Delta South Senatorial All Progressive Congress primaries.

According to him, projects such as the dualization of Oleh-Olomoro-Iyede road, sustainable power supply to lsoko as exemplified by Uzere Community pilot project to increase the economic base of the Isoko people should be prioritized.

Sir Ikpokpo, one time ALGON chairman and ALGON Director General stated that, his driving force to contest the Senatorial seat was to add value to society because he has gone beyond Local Government Chairman, ALGON and unfold his vision and agenda with the view of building capacity to move the Senatorial District to the next level.

He charged the lsoko people to re-awaken their consciousness to get things in right perspective and decried the way and manner the leaders are piloting lsoko affairs presently.

Responding to a question on the role played by Isoko Development Union (IDU) during the build up to the recent party primaries, Sir Ikpokpo condemned in strong term the attitude of IDU leadership for not being firm and called for “reengineering the leadership to have more capacity to champion the course and aspirations of Isoko people before the government”.

He faulted the drivers of the Isoko IDU for not providing a level playing ground to every aspirants to market themselves and test their popularity.

He also pointed out that Isoko Nationality has several people with diverse capacity to represent them in any government position, stating that IDU has lost its bearing to oratory at the expense of good leadership that can drive the process in the right direction

Sir Ikpokpo therefore, urged Isoko leaders to run a leadership mechanism to be led by an independent person who would be a voice for the Isoko nation and not necessarily somebody in government.

On his plans towards 2031, the former Isoko South Council boss pointed out that, it was too early to talk about 2031 but “what we should be doing now is to rally support for our Governor, Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori to succeed and finish strong”.

Reacting to allegations that he was being sponsored by some prominent politicians from other tribes, Sir Ikpokpo debunked the reports and warned those persons who use the social media to tarnish people’s reputation built over the years to desist forthwith as there are always repercussions for impuning on the integrity of people.

On the possibility of sharing his ‘CLUE’ agenda, which was his fulcrum of his campaign with the incumbent for the Senatorial seat, Sir Ikpokpo said that, his doors are wide open as a politician for everybody who cares to share in his vision.

Speaking on his involvement on the Niger Delta Games, Sir Ikpokpo stated that the Niger-Delta Development Commission’s sponsored sport fiesta, is an avenue not only for fertile socio-cultural interaction but also a platform to harness talents to represent the country in international competitions like the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games.

Incumbent Senator representing Delta South Senatorial District, Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, has emerged winner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary election for the 2027 general elections, defeating his only challenger, Hon. Michael Diden, by a wide margin.

Announcing the results at the APC collation centre in Oleh on Monday night, the chairman of the election panel declared that Senator Joel-Onowakpo polled 87,805 votes to defeat Diden, who secured 30,794 votes.

The incumbent senator reportedly led in seven out of the eight local government areas declared during the exercise, while Diden won in his home local government area of Warri North.

Speaking shortly after being declared winner, Senator Joel-Onowakpo expressed gratitude to God and appreciated key leaders of the party for supporting his re-election bid.

He specifically thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, and Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, for their support and leadership throughout the primary process.

The senator also commended party leaders, local government chairmen, security agencies, and APC stakeholders across the eight local government areas in Delta South for what he described as their commitment to a peaceful and credible primary election.

According to him, the overwhelming victory was a clear demonstration of the confidence the people of Delta South have in his representation at the National Assembly.

“The way the people voted shows they have a lot of confidence in me, and I want to assure them that I will continue to provide quality representation,” he said.

Joel-Onowakpo added that he would be returning to the Senate not as a first-time legislator but as a ranking senator prepared to attract greater benefits and stronger representation for the people of Delta South Senatorial District.

He further called on party members and supporters to remain united ahead of the 2027 general elections, expressing optimism that the APC would record another massive victory at the polls.

Wither Political Practice Without Morals in Society, Discourse of Actual Democratic Gains to Constituents

By

By Jonadab Edede

Political practice without morals may produce temporary political victories, but it can hardly deliver lasting democratic gains to society.

Democracy is not built merely on elections, political parties, or constitutional structures.

Its true strength lies in values such as honesty, justice, accountability, integrity, and genuine service to the people.

Once politics becomes disconnected from these moral foundations, democracy may continue to exist in name, while its real benefits gradually disappear.

Politics practiced with morals brings enormous advantages to society.

It promotes transparency in governance, strengthens public trust in leadership, encourages accountability, and creates a system where leaders place public interest above personal gain.

