Okowa Salutes Ohworode Of Olomu On Centenary Birthday
Delta State Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has congratulated the oldest reigning king in Delta State, His Royal Majesty, Royal Canon, Ovie Richard Layeguen Ogbon Ogoni-Oghoro 1, the Ohworode of Olomu Kingdom, on his centenary birthday which comes up on Friday 20th January, 2017 and the 29th anniversary of his coronation to the ancient throne of his forefathers.
Gov. Okowa described the Royal Canon as a man blessed by God to have attained 100 years on earth and still looking strong and healthy.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, on Thursday in Asaba, Governor Okowa prayed that the legacy of peace, harmony, prosperity and steadfast progress which the Olomu Kingdom has witnessed since the monarch’s reign would endure perpetually.
The Governor also prayed to God to continue to bless the centenarian monarch with robust health and many more years of fulfilment.
"On behalf of my family, the government and people of Delta State, I felicitate with your Royal Majesty, Ovie R. L. Ogbon Ogoni, Olomu 1, the Ohworode of Olomu Kingdom, on the occasion of your glorious centenary birthday and 29th years anniversary celebration of your ascension to the ancient throne of your forefathers.
“In the last 29 years on the throne, His Royal Majesty, Olomu 1, has demonstrated exemplary leadership by living above board, while remaining as the rallying point and inspiration for his subjects.
“As a custodian of culture and tradition, the Ohworode has played significant roles in the promotion of harmony among the Olomu kingdom, the Urhobo nation and Deltans in general.
“He has also helped socio-cultural cooperation, communal living and peaceful co-existence among the Urhobo and other ethnic groups in the state.
“The ideals of uncommon patriotism, unparalleled humility and sterling leadership qualities which you epitomize are worthy traits that will continue to inspire us in our S.M.A.R.T. Agenda,” the Governor stated.
The governor wishes the Ohworode well as he celebrates and also congratulates the people of Olomu kingdom for giving the monarch all the needed support and cooperation in the past twenty nine years.
AWARE of the impacts of poorly constructed road projects in the socio-economic development of the state, the Delta State Government has cautioned erring contractors against poor quality work, saying that it will not pay for projects that will not stand the test of the time.
The state government also stressed its readiness to introduce compulsory testing of soil samples and quality of asphalt materials before the execution of any projects in the state, once the state laboratory facility at Ughelli is ready for full operation, for longevity of infrastructures.
The state Commissioner for Works, Chief James Augoye who dropped the hint during the inspection of the on-going state projects across the state (at Ozoro/Oleh ongoing Road project), said that the state will not pay for any project executed without specification.
He noted that the series of roads failure recorded in some roads may have stemmed from poorly executed works, adding that the state government will no longer tolerate poorly constructed projects devoid of contract agreement. While he cautioned and threatened to apply the sledge hammer on erring contractors, the state government, he said, will be compelled to relocate ongoing projects from any aggressive community which disrupts the progress of work to more peaceful ones, adding that government is not ready to apply to any community which does not want peace.
Chief Augoye while inspecting the ongoing rehabilitation of the old NPA 1.2km bye-pass dual carriage project in Warri, expressed satisfaction with the quality and pace of the concrete project, saying that it will stand the test of the time.
He equally inspected the ongoing rehabilitation of PTI Road, along Effurun Market, the ongoing 3.1km Ugbolokposo Road and the ongoing 7.9km rehabilitation/reconstruction of the Ekeprama/Ekrukpe/Useiefuru/Oruvworun Road/Drain project and commended the contractor in charge of the Ekeprama/Ekrukpe/Useiefuru/Oruvworun project for quality work.
Also,He inspected were the ongoing Otorere Olomu 1.1km Road project and the 8.87km Ozoro/Oleh Road project. He however commended the pace of work at the project sites, but urged the contractor handling the Otorere Olomu Road to commence stone base stage the moment wet soil (caused by rain fall recorded twice) dries up. source: ossaiovie blog
It’s no longer news that former Chief Whip of Delta State House of Assembly and member representing Warri South Constituency 1 in the House, Hon. Omawumi Udoh reportedly passed on at a London Hospital few weeks ago, but speculations are rife that while family, friends, political associates and colleagues may be mourning the departed lawmaker ahead of her imminent interment, underground lobby for her possible replacement in-line with the electoral act appears to have begun.
