Most Distinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi(SPON)
Nwaoboshi’s incarceration will not in any way diminish his relevance or acceptance in Anioma nation and Nigeria in general. Come to think of it what would his opponent use 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 his 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 Ned Nwoko or the past senators in all ramifications if not for his incarceration which gave his opponent a free running day, Senator Ned Nwoko wouldn’t have defeated Senator Nwaoboshi in an open election.
We are appealing to Senator Ned Nwoko and his team to concentrate more on emulating Senator Peter Nwaoboshi’s protective representation by attracting projects to our people and discontinue the social media representation. We challenge Senator Ned Nwoko to mention one project that he attracted and completed within one year in Anioma Land just like what Nwaoboshi did. 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.
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 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.
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.
The Nigerian Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said the issue of extortion of passengers by officials of government agencies at the nation’s airports is beyond the ministry’s control.
Keyamo, who reacted to numerous complaints from Nigerian over the unholsom practices at the airport,
in a post on X on Sunday, said the aviation ministry was working with other ministers responsible for the affected agencies to find a lasting solution to the problem.
Recall that Nigerians have raised alarm that agberos pattern has find its way into the country’s international airports. The term ‘Agbero’ is a slang for street tout, young people who extort money from mostly transporters.
The minister’s statement came in response to numerous complaints by travelers over alleged extortion by officials at the airport.
“I have received several complaints about the menace of begging and extortion at our International airports by a few unscrupulous persons who give all of us a bad image,” Keyamo said.
He added, “My phones are beeping every minute with messages about this from well-meaning Nigerians. Just to set the records straight, most of the agencies involved in this menace are not under the control of the aviation ministry, though they are stationed at our airports.
“However, I have been working closely with other ministers, arms of government and agencies who are responsible for these agencies and a solution is in sight soon.”
He mentioned that the ministry was collaborating with the National Security Adviser on the issue, adding that he would soon announce practical steps to “stem this ugly tide.”
The problem of begging and extortion at the nation’s airports has recently become a major concern for the Federal Government.
Recall that on June 14, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria issued a warning to airport users against offering bribes and encouraging extortion.
The agency stated that any staff or government agency operating at the airports found guilty of accepting bribes would face punishment.
The agency also announced the launch of a task force to eliminate touting, extortion, and other illicit activities at airports nationwide.
The authority stated that the task force had been assigned the responsibility of enforcing discipline among airport staff and fostering a culture of professionalism at all levels.
Dr Kingsley Emu, the Secretary to the State Government(SSG)has raised alarm over the unwholesome activities of fraudsters who succeeded in setting up fake WhatsApp account purported to belong to the Secretary to the State Government SSG, with the intent to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
Recall that the present SSG’s phones Kingsley Emu have been hacked more than twice including that of the Chief Press Secretary CPS to the State Governor, Sir Festus Ahon among other government officials
Investigation also showed that sometime in November 2021, fraudsters successfully hacked into Delta State website and fixed job application fee of N8,500 which the then government under Senator Ifeanyi Okowa quickly dismissed that very online advertisement for recruitment into the civil service, declaring it as fraudulent.
The latest alarm was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the office of the SSG, Kingsley Emu.
Entitled ‘BE WARY OF SCAMMERS, DELTA SSG WARNS PUBLIC’, reads:
“The attention of the Secretary to Delta State Government (SSG) has again been drawn to the activities of some impostors who are using the name of his office to engage unsuspecting members of the public through phone number 08085129491 ( acct details: Jonah Kumor.4235384296.Zenith Bank), and a fake WhatsApp account that has the picture of the SSG, and with the clear intention of defrauding them by promising political appointments and also offering non-existing contract awards from the state government.
“The office of the Secretary to the Delta State Government is issuing this disclaimer as an alert to the public to disregard any message or phone call in the nature of a solicitation as neither the SSG nor his office works through such a process.
“It needs to be stated that security agencies have been notified of the fraudulent activities of these faceless groups, and investigation is ongoing to unravel those behind the scam.
“Therefore, it is in the interest of these groups of persons to desist from these unwholesome acts as anyone caught would be made to face the full wrath of the law”, the statement added.
The controversial bill over the proposed creation of Anioma State has taken a new dimension as Ndokwa and Ukwuani people are torn apart
Delta North senatorial district is singing different tunes over a proposal by Senator Ned Nwoko, representing the district at the National Assembly, on the creation of Anioma State.
