Senator Nwaoboshi will always stand out in Anioma Nation as Best Senator … with evidence of projects records in all wards
Most Distinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi(SPON)

Senator Nwaoboshi’s incarceration will not in any way diminish his relevance or acceptance in Anioma nation and Nigeria in general. Come to think of what his opponent would have used to campaign against him, if not for his illegal imprisonment by his evil political enemies?

The Ibusa born political tactician brought to the fore glamour and extraordinary representation in less than one year in office after beginning his improbable quest as a first timer within the minority party, he became Chairman Senate Committee on Niger – Delta Affairs, Including the NDDC, the first minority barrier breaking achievement believed to be impossible by generation of minorities in Nigeria.

There is no doubt whatsoever that in the last seven years of active representation as a senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria before he was incarcerated, Anioma Nation have come to embrace and admire Senator Nwaoboshi’s tactical audacity, strategic acumen and the sure-footed administrative astuteness which sets him apart as a visionary leader, Senator Nwaoboshi can never be compared to the present senator or the past senators in all ramifications if not for his incarceration which gave his opponent a free running day,the present senator wouldn’t have defeated Senator Nwaoboshi in an open election.

it’s also on record that no Anioma Senator has ever broken the record of chairing any juicy Senate Committee as a first timer, it is only the Most Distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi a man with robust political experience and wide range of political influence. A man who spread dividends of democracy to the nook and crannies of Delta North within one year in office, Anioma Nation never knew that a serving senator can attract over 140 roads network across Delta North, distribution of 100 Transformers, installation of thousands of solar street lights, supply of over 100,000 chairs and tables to primary and Secondary schools in Delta North, renovation of schools, building of skills acquisition centers, empowerment of women and youths, training of Anioma Youth through NDDC, employment of youths into various Government parastatals,farmers witnessed huge empowerment with improved Yam and Maize Seedlings from Senator Nwaoboshi which has never happened in the history of Anioma nation etc.

In the 9th senate, Senator Nwaoboshi proposed bill for the creation of Anioma State when he was representing Delta North,it passed through the first and second reading and was referred to the committee on State creation. Eminent Anioma leaders were carried along and they appeared before the committee and defended the request, and it was one of the states shortlisted, the records are there for check. Senator Nwaoboshi is not a social media representative and does not make unnecessary noise.

While the tribulations might persist for a while, Senator Nwaoboshi will always stand out in Anioma Nation,“Nwaoboshi will always remain relevant in Delta North politics. He is already a household name and a champion of the Anioma nation. His contribution to the development of the nation cannot be washed away by a non-starter. Today, in Delta politics, Nwaoboshi remains the third tripod known to contemporary Delta politics.” and not a social media senator.

Its on record that Senator Peter Nwaoboshi had alot of evidence of completed projects in every ward in Anioma Nation including Idumuje Ugboko and Idumuje uno, Asaba, Ibusa, Agbor , kwale etc. We challenge our present and past senators to mention projects that they attracted and completed within one year in Anioma Land just like what Nwaoboshi did in his first year. Senator Nwoboshi is not a social media representation.

However, one question which begs for answer is must we always throw away the baby and the bath water, must we sacrifice the standout man focused in ensuring that the Anioma is not used for individual’s whims and caprices because of power play, must we always ruin the nice guy who has plan for a better tomorrow?.

These questions are some of the many which posterity will ask naysayers of Senator Nwaoboshi who continues to stand tall and will continue to do so for a very long time.

