Ibusa Youths Council Election: Crisis looms as Obuzor Appoint Interim Youths Council  
By: Precious Erugo
HRM, Obi (Prof.) Louis Chelunor Nwoboshi
Obuzor of Igbuzo

With the tension rising in Ibusa community over the alleged inauguration of interim Ibusa Youths Council by his Royal Majesty, the Obuzor of Ibusa, Obi (Professor) Chelunor Nwoboshi and the Local Government Chairman,Hon. Innocent Eseweise against the constitution of the Ibusa Youths body and Delta State Ministry of Youths Election Guidelines despite the subsisting court injunction stopping any youths election in Ibusa. The Obuzor of Ibusa went ahead to inaugurate illegal Interim Ibusa Youths Council government to be led by his personal aide.

 
With reference to section 13 of  the Ibusa Youths Council Constitution, which Empowers only the out-going Youths President to constitute the electoral committee that can carry out their duties independently and oversee the electoral process of the incoming executives of the Youths body. It is very sad  for the entire Ibusa to witness how the palace twisted justice and manipulated the Ibusa Youths Council Constitutional Electoral process by illegally nominating a Caretaker executive leadership to the office of Ibusa Youths council headed by his palace aide while the case of suspension of Ibusa youths council election is still pending in the court of competent jurisdiction. 
 
The recent inauguration of interim government\electoral committee is a brazen abuse of power by traditional and political actors who are expected to be custodians of peace and order in the Community doing the contrary. It is shameful and disgraceful witnessing  the current Ibusa Youths Council saga at the moment. It was a deliberate attempt by the Obuzor and the Local Government Chairman to bypass the constitution of the Ibuzor youths council and impose leadership with Unpopular candidate through backdoor arrangement. 
 
According to the out-going Secretary of Ibusa Youths Council, Comrade Vincent Olimmah, who condemned the recent inauguration of the illegal action of the palace saying that the proposed Youths election was illegally punctured by a group of persons who deliberately want to destroy the aspirations of the people in a bait to install their own candidate by all means. It is pertinent to know that this youths election saga started  when the Ibusa Youths Council Electoral committee members were fairly selected and inaugurated according to the youths constitution, the Electoral Committee was led by one Barr. Charles Nwaogwugwu. The committee was charged with the responsibility to conduct a free, fair and credible election for all contestants who were qualified to contest for any position of their choice. 
 
The sudden hijack of the youths election by the palace is worrisome because the Ibusa Youths Council Constitution stated clearly that the office of the Obuzor should be respected as advisory and non executive member, The office of the Obuzor has no fundamental rights and  powers to appoint or inaugurate any interim\electoral committee.
 
It’s a known fact that the youths is the life wire of every community, and the youths must be allowed to choose their leaders as stated in their constitution and not through manipulation by power brokers as such could lead to political tension and violence. We cannot continue to build a democracy where the law is treated as a suggestion and not a command, the court is the proper venue to settle electoral dispute .
 
The office of the Obuzor of Ibusa should respect the right and the constitution of Ibusa Youths Council and play his expected role as the advisory and non executive member, He should not meddle with fundamental rights and powers of the outgoing Ibusa youths council president.
 
We wish to inform the entire Ibusa and Deltans that the political Abracadabra that took place on 26th-27th in the palace is a mirage and cannot be allowed because the case or suspension of Ibusa Youths Council Election is a matter that is still pending in the court which is tantamount to contempt of court when violated by any person as the law is not a respecter of any person or king. We are using this medium to appeal to all the political actors who are using the office of the Obuzor to achieve their malicious aim in a bait to forcefully go against the court order by nominating illegal executives should be mindful of the consequence as the matter is before a competent court of law. 
 
It is regrettable that the Ibusa Royal Palace of Obuzor has become a political ground where misguided leaders now gathered to nefariously conduct themselves in a manner that speaks high sense of irresponsibility and use their closeness to Obuzor of Ibusa to manipulate the Ibusa Youths Council electoral process without respecting the already working legal document called constitution of the youths body and that of Delta State Ministry of Youths Election Guidelines.
 
The Ibusa youths election must be conducted in a free and fair process to enable the youths choose their rightful leader and not by manipulation with attempt to callously intimidate the qualified candidates in a bait to forcefully enthrone through the backdoor the President of Ibusa youth council.
 
Finally, the entire Ibusa community is calling on His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori who is the Chief Security Officer of the state to checkmate the abuse of power by the palace and other political actors as their over zealousness for power can cause chaos and breakdown of law and  order in Ibusa. As a stitch in time saves nine.

ACNPN Resolves Leadership Crisis as Dike Awana collapsed factional group

By: Precious Eurgo

The crisis that have set Publishers apart in Delta State have finally been laid to rest as the factional Chairman of Association of Community Newspaper Publishers, Dr. Dike Awana have officially resigned his position urging all Publishers in the State to join Association of Community Newspaper Publishers (ACNPN) and support the elected leadership led by Comrade Ike Abiagom.