During an interactive session with indigenes of the district in Abuja recently, he said the creation of Anioma State is both urgent and compelling, promising to present a bill for the creation of the state. He said the creation of Anioma State is not just about increasing the number of states but about ensuring fair representation and resource allocation for the South East.
“I am presenting a bill for the creation of Anioma State to correct this historical oversight. Anioma is composed of nine local government areas, six of which are rich in oil and gas resources. The region also boasts significant human capital, making it a viable and sustainable candidate for statehood,” Nwoko assured.
But the Ukwuani people who are among the nine local government areas of Delta North, faulted the senator on Wednesday.
In a statement jointly signed by Abel Emah-Iyesele, Dr. Mike Akpati, Aneke Efemeni and Sam Chukuji, they said they had been strange bedfellows with the people of Anioma and preferred to hobnob with the Urhobo, Isoko and Itsekiri ethnic nationalities than the people of Aniocha and Oshimili.
They posited that it is a well-thought-out and thoroughly considered view and opinion of the generality of the Ukwuani people that Anioma is not an expression of the people of the zone.
“Before the proposal by Senator Ned Nwoko to rekindle the campaign for the establishment of Anioma State, the Ukwuani nation had already conveyed their stance in 2021 through the Ndokwa Neku Union (NNU), the leading socio-cultural organization of the Ukwuani people, in a report presented by the Adhoc Committee on States Creation and Geopolitical Zones Arrangements.
“Ukwuani had never been a part of the defunct Benin Province where Aniocha, Oshimili and Ika were integral constituents. Ukwuani congenially had been part and parcel of the original Delta province, where we still share a more robust cultural affinity.
“Ukwuani nation relates more comfortably and mutually with the people of the core Delta Province as against Aniocha, Oshimili, and Ika of the Benin Province. Though tongues may differ, and surely they do, the Ukwuani nation finds unity in diversity best within our Delta province enclave.
“The position enumerated and enunciated above is the considered views and strong belief that the Ukwuani nation will be comfortable and better off placed among the comity of states with the original core Delta province peoples, that is, the Urhobo, Isoko, Itshekiri, and Ijaw ethnic nationalities.
“With the comparative advantage Ukwuani has, the Ukwuani nation can request for a Ukwuani State. We have the natural resources, population, land mass and human capital needed in abundance to make a nation-state.
“We, the entire Ukwuani people, are strongly and vehemently opposed to the creation of Anioma State without recourse to factors such as capital location, LGA distribution, and placement of government facilities,” they stated.
Chief Frank Agujuba CEO, Gateway City Park Limited
Gateway City is a new City Development situated by the bank of the River Niger – Asaba side. The waterfront development is the kind of development the world is looking at today, containing the largest market in the world. It shall have in it 35 Malls containing 22,000 shops and 15,000 Housing Units, Amusement Parks, Hotels, Hospitals and all trappings of a city. It is a world class Housing Estate for High Income Earners.
In an exclusive interview with a team of Publishers in Asaba the Delta State capital, the Executive Chairman Gateway Parks Limited, Chief Frank Ogujiuba, disclosed that the first phase of the Project will provide 40,000 jobs during the construction stage and about 12-15,000 post construction jobs. It will have its own River Port so that goods can come in straight and get into the market without trucking. He disclosed that the investment is worth a billion dollars and the construction would last for over 15 years.
Hear him:
What is this Project all about and why bringing it to Asaba where there are other places it could be sighted?
Gateway City is a new City development that is going to be situated by the banks of the River Niger – Asaba side. Because of the iconic location, by the Niger, Asaba seems to be the best place for it now because the Onitsha side is already fully developed down to the water bank. However, the kind of planning we’re doing now is to make sure we achieve the best kind of development standard so that we don’t have to allow people to come and build slumps.
The waterfront development is the kind of development the world is looking at today and if you do not regulate it properly or plan it properly, you will find out that slumps would spring up there and mess up the place. God has given us that location and a very wonderful place, because of the water and the islands and the terrain. So, we want to do something beautiful. The largest market in the world will be developed there. It’s not the normal lock up shops, but there are going to be 35 Malls containing 22,000 shops. It’s going to be the biggest shopping arcade in the world. It will have its own river port so that goods can come in straight and get into the market without trucking. We’re going to have 1,000 Housing Units developed there. It’s a brand new City with Amusement Parks, Hotels, Hospitals and all the trappings of a City. By the grace of God, construction will kick of very soon and it would create employment for Asaba and Delta State. We’re looking at 40,000 jobs during construction and about 12-1,000 post construction jobs.