Idowu Okeze Flags-Off Health Insurance Enrollment Of 1000 Indigent,Vulnerable In Ibusa Community

By: Ike Philip Abiagom

Pastor Idowu Okeze

Pastor Idowu Okeze knows that when Ibusa Community honestly ask themselves which persons in their lives means the most to them, they often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have rather chosen to share people’s pain and touch their wounds with a warm and tender hand. let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be gotten, but they need hearts to love them”. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

One thousand indigents and vulnerable people in Ibusa,Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State on Monday heaved a sign of relief, especially in caring for their health, following the payment of health insurance premium worth N7 million for them by Pastor Idowu Okeze. The program which was flagged off on Monday 9th December,2024, by the Chairman of the Delta State Contributory Health Commission,Dr Austin Obidi, registered 1000 persons which was sponsored by an illustrious Ibusa born philanthropist, Pastor Idowu Okeze.

Dr Obidi while unveiling the programme, commended the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for being the brain behind the efficiency and effectiveness of the scheme.He said the Governor had promised to do more for Deltans in his policies and programmes, and one of the areas he has eminently focused on, is the health sector, especially with high regards to the health insurance scheme.

The highbrow medical administrator went further to praise the philanthropic gestures of Pastor Idowu Okeze who volunteered to sponsor the enrollment of 1000 indigent and vulnerable Ibusa indigenes into the informal sector category of the scheme by paying #7000 (Seven Thousand Naira Only) per person,for 1000 persons in Ibusa.

According to him, “The 1000 persons have been registered and given cards to access health care for the next one year, free of charge. This is the first of its kind where indigent enrollees who are vulnerable are adopted by a philanthropist with passion to save life.

“The government of Delta State has done noble since the inception of the health insurance scheme in the State. For every woman that delivers a baby in government hospital, it is free; same as children under five undergoing any form of medical treatment.

“So far, the Contributory Health Insurance Scheme stands at 1.8 million enrollees. This initiative is to support the efforts of government in covering the vast majority of Deltans in the scheme. We want to see how we can double the number in no distant time. And it is the responsibility of everyone who is well to do, to sponsor two or more persons according to their abilities, as enrollees in the scheme”, Obidi posited.

In an interview, with a community elder of Ibusa Community, Abuah Nwaokocha commended the sponsor of the programme who is an illustrious son of Ibusa, for taking up such Godly initiative to cushion the effect of inaccessibility of health care services amongst his people. He said the end result of Pastor Okeze’s gesture would be monumental when measured in monetary terms, thereby urging the vulnerable beneficiaries to make good use of the opportunity.

Nwaokocha further called on well-to-do sons and daughters of Ibusa to emulate the humanitarian character of Pastor Okeze by keying into the initiative to cover more people in the scheme, for the purpose of accessing cheap and affordable health care services.

Speaking to Pastor Idowu Okeze, he said he did what he did with regards to a scriptural injunction which says “it’s good to do good”.
He affirmed that he only provided the sponsorship of 1000 enrollees with specifics of what he wanted, while it was the community that did the selection of beneficiaries.
His words, “It is good to do good with every assistance one can render to the needy. I saw the need to be of help, and I provided the opportunity for the vulnerable elders, widows and physically challenged persons in my community to benefit.

“This is a good scheme, designed to help the ordinary people access adequate and affordable health care services. The government has done well with this scheme and of course, the initiative of getting privileged individuals involved. It’s important to get as much individuals as possible, to enroll into the scheme. And of course, the big people have to support the programme by sponsoring persons who are less privileged.

“My advice to the beneficiaries as well, is to take the advantage and make good use of it in their own interest”, Okeze advised.
Some of the beneficiaries who spoke to Newsbreeze prayed for more favour on Pastor Okeze in all his life’s endeavours.

Mama Ifeoma Okonji commended Pastor Idowu Okeze for being such a Godsent at this critical time that healthcare services have become so expensive,she affirmed that Pastor Okeze had always shown kindness to his people and prayed that God rewards him. It was a worthwhile initiative, geared towards making a people healthy in order to capacitate them to contribute meaningfully to the development of their society in sound mind.

Pastor Idowu Okeze is a great pillar to Ibusa Community,He is a notable philanthropist whose humanitarian acts and deeds have brought considerable succour to many. He is a blessing to this generation, his passion for human capital development is unparalleled.God will continue to bless him.

