THE SURUGEDE: DESPERATE URGE OF SELFISH '14 ABUJA' GUBER ASPIRANTS

As the drum from the land of the spirit continues to churn out sweet melodies, the sun bird (Nza in ibo) standing by the roadside continues to hop around in complete ecstasy of what its ear was hearing. The probing eyes of the ordinary being wondered in confusion and surprise to what the sun bird was doing but as we say in our adage....''The bird that dances by the bush path has an ear listening to a sweet song coming out from the bush''

As the communiqué issued by the '14 Abuja' governorship aspirants continues to attract more controversial views, new developments are beginning to send strong wind to expose the anus of the fowl. When Delta Decides (DD) raised an alarm last week on the desperate ambition of these governorship aspirants implicated in an alleged signature forgery, we were called names by their political surrogates, they didnt stop at name calling, we were also threatened of legal action but now, we are justified as more revelations have continued to trail the purported communique issued by these aspirants.

DELTA 2015: OBUH PICKS GUBER FORM ***Says his journey to the Unity House Asaba is a done deal

The political Wada House of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja, hosted a credible politician today as star PDP gubernatorial aspirant, Sir Tony Chuks Obuh procured the party's governorship nomination forms.

Obuh was accompanied by the Director General of Tony Obuh Guber 2015 Project, Chief (Barrister) Fred Majemite and other top Delta State PDP Chieftains.

Speaking to reporters, Obuh declared that his journey to the Unity House, Asaba is a done deal.

"It is now clear to those who have been peddling rumours in the past couple of days that Sir Obuh is at best the political "John The Baptist" who came to announce the coming of the "Real Aspirant" that their source of information is of a truth "barren and politically misleading". One of his campaigners said.

Project 2015 Boss, Chief Majemite while also speaking said that Obuh is not just an aspirant but the best and most qualified among the legion, some of whom are currently sponsoring faceless political groups to publish falsehood, character assassination deliberately targeted at our amiable Governor, His Excellency the Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmaunuel Iweta Uduaghan and star governorship aspirant, Sir Tony Obuh.

He said the Governor by virtue of his position as the Leader of PDP in Delta State is a major stakeholder who by PDP and Nigerian constitutional provisions possess the right to participate and discuss issues and events that pertains the survival and progress of PDP and Delta State.

Chief Majemite said that Project 2015 will no longer deal with "Petty Political Issues (PPI)" especially now that Sir Obuh has picked the Governorship Nomination
Forms (GNF).

He appealed to all political pressure groups currently mobilizing for the landslide victory of Sir Obuh both for the party primaries and 2015 polls to intensify efforts in their "neighbour to neighbour" mobilization across the length and breathe of Delta State to ensure that after "Coca-Cola" soft drink, that Obuh's name ranks next in popularity.

However in different parts of the state, the news of Obuh's procurement of nomination forms sparked great excitement and jubilations as people particularly the youths in Asaba were seen chanting the Obuh Victory Train song.

IKA SOUTH VOTERS REGISTER DATABASE CRASHED-INEC ***To Deploy Machines to the Council Area

The Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, has said that the Ika south voters register database has crashed.

This was made known by INEC officials to the 52 clans that make up Ika south during the on-going review of the voters register, preparatory to issuing the PVC.

According to INEC, "we are sorry to inform you that the database of this local government council area crashed. In other words deleted from our system database and as such, INEC will be conducting another registration in all the wards soon."

While acknowledging that the fault came from their staff. They pointed out that the commission will deploy machines to the LG for the Indigenes to re-register.

However several calls put to Dr Cairo Ojougbo, the PDP leader in the LG to sort his views was not answered up to the time of filing this report.

Speaking to DELTA DECIDES, a 2015 house of assembly aspirant from the LG, Barr Felix Morka, said that there should be a back-up of the database which INEC is supposed to use to make provision for the permanent voters card.

He said it would not be possible to re-register those who have done so in the previous registration exercise.

While calling on INEC to rise to their
responsibility by spreading the information to the hooks and crannies in the council area, Barr. Morka pointed out that whilst the indigenes continue to do a fresh registration, there is need for the commission to make use of the back-up in providing the PVC.

DD gathered that it may not be possible especially in view of the time frame necessary to do the data capture and display for verifications before the up coming LG election slated for October.

Whilst rumors have it that intending indigenes are requested to come along with a passport photograph for the exercise.

However, it is not clear how the passport photographs and fingerprints will be captured in the subsequent PVC.

Leo Ogor, A Honorable and His Forth Term Ambition.

Rt. Hon Leonard Ogor Okuweh

The rumour has been going round for quite sometime now and as much as we try to waive it off, it keeps re-echoing. We are not saying that there is an element of truth in it neither are we saying that there is no iota of truth in it but we just can't keep it as it is our duty to sensitize the Delta electorates as the 2015 general election draws near.

The rumour mill has it that Hon. Leonard Okuweh Ogor, who is presently on his 3rd term in office is still interested in the lower house of the National Assembly.

According to a source who is very close to the lawmaker, the PDP deputy house leader who represents Isoko constituency at the house of representatives loves serving his people as he has been doing in the past 11 years and still going to do same in the remaining one year, therefore, he sees it as an obligation on his constituents to support his return to the lower house for a record 4th time.

A Sincere Advise to Political Surrogates...By Smart Ajaja

The best way to sell a candidate to the electorates is to espouse the good qualities of that candidate and his positions on critical issues, and not by attacking his opponents, using unsubstantiated frivolities, the consequences of which could be fatal if the voters are enlightened enough to read between the lines.

It is sad that Nigerian politics is played on the "Ghana must go" mentality rather than principles, issues and ideologies, and this accounts for why there are so many fools with money occupying sensitive positions they know nothing about and what is expected of anybody in those positions.

I hope the people would be wiser in 2015 by not casting votes based on emotion associated with allegiance to blood, tribe, religion or religious denominations, salt, rice beans and Ankara gifts, but on issues like Healthcare, economy, Job creation and security, Gender equality and social security etc,

Let's do things differently for a change.