Chief Frank Agujuba Executive Chairman Gateway City Park Limited
This Project is going to change the narratives and the story-line of Delta State. This project will put Asaba on the map of the world, because its going to be about the biggest private development that’s going to happen in West Africa, the environment of Asaba, the landscape and everything about Asaba and Delta State.
The area in question is subject to flooding. What are the measures put in place to mitigate the perennial flooding in that place?
We’re doing what is called the Shoreline protection, a hybrid of principles. We’re going to do piling, hard wall re-enforced concrete walls and all that. The Shoreline is going to be well protected and there’s going to be sand filling – we’re going to recover the land, to get it to be higher than the Expressway so that the land that would be recovered will be higher than the Expressway which is the benchmark. The flooding will end – this project will put an end to flooding.
Today, we’re doing a Public Hearing for the EIA so that we can find out how this development will impact other areas – because you can prevent flooding in one area and cause immense flooding in another area. But we’re trying to mitigate against all these things to have a balanced development to make sure that the good thing we’re doing there does not cause bad effects somewhere else.
When you said the land would be sand filled a little bit higher than the Expressway, can’t that lead to flooding on the major highway?
No! Because the only water you would see on the highway would be rain which would drain off. But the flooding that comes from the overflow of the river will not come anymore.
Looking at the establishment of this Project which would be one of its kind in Nigeria, how did the idea of this concept come to you as the Chairman of this project?
We have been in Real Estate Development for some time and when you are at places like Lagos and see what wonders they have done with their waterfront – I looked at our own just being a flood plane in the South-South and South-East – its just a flood plane and destroying lives and property sometimes. We looked at it and said, its better we come and make it in a way to become something. Despite the fact that it is a flood plane and every year people pack out of their homes, destroys lives and property, we can as well develop it. And there’s no law that says that every investment must stay outside this region and everybody has to go elsewhere. It can be here also. Delta has the potential of being one of the finest states in the world. So, why cant it be here? Why do we have to do it elsewhere, when we have the land already when we have the waterfront already, we have everything there. We should make these places good.
What is the duration of this project?
Construction will last as long as 15 years. It will start this July 2024 and it continues – because by the time you develop the shoreline and do infrastructure then buildings will start. And you can say you’re going to do 15,000 Housing Units in 1-2 years. So, in the next 15 years we’re still on site working. In 15 years’ time the site would have been fully developed. It’s a City that would have its own power. We’re arranging for 120MW of power to run the City.
The site is along the NIWA highway. What is the synergy between your company and NIWA?
The land is a concession from NIWA. NIWA is our official landlord – principal landlord and has conceded the land for this development. There is a partnership with NIWA.
The impact of this project would be highly felt but I have a reservation on maintenance and sustainability in terms of the economic situation of Nigeria. What is the contingency plans for maintenance of such an edifice after 15 years?
For as long as I’m alive and I remain the Executive Chairman of Gateway Parks Ltd. and I’m part of the people doing this transaction, I do not think we can attract that level of investment then allow it to waste, because we’re talking of an investment of almost a billion dollars. You don’t bring such money and watch it waste, because you have to pay back. By the time we finish recovering the money and doing everything, it would have become a culture to live well. By the time you live in a particular lifestyle for 10-15 years of recovery of money, it would have become part of your life to live in a good environment – so you would want to maintain it – its natural.
What kind of persons would own property there?
The people who have capacity. Because of the nature of the land and by the time the land is recovered and infrastructure put on it, the land can no longer come cheap. So, low income earners cannot afford it. I don’t know how many low income earners that can afford a land of N100 million in Nigeria.
Who are the people behind this Capital intensive project? Is it powered by your company alone or along with foreign partners?
Yes! We have foreign partners partnering for different aspects of the development. Like you’re talking about power generation, water reticulation among other features in the project, there are people who are doing the indices of the separate components. The funds will also come separately for each component, its not like a general funding. There’s funding coming for power, there’s funding coming for infrastructure, funding coming for buildings – each one is separated from the other and collectively we will achieve the dream.
What is the role of Delta State Government in this project?
The Executive Governor of Delta State is a man of vision. In my own understanding he’s a great person. The little time we have had to communicate with him on this project shows me that he has a vision for Delta State and he has the will power to achieve it. He has the vision and the will and he wants to achieve it. And we pray that God gives him the strength to overcome the little implements that comes with bureaucracy and some people around government that would never want to do something good for government. The Governor is not that kind of a person. The Governor is doing something for the collective good of Deltans.