Chief Paulinus Akpeki, lacks the power to act on behalf of the party in the capacity-Obigbor

The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says Chairman of the Delta Central Senatorial District, Chief Paulinus Akpeki, lacks the power to act on behalf of the party in the capacity of “an acting State chairman “.

The State Acting Chairman, Chief Francis Obigbor, Esq., who spoke on behalf of State Working Committee (SWC), also urged the National chairman of APC not to relate with Akpeki on behalf of Delta chapter of the party. In a statement on Monday, Chief Obigbor, described the recent presentation of the Olorogun O’tega Emerhor’s committee report to Akpeki as unauthorised and unacceptable to Delta APC.

“The attention of the Delta State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to an unauthorized presentation by Chief Paulinus Akpeki, the Vice Chairman, Delta Central Senatorial District, who purportedly received a report from the Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor-led reconciliation committee on behalf of the State Working Committee of the Party.

“We categorically state that Chief Akpeki has no authority to receive any report or present same before the National Chairman. His actions are a clear usurpation of power and a deliberate attempt to cause confusion within the party.

“We urge the National Chairman and the National Working Committee (NWC) to discountenance this report and any actions taken by Chief Akpeki.

“To all our party faithful and stakeholders, we urge you to remain calm and not be distracted by this unauthorized action.

“As the Acting Chairman of the Delta State APC, I continue to await the O’tega Emerhor committee’s report. Once received, I intend to present it before the State Working Committee, State Caucus, and State Executive Committee for rigorous debate and further action, if necessary.

“I will continue to act as Chairman until Elder Omeni Sobotie returns and physically attends to preside over a meeting called to and held at the State Secretariat, Asaba”, the statement.

Irredeemable doom awaits PDP – Ugochinyere warns

Hon Ikenga Ugochinyere ,member representing Ideato North/South Federal Constituency of Imo State has suggested that irredeemable doom awaits the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, if it does not rise up and chase political outlaws away from its fold.

According to him, the end story of the defunct All Nigerians Peoples Party, ANPP, and Alliance for Democracy, AD, will be better than the PDP.

Ugochinyere said this would be the case if the party fails to stop those he described as shameless political traitors.

He made this known in a post on his X handle on Friday.

The statement comes amid the intractable crisis bedeviling the nation’s major opposition party.

“Shame. When the national chairman and secretary of a political party meets secretly with the ruling govt, you will know that irredeemable doom awaits that political party if they don’t rise up and chase these political outlaws away. Now they want to officially handover the PDP to the APC without any shame just for a pot of porridge. The end story of ANPP, AD will be better than PDP if we don’t stop these shameless political traitors.”

Yahaya Bello sent to Kuje Prison

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has ordered the remand of the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello in Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja  pending his bail application.

By the court’s ruling, Bello may remain in prison till January 29 when the court adjourned further proceedings in the criminal case involving him.

Bello is standing trial, along with two others, in an alleged N110bn money laundering charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

In an earlier ruling on Tuesday, Justice Maryanne Anenih faulted the competence of Bello’s bail application and held that it was filed prematurely.

Justice Anenih held that the application, having been filed when Bello was neither in custody nor before the court, his  application was incompetent.

She said: “Consequently, the instant application, having been filed prematurely is hereby refused.” Bello’s bail application was filed  on November 22 before he was arrested on November 26 and arraigned on  November 27.

In two other rulings, Justice Anenih granted bail to each of the two Bello’s co-defendants – Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu –

  • at N300m with two sureties in like sum.

The judge said the sureties must have property worth the said amount within the court’s jurisdiction.

She then adjourned further proceedings till January 29 next year. It was learnt that Bello’s lawyers could file a fresh bail application and apply to the court for an early hearing date.

If the request for an early date is granted by the court and the fresh bail application granted, Bello could escape spending the yuletide period in Kuje correctional centre.

