[dropcap]O[/dropcap]shimili North is endowed with young talented people who are doing great in their various fields, stemming from engineering down to sciences, arts, education, trading, agriculture, entertainment, fashion, banking just name, except politics. It is no longer news how the average Oshimili North youths lack political recognition.

The very few young people who are admitted into the corridors of political power today, are just there for formality because they are not part of decision and policy makers, rather they are tools been used by the so called political gladiators (The same old politicians from time immemorial).

While some of the said youths are being used as political thugs, others are used as errand boys and girls in the names of Personal Assistants, Legislative Aides, Special Assistant on this matter and that matter. But I am here to say that enough is enough.

Enough of recycling hence it is high time the Oshimili North youths stand up to their rights by taking their place in leadership, come 2019 let the old ones give way and the youths be given the mantle of leadership.

Let’s draw examples from western countries such as Europe, America and Asia, there is a paradigm shift, young leaders are emerging and providing resourceful and purposeful leadership. From Emmanuel Macron of France to Saleh Ali al-Sammad of Yemen not forgetting Vanessa D’Ambrosio of San Marino, Europe, for goodness sake, she is just 29. Yet Africa is still lacking behind this has to stop come 2019.

Oshimili North Youths have the charisma, political prowess, dexterity, foresight and innovations to lead. This is because they are abreast with what is happening in and around the world. The fact that Oshimili North has been stagnated by virtue of recycled politicians is enough for us to cry for a change.

We can’t keep electing the same set of politicians and expect significant development (Its like doing same thing over and over again expecting different result). NOOO! Enough of the recycling of women. Let us give the Oshimili North youths a chance in the upcoming election to save us from this abject poverty and restore Oshimili North  to light. God has blessed us with natural resources which we ought to be enjoying the dividends now.

The time is now for Oshimili North to be great again. Let us support our creative youths…. Is a good thing that our own Hon. Innocent Esewezie is willing to contest for the Oshimili North House of Assembly.  We owe him our maximum support if not for anything let us test a youth with power. Lets give him the needed support because he has showed us what he can do when given the chance. Considering his achievements and contributions to Oshimili North land. I believe and I know you believe he will do the unimaginable if we send him to represent us. Vote for a youth.  Hon. Innocent Esewezie is the HOPE OF  YOUTHS.

Let the elders play advisory and counseling role while the youths be in power because it is easier for a youth to meet an elder for advice and counseling. The time has come when Oshimili North needs ‘MEN LIBERATION’ because since 1999 , women have been representing Oshimili North in the Delta State House of Assembly. Let give Ozigbo Ozigbo a chance now.

Oshimili North will be great again.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he yet to be abated political crisis rocking the Aniocha North local government area of Delta state has taken a new dimension as the leader of the legislative Arm Ekene Nwaonye allegedly thrown dignity to the wind and beat up the Clark of the House, Mrs. Ifeoma Igbordo.

Our correspondent reliably gathered that trouble started Thursday after the House concluded its sitting when Mr. Nwaonye requested that the Clark handover the mace, the symbol of authority to him but Mrs. Igbordo refused, leading to her being allegedly beaten up by the angry leader.

“When the Clark refused to handover the Maize to him, he decided to forcefully take the mace from her but the Clark refused which resulted into argument. The leader then bounced on the Clark and torn her clothes in a bid to get possession of the mace and he forcefully took the mace from her and entered into his car and zoomed off”. our source said.

it was gathered that the clark then reported to her husband who formally launched the complaint at the Issele-Uku Divisional Police Station and the office of the Department of Security Service (DSS), who stormed the council in a bid to apprehend the fleeing lawmaker. As at the time of filing in this report, news of his arrest is still sketchy; however our source said the leadership of the council was on top of the matter.

Confirming the incident, the media assistant to the council chairman, Mr. Matthew Nwanaza, told our correspondent that the chairman, Mr. Chuks Oseme, was unhappy over the development.

It would be recall that political crisis brewed in the Council following alleged fight between the council chairman, Oseme, the member representing Aniocha North constituency in the state Assembly, Emeka Nwobi and the sacked commissioner for culture and tourism, Dan Okenyi, following power tussle of who controls the council. A faction of the councilors were inaugurated Monday 15th January 2018, by Mr. Nwobi and Mr. Okenyi at the council secretariat, Issele-Uku with Nwobi’s loyalist, Ekene Nwaonye of ward 8, installed as the leader of the legislative arm without the consent of the council boss, Mr. Oseme.