Ironically two names that have dominated social media space are persons from late Omawumi Udoh’s Okere Country home. They are Hon. Godwin Toritseju Abigor, who represented the Constituency after the April 2015 election before he was removed by an Appeal Court in Benin and Comrade Michael Tidi, a former Arch Rival of the late lawmaker, who until recently worked closely with her before the unfortunate death.
Hon. Godwin Abigor only recently returned to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP from the Social Democratic Party, SDP where he contested for the same seat with late Hon. Udoh and Barr. Robinson Ariyo of the APC. But rumour mill suggests that Hon. Abigor is keenly interested to vie for the Warri South Constituency 1 seat in the imminent Bye-election and his alleged aspiration is speculated to have the backing of former Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan as well as rich political forces cutting across the PDP and APC.
Though his phone line was not reachable at the time of this report, there are speculations that he might use the All Progressives Congress, APC platform to run for the legislative seat should Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and other political forces decide to deny him PDP platform.
Political Adviser to Governor Okowa, Hon. Omimi Esquire when contacted on phone on the issue stated “I don’t want to talk on that, it’s mere propaganda, we are still mourning and people are capitalizing on my closeness to the governor to spread all kinds of rumour”. Hon. Omimi Esquire is among names being mentioned as backers of Hon. Abigor.
Comrade Michael Tidi who gave late Omawumi Udoh a run for her money in the 2011 poll before he became the lawmaker’s close Ally/Aide before her demise is believed to have the strong support of former Chairman of Warri North Local Government Area and current member representing Warri North Constituency in Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Michael Diden A.K.A. Ejele.
It could not be ascertained as at press time if Hon. Michael Diden’s visit to the released former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori in London has any direct bearing on lobby to push for Michael Tidi’s rumoured aspiration, but Comrade Tidi have not yet decleared because he still grieving the loss of his leader. I will talk to you after she’s interred, we are still mourning”.(Tidi said)
Some close political associates of Delta State Commissioner for Transport, Mr. Vincent Uduaghan who spoke to your soaring tabloid, brushed off rumours of the commissioner eyeing the seat even though he was an aspirant to the position in the 2015 polls.
The APC candidate for the position in the 2015 polls, Barr. Robinson Ariyo in a private telephone chat Monday December 26 told Our Correspondent that he was undecided if he will run for the legislative seat, saying God and political party leaders will decide.
Meanwhile, there are strong indications that while other names like Hon. Griftson Omatsuli are being mentioned in social circle, a major dark force that enjoys the trust of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli may emerge PDP candidate for the seat.
The force (name withheld) presently occupies on elected office and refused to be dragged into the conversation on whether or not he will vie for the Warri South Constituency 1 seat in the Bye-line election expected to be conducted between March and April 2017.
DELTA State Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa inaugurated the 2016 cycle of his administration’s job creation scheme saying entrepreneurship is the way out of the unemployment challenges facing the country.
According to the governor, getting jobs in government organizations are becoming very difficult based on the high number of graduates chasing the few opportunities available, observing that the way out was for people to acquire skills, empowered to be self sufficient and become employers of labour. The governor who spoke at the inauguration ceremony which took place at the Songhai-Delta training centre Amukpe reiterated, “we are training you to become job creators that we need in Delta State, you are here to improve on your lives and be in a position to be employers of labour.”
“I believe that you are going to step into a greater future. I want to see you as better Deltans, Deltans who will say, I have been able to create jobs for my self and jobs for others,” he said, disclosing, “I have visited some farms and I have seen the enthusiasm from those who graduated from these programmes; if you want to succeed, you must be passionate about what you are doing.”
Governor Okowa who assured Deltans the programme would be continuous, further advised the participant, “you have to be committed to that which you have learnt because, I have a passion to turn many youths of Delta State into persons who will create jobs for others; you should rely on God and you will succeed in whatever you do and do not sell your starter packs.”
He also, urged graduates of the programme to ensure that they give thanks to God stating, “you are going to reap more if you are dedicated to God.”