Moral politics also helps to reduce corruption, promotes peaceful coexistence among citizens, strengthens democratic institutions, and encourages fairness in the distribution of national resources.

When morality guides political leadership, citizens are more likely to experience good governance through improved infrastructure, better education, accessible healthcare, security of lives and property, economic opportunities, and protection of human rights.

A morally guided political system also inspires patriotism and national unity because citizens develop confidence in both their leaders and democratic institutions.

Conversely, politics practiced without morals creates serious dangers for society and democracy itself.

It encourages corruption, abuse of power, election rigging, political violence, manipulation of ethnic and religious sentiments, and the suppression of opposition voices.

Leaders who operate without moral principles often place personal ambition above national development, while public resources meant for the people are diverted for selfish interests.

The consequences of immoral politics are usually visible in rising poverty, unemployment, insecurity, weak institutions, decaying infrastructure, poor public services, and widespread frustration among citizens.

In such environments, elections may still hold regularly, yet democracy becomes empty because the people no longer enjoy the true dividends of democratic governance.

True democratic gains are reflected in the daily lives of the people. These include equal justice, security, transparent leadership, quality education, improved healthcare, economic opportunities, and the freedom of citizens to express their opinions without fear.

Such achievements are usually possible only where morality and responsibility guide political leadership.

Morality in politics does not imply perfection. Politics naturally involves competition, negotiation, and compromise.

However, when the pursuit of power becomes completely separated from ethics and public interest, democracy slowly loses its true purpose and turns into a system driven mainly by selfish ambition.

In many developing democracies, including Nigeria, citizens continue to question whether democracy is truly benefiting the common man.

The answer often depends on the moral character of political leaders and the willingness of citizens to demand accountability and good governance.

A society that tolerates immoral political practices for too long may continue to conduct elections, yet gradually lose the true spirit and purpose of democracy itself.

Enhwe Community Condemn Monarch’s Son, Prince Eduvie Efekodha Over “Deve” Collection, Usurpation, Impersonation of the King, Community Leaders

The President General and his executives, the elders, women and youths of Enhwe community in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State has condemned in totality the blockade of the community Urri-road by Prince Larry Eduvie Efekodha and his cohorts to collect development fees, popularly known ‘DEVE’ (money) from EMOROCK CONSULT Ltd and denied the arrest of the Monarch of the community.

The community elders, youths and women in their numbers led by the Secretary, Elder Michael Akpakpa embarked on a protest carrying placards with different inscriptions, including “that Prince Larry Eduvie Efekodha is not representing Enhwe”; “Enhwe does not belong to Efekodha family”;  “Prince Larry Eduvie Efekodha, you are too greedy”;  “Efekodha Children should Let Enhwe breath”; “High Chief Victor Wayles Egukhawhore has done well for us” and  “The Company, Emorock consult Ltd, is owned by our beloved son”

Meanwhile, the forceful collection of development fees called DEVE, has been specifically prohibited under the Delta State Public and Private Properties Protection Law, 2018.

Under this law, the Offence specifies that “It is a crime for community leaders, youth groups, or individuals to demand or forcefully collect any levy, fee, or rate (such as 10% land sales fees) from property owners and developers”.

Elder Michael Akpakpa stated that, the community and the elders, youths and the women are not in support of the Monarch son’s blockade of the Urhi-Enhwe road in order to collect development fees from High Chief Victor Wayles Egukhawhore’s company that is dredging sand from the area.

He added that, Enhwe community stand with High Chief Victor Wayles Egukhawhore and his company called EMOROCK CONSULT Ltd, that has brought high stride infrastructural development in the areas of  multiple good roads and lighting of the community.

Chief Oyibo Omare, spokesperson of the Elders Council also said, the community has no hands in the blockade of Urhi-Enhwe road by Prince Larry Eduvie Efekodha and his cohorts, that the community is not a conquered territory of the Monarch’s children.

He noted that the allegation that High Chief Victor Wayles Egukhawhore’s company is operating illegally on the dredging site is false, adding that the dredging site was duly allocated to him by the community during the tenure of the previous President General, Chief Ogodo Mike.

“In fact, the community returned the money paid for the site during that tenure, confirming the transaction and acceptance”.