This is coming after a reconciliation committee was set up by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Community Newspaper, Mr. Oronomoakpaiye to reconcile Community Newspaper Publishers in the state.

Remarking, the National President of the Federated Union of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria, Comrade Dan Awana, admitted that the election which led to the emergence of Comrade Abiagom was genuine.

He pledged to support Comrade Abiagom in his efforts to lead the ACNPN, while he focuses on piloting the affairs of the union at the national level. ‘’A father and his son cannot fight’’ he said.

‘’I have decided, after much consultations, to allow Comrade Abiagom to paddle the canoe. At the same time, I must say that because of the job I have done in publishing, I have been elected as the President of all community newspapers in Nigeria.

‘’So, I cannot be in Abuja and at the same time be in Delta State. It is not so. So, I have mandated Comrade Abiagom to carry on. The Governor is doing very well and he needs us to unite because where there is crisis, development does not come. So, from now henceforth, there is no faction in ACNPN.

‘’On this note, I am surrendering every power I once held back to Comrade Abiagom as the one in charge of the ACNPN in Delta State’’ he said, even as he pledged his continued support to Comrade Abiagom.

” I have trained over 48 Publishers and some of them are in ACNPN, I am also the National President of Federated Association of Publishers, so I have to sit back and reposition my focus on National issues while I support my State Chairman of ACNPN.

On her part,the one time Chairman of ACNPN, Comrade Felida Essie said the crisis has not helped anyone, rather, it has set Publishers against themselves.

She reaffirmed her support to Comrade Ike Philip Abiagom led leadership and advised all Publishers to work with him to consolidate on what the former Chairman, Comrade Jude Obeienyegho had achieved.

Responding, a veteran journalist/Publisher and former special assistant to the former Commissioner for information, Comrade Dave Diai, expressed joy for the reconciliation, even as he recalled efforts to resolve the leadership crisis within the ACNPN.

‘’There is only one ACNPN in Delta State. Elder Awana is the chairman of the national body of community newspaper publishers while Comrade Ike Philip Abiagom is the chairman of ACNPN in Delta State.

‘’On this strength, I want to appeal to all ACNPN members to fall behind this new arrangement that has made Comrade Abiagom the chairman of ACNPN. Recall that he was duly elected as the chairman of this body which is the only substantive body of community newspaper publishers in Delta State’’ he said.

Divisional Police Officer, Abbi inaugurates Igbe Ogume Vigilante Group

By: Reporter

In an effort to ensure adequate security across the state, Igbe Ogume, in Ndokwa West local government area of Delta state has reorganized her vigilante group.

The inauguration of the members of the Vigilant group took place at the village square in Igbe Ogume with the Okwas, the Onotu Uku in council in attendance.

Inaugurating the Vigilante Group, the Divisional Police Officer, Abbi Division, Florence Echikwu promised collaboration while expressing confidence with the new executive of the CDC; believing that they will deliver on their mandate. She advised that the inaugurated vigilant group should work within the law.

She said; “I was glad when I had that Alaska Ekele is the new Community Development Committee Chairman, I have known him when I was in Obiaruku. He is vast in security aspects, workaholic and always believe in Ndokwa course.”

She added; “with Alaska Ekele as the head of the Community Development Committee CDC, it means Igbe Ogume community will sleep with their two eyes closed, I know how capable and gallant he is and vast in experience”.

“When you appointed him as the CDC Chairman, he kick-started immediately by first identifying that there were lapses in the security architecture and immediately collapsed it”

“In Igbe Ogume, when it comes to security aspects, I believe I am covered because I know that he will be able to Police this place with the aid of the vigilante group and the collaboration of the police”

“I prayed that with what he enumerated and with the able vigilante group, he will meet with what is expected of them”

Earlier in his welcome address, Alaska Ekele said he was honoured with the new task given to him by the Community.

He said, on assumption as the new Community Development Committee Chairman, he identified some lapses in the security architecture and immediately collapsed it to appoint new head of the vigilante group for improved security and a call for anybody who was willing to be part of securing the community.

He noted that he was amazed with the turn out of able men from the community that were willing, prompting a rigorous screening exercise. Some of them could not make it to the final.

According to him; “when I came on board as the CDC Chairman of Igbe Ogume, I saw a gap and porous nature of our security architecture of the community, I collapsed the vigilante group and appointed Mr. Samson Adegbe as head of the vigilante group and Mr. Lucky Olisedeme and Pastor Emeke Ebinum as vice and secretary respectively”

He maintained that the new executive of the community have declared war against indiscipline, indiscriminate smoking of Indian hemp, hard drug, indecent dressing, cultism in the Community etc.

Mr. Ekele also added that anyone who will be aiding any suspected criminal would also serve the same punishment as a suspect, and a special album will be provided for documentation of all alleged suspects.

Alaska Ekele, however, pledged that the new executive will work and collaborate with the Nigeria Police to carry out their operations and seek advice.
