AHEAD OF 2019: WHY GOV OKOWA CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM HIS ACHIEVEMENTS

Gov Okowa and Barr Uzum

The nexus of leadership is providing the basics of life to the people.  Protection of lives and properties as well, is of crucial importance. Ensuring food sufficiency,  securing health and infrastructure is key in gauging development strides.

 Let us not lose sight of prudent management of resources, this is where capacity rolls in.
In a complex environment like ours,  management of human relations is pivotal in steering the ship of the state.
Delta has experienced a whole lot of transformation in the last three years. From revamping of technical education to road infrastructure, the narratives changed a lot more for the better.

THE MAN THE GAME, THE OFFICE AND THE PEOPLE BY BARR UZUM

Barr Uzum

From A passerby travelling from illah through Ndokwa to Ika towns.

Gentlemen as a passerby, I took a glass of cold water to ponder on the uneasy and interesting times that we are in as a People and came out with this bit.

The game of Politics has reared its beautiful but bestial head again.  Green horns are perming 3 from 4 while the Mavericks are underground doing exploit.

Sincerely, in the interest of the generality of Anioma people, one has tried to be fair and equitable in managing choices but the game still remains politics.

 The men in question are sons of Anioma who have done well atleast  for themselves.

The picture is clearer now that one is a crack Politician and the other a consumate lawyer.

Sen Nwaoboshi is a crack politician just hand it to him.  Have we bothered to note that politics is in phases?  Let's take a cue from the man and his style.  Some are running like Tmoro is general elections . Sen Nwaoboshi has caused the party leadership smiles knowing  full  well that we are headed for delegate dance.  He has raised the stakes in managing the minds of party men and women.  Trust me he has shown he knows party Politics.  Sen Nwaoboshi is closer to the traditional institution today and meandering well at tjis phase of the election.

I am sure his strategies will change after winning the primaries.  I say this with all authority to the few without  this understanding that Sen Peter Nwaoboshi is way ahead of this game.

The People we talk about are Aniomas home and abroad.  Let's leave that for another day.  If you know you know.  Senator Nwaoboshi is coasting back to the Senate again 2019/2023.
Embrace reality  now.

SERVICE BEYOND MY PERSONAL ASPIRATION BY EA UZUMNISM

Barr Azuka Eugene Uzum

My aspiration into Delta State House of Assembly was driven by service and the quest to improve beyond where we are.  From the beginning, the capacity was not in question. I know I have the drive to make improvements at the House of Assembly.

As a lawyer,  I noticed the gaps and the drive to fill the blank spaces was my aspiration.  Today, I've stepped down to support the incumbent.  I still have the conviction that Uzumnism is the man but that may not be politically correct.  As a party man I strictly abide by the dictates of my party, the PDP.

These were Dr. Uduaghan’s words when he played host to the Itsekiri Chapter of Host Communities of Nigeria (Producing Oil and Gas) at his Warri residence earlier today.