According to him, the company is operating with the knowledge and consent of the community and is not there illegally as falsely claimed by the hoodlums who only wanted to collect development levy “DEVE” for their personal gains and selfish motives

Mr. Idisi Omoyibo and Mr. Ememerakpo Amata who are land owners in Urhi-Enhwe road confirmed to newsmen that, they rented the upland as sand dump site to High Chief Victor Wayles EGUKAWORE company while the Canal belongs to the community and not HRM Anthony Onomuefe Efekodha, Ejuzi 11 as personal property.

Succinctly in a statement signed by President General of Enhwe Clan Development Association, Dr. Emmanuel Okworigho and the Secretary, Chief Michael Omo-Odudu debunked the alleged arrest of HRM Anthony Efekhoda, Ovie of Enhwe kingdom, described it as false and malicious.

The statement also read that, “The Monarch is presently sick and unable to come out publicly. Taking advantage of this, his son, Mr Larry Eduvie Efekhoda has been usurping the powers and authority of the stool. The person arrested by security agencies was Mr Larry Eduvie Efekhoda for this act of usurpation, collecting money from companies working in the community, wanting to be the President General of the Enhwe. His Royal Majesty remains on the throne and has not been arrested”.

They noted that, “Enhwe community has a duly elected and recognized President General, Dr Emmanuel Okworigho, who was duly elected and emerged in accordance with the Delta State Regulation of Community Development Association Law, 2021.

“The President General, Dr Emmanuel Okworigho and his executive were issued Certificate of Recognition by the Delta State Ministry of Women Affairs, Community & Social Development, Asaba. The Ministry is the statutory authority for CDAs in Delta State. Any claim of an “interim President General” outside this process is illegal, null, and void”.

On the alleged arrest of Youth and Women Leaders, they said that the claim that the Youth Leader and Women Leader were arrested is false and misleading,

They stated further in their statement that the he individuals in question are no longer the recognized youth leader and women leaders of Enhwe Community.

“They were arrested alongside Mr Larry Eduvie Efekhoda for unlawfully blocking a viable community road, an act that disrupted public order. This has no connection to the legitimate leadership of the community”

The community however demand that Mr. Akpobome Paul Emiyede and his group immediately retract these false statements and publish an unreserved apology in the same media outlets within 48 hours.

“Failure to comply will compel us to pursue civil and criminal action for defamation, impersonation, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We urge the public to disregard the said press conference as it’s a group of hoodlums who are being paid by Prince Larry Eduvie Efekhoda who is using the money being paid to him by Tantita’s surveillance money and to continue to usurp the legitimate traditional and community leadership of Enhwe kingdom”

By Emmanuel Ekebe 

Hon. Dickson Fineboy Ebegbare of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has promised to put smile on the faces of the people of Isoko Federal Constituency once he gets into the Federal House of Representatives in 2027.

Speaking to the Press at James Ekpre Otobo Hall in Oleh on Sunday 17th May, 2026, Ebegbare declared that he emerged as the flag bearer of the APC in the just concluded party primary.

He stated that as a faithful party man, he had chosen to remain and build the party long before the band wagon defection into the APC by the PDP despite the oppressive domination that followed.

According to him, ” I choose to remain in the party with the belief that God is the one that gives power”; adding that he remained steadfast ” because a lot of destinies in APC are relying on me…”.

“I thus contested the primary election with the belief that I will win, and as God will have it, I have won the election”.

On the report that the incumbent is also claiming victory in the same primary election, Hon. Ebegbare stated that” that is for him, because the reports are there… Yesterday, a whole lot of things happened in the field till this morning when voting took place…”

“That claim like you asked is personal to him. I’m the original and authentic winner of the ticket and I will be able to prove it anywhere and any time”.

Ebegbare, popularly known as Fineboy, assured that his plan for the people of Isoko Federal Constituency when he gets to the Green Chambers is to “simply do what ‘they’ have not been doing and that is, engaging the people, reaching out, creating avenues for empowerment, developing sports, creating mini- industries as well as driving skill acquisition programmes and you will make millionaires from there… So, my own is to serve this land and do something different from their own”.

As at the time of filing this report, all attempt to reach the incumbent House of Representatives member for the Isoko Federal Constituency, Hon Jonathan Ukodhiko for his reaction was not successful as his phone rang out without response.

It could be recalled that in the 2023 general election, Dickson Ebegbare from Ivrogbo-Irri in Isoko South LGA had slugged it out with Jonathan Ukodhiko from Isoko North LGA who was then declared winner admist controversial circumstances.