Celebrating A Great Philanthropist; Stanley Dumbei Otuma

By: Ike Philip Abiagom


The representative of Delta State Governor, Senator Aguariavwodo presenting Award to Mr Stanley Otuma as the Real Estate Company of the Year 2024

Stanley Dumbei Otuma,the Chairman of One Needs Properties and Construction Ltd, a philanthropist whose passion for human development is immeasurable, One Needs is celebrating his birthday today.

The great icon who could not hide his excitement revealed how rising by lifting others gave him joy and how impacting other people positively had made him an achiever.

Many will spend their lifetime trying to figure out rules to living, however, Stanley Dumbei Otuma not only figured them out but has been living them for almost two decades now.

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

“So, achievements generally could not necessarily be achievements in terms of material things. There is a way I look at achievement.

“How many people have you impacted in life? How have you changed situations around you? These are areas where one needs to perform well before he is called an achiever. He demonstrates the exact meaning of living by using his talent to serve the world and leaving a lasting impression while serving and mainly a positive impact on the causes that matter to the powerful.

You make each day special just by being yourself around people, you illuminate the darkest moments in the lives of people through your acts of generosity. You are kind and your care for humanity is never in doubt.

If asked, if I have met anyone who has lived all his life being charitable and kind to others I am going to mention you a million times because you are a servant of the poor. The volunteers would say the same because to all of us, you are that humble, happy, and friendly brother, yes, brother because you are always willing and patient to guide people through the right paths and your life is a lesson to us because we learn from your actions. You are unique.

You are one of the most generous, fun, and loving person every young person should cling to, your interest in the growth and the development of youths make me wonder how you make out time for people even with your busy schedules. You are passionate about a lot of things, sometimes I question why you have to do so much but then all of these sums up who you really are. No one or definition better describes the word intentionality but you. You are intentional. You are the best definition of what it means to be intentional.

The journey of feeding families and caring for them in this trying moment as we are faced with the deadly hardship, couldn’t have been possible without you pushing this goal of sustaining the poor in their lack. Many smiled again, many lived, many became hopeful because you gave them reasons to be.

Memories! Memories of men, women and children who danced to the love they received, laughter on the faces of those who couldn’t comprehend the fact that someone remembered them, the tears that flowed from the eyes of those who never expected the love extended, the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God from the poor widow. The reality you brought because you were busy thinking of the poor.

Thanks you Stanley Dumbei Otuma for being a gentle and kind mentor to all in the One Needs foundation, You are an inspiration to everyone, thanks for making available this platform of charity to our people. You remain a shining example for all of us.

It’s your birthday,Stanley Dumbei Otuma, a Humanitarian, a philanthropist without equal, a giver without borders. God continues to shower his blessings of love, grace, peace, health, protection, success, and everything good that you would wish for yourself and your generation would continue to reap the fruits of your goodness.

Happy birthday One Needs. You’re Loved.

The newly Inaugurated Executive officers of the Association of Community Newspapers Publishers of Nigeria, (ACNPN ), Delta State Chapter have joined Deltans to congratulate the State Governor, His Excellency, Rt Hon (Elder) Sheriff F.O.

ACNPN Called on Deltans not to relent in their prayers, as the governor and his team need to achieve their electioneering promises of good governance for All Deltans”, which is being pursued under the M.O.R.E. Agenda of the government.
 
He said that with the recognition, the governor will be propelled to pursue more development agenda for the state, in the area of infrastructure, human capital, health, education, women and youth empowerments, security which will liberate the people from hunger, poverty, and any other areas that will promote the well being of all Deltans.
 
“We congratulate His Excellency on these prestigious honours and look forward to continuing our partnership in relaying the news of  his M.O.R.E. Agenda to the good people of Delta State”,.
 
The Chairman, on behalf of his entire ACNPN members, prayed that God grants the Governor the strength, wisdom, and courage to overcome any challenge in delivering his MORE agenda to Deltans.