The Chairman of the Delta State Traditional Rulers Council, HRM Emmanuel Efeizomor II, Obi of Owa who spoke on behalf of traditional rulers who attended the ceremony, expressed satisfaction with the success stories of the empowerment programmes, asserting, “this is a revolution that put food on the table, revolution that will extricate you from the shackles of poverty.”
The Chief Job Creation Officer in the state, Prof. Eric Eboh in a speech, said, participants in the programme were for Skill Training and Entrepreneurship Programme (STEP), Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurs Programme (YAGEP), and Graduate Employment Enhancement Programme (GEEP).
He stated, “as proof of growing stakeholders’ confidence in the job creation scheme, international development partners and non-governmental organizations have intensified technical support and collaboration for training, monitoring, service delivery feedback and mentoring.”

My dear deltans, permit me to bring to the attention of the general public the injustice and criminality currently being perpetrated by these musketeers on other ethnic nationalities.
1. The speaker of Delta State house of Asssembly, Hon Monday Ovwigho Igbuya..(he blocked me on Facebook, but may likely read this post). 2.Chairman house Committee on DESOPADEC, Hon Dennis Omovwie. 3.Chairman house committee on Finance and Appropriation, Erhiatake Ibori. 4. MD. DESOPADEC, Mr William Makinde. All Names Mentioned Above are all URHOBOS.
THE KEY ISSUES =============================================
Since the creation of the intervention agency (DESOPADEC) in 2007, by Governor James Ibori, the sole aim of the commission was geared at developing the OIL BEARING communities with 50% of the 13% crude oil allocation from the federal Government to the State. However, that has been of no resultant effect, as the commission as been a conduit pipe by some NEVER-DO-WELL politicians to enrich themselves to the detriment of the entire populace.
It might interest you to know that, the sharing formulae of accruable resources amongst ETHNIC NATIONALITIES have been through crude oil quantum production which stands at;
Ordinarily one with a sane mind would think in the direction as to the quantum production percentage as stated above, Alas! As these fact’ have been distorted with the just signed and approved Desopadec 2016 budget by the state Governor.
THE HIDDEN FACTS ABOUT THE PADDED BUDGET ========================================
In the 2016 Desopadec budget, what these 4 super powers did was to deduct stylishly from other ETHNIC Nationalities monies Just to satisfy and massage the ego of just one tribe, to the detriment of the remaining 4 tribes who are ITSEKIRI, ijaw, Isoko and Ndokwa. They systematically removed money from Other ethnic stock and added it to their centralized purse, so that novice wouldn’t understand how the game and the padding had been carried out.
Now let me explain to you in a lay man’s language. Omovwie who represents warri south constituency II took all the projects in the budget for his constituency to EDJEBA. If I may ask Omovwie, the monies from which he arrogated all the warri south projects to just EDJEBA came from where? DOES EDJEBA produce oil? **If This Is Not Wickedness, How Can A man include in the budget, Fencing Of EKPAN Police station at the a whooping cost of #30,000,000 (Thirty Million). Are they going to break the existing fence and refence? **The Total money accrued to just EDJEBA is about #350,000,000(three hundred and fifty million Naira ) **How can they collect money from other Ethnic Stock Just To Build A Palace For The Ovie of uvwie at a WHOOPING sum of #80,000,000 (eighty million). Ordinarily this shouldn’t be our business if they had used from urhobo budget to fund it. But to undermine other ethnic nationalities and collected from their money to do this is not only an insult, but an attempt to curse ethnic crises.
**Recall that the entire urhobo budget is about #700,000,000 (seven hundred million)***
**Building of Multipurpose hall at western Delta University Oghara is to cost #350,000,000(three hundred and fifty million Naira) a private university own by James Ibori. **The building of UGBENU market at Koko junction is to cost #150,000,000(one hundred and fifty million Naira).
If I continue highlighting them in this part, you may not be patient to continue on the series….the mind blowing figures deducted from other ethnic nationalities budget is alarming and shocking.
CC: Ijaw Youth Council ITSEKIRI National Youth Council Isoko Youth Council Ndokwa Youths Council Injustice has been melted on the other oil bearing nationalities, if we all don’t rise up against this broad day light CRIMINALITY and WICKEDNESS, we may never get out of this evil machinations melted on us by these musketeers..