Has the Governor given a nod to the project to be sited in where it is?
It depends on what you call a nod because the land in question is owned by the Federal Government. We have his consent to do this but officially the approval is from the Federal Government. The world would be expected during the ground breaking ceremony and the date will be communicated to you. Thank you.
In same development, the Environmental Management Consultant Gateway Parks Limited, Engr Agbeyi Parkem also said that the Project is about Land Production and Development and Development, building a world class market and also building a world class Housing Estate for High Income Earners. This is going to be the largest market in the whole world and first of its kind in the whole of world, fitted with modern things that would last for long time. What we’re building here is zero maintenance for at least a period of 40 years before talking about maintenance. So, it’s a very large project.
Siting the project on NIWA highway and waterlogged environment, what informed the use of that area of Asaba in Delta State?
The reason is that land has to be produced before any construction takes place. And the land is also there which is lying fallow. It has a very high marketable value. The reason why we’re citing this market there is because we do not have Container Parks in this area too and 65% of the Containers landing in Lagos is coming to the East. So, if we get a Container Park here, we would absolve that 65% and also enable us to deal with these materials in a very methodical way.
Apart from that, this project is for the South-East and South-South –a combination of the two regions. Its very strategic and not for the East alone but for the South as well. Why we’re citing this project in that location is because of the Coastal line too plus the presence of the 2nd Niger Bridge and the situation of an inland Port in this area which will reduce the congestion of Containers in Lagos. The planning of this very project has taken some time, we envisage that some years from now a Port would be developed and things would be coming in directly to this place and the 2nd Niger Bridge is taking this road down. This is a road project awarded by former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR, but it was not completed. We’re envisaging a lot of complex matrix that is playing out with this project. Its very important.
What would be the impact on job creation?
There will be massive employment. The whole of the project is driven by local people, we’re not adding foreign experts to come and do this project for us, its locals. Most of the things we’re going to use for this project will be locally made. There are manufacturing that would take place in the East especially in Anambra and within this area. Manufacturing would be very high. If we talk about employment, this project at its peak 15 years from now would have absolved close to 500,000 workers, and most of them are going to be professionals.
What about the supply of power to the project?
We’re going to build power by ourselves, we’re not going to rely on Federal Government or the National Grid. If we have to keep power – as a lot of things there are going to be automatic – and if they’re automatic, you need power by yourself. For this first aspect of the project, we need about 25MW of electricity. We also have a sewage Engineer, Engr. Hope. The design is there and nothing is going to go out of that place without being treated. Thank you.
The alleged fraudulent sale of former Delta State Property (Guinea House) in Apapa-Lagos which now belongs to the new owner Suiming Electrical Ltd.
From our deep investigation, we discovered that top civil servants in Delta State were deeply involved in the alleged fraud that will be exposed soon to Deltans and the general public soonest. We promised to unveil all the secret details of the fraudulent transaction with documents, the names of the top civil Servants and how the suspects confessed to the crime during Police detention and interrogation of the top civil servants in Abuja.
Most Distinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi (SPON)
Most Distinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi (SPON),felicitated with Muslim faithful on this year’s celebration of Eid-el-Kabir and urged Nigerians to make the fear of God the foundation for their lives.
In a Sallah message by his SPON Media in Ibusa, to commemorate the Eid-el-Kabir, he said the Eid-el-Kabir festival symbolised the fear of Allah and the desire of man to always comply with the wish of his creator as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.
He noted that with the fear of Allah, mutual respect and love, “we will tolerate one another, work together and be able to harness our abundant resources as a progressive nation. We cannot achieve much with unnecessary factions and disharmony. What Nigerians need now is to move forward with the present change era.”
He also called on all Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of love, tolerance and mutual respect, adding that these virtues were the panacea to move the nation forward.
Nwaoboshi said: “We have herculean tasks to address. Our army of unemployed graduates and youths are hovering on the street. Insecurity is threatening the peace and social development of our dear nation, quality health care services and economic buoyancy are major challenges that require urgent attention.
“I am very optimistic that with our collective efforts, these challenges are surmountable and we will soon overcome.” Nwaoboshi stated.
Senator Nwaoboshi however used the occasion to call on all arms of government not to rest on their oars in the onerous task of building a formidable nation where all Nigerians will live in peace and prosperity.
Senator Nwaoboshi charged Muslims to continue to pray for the government, the Military and other agencies in the fight against insurgency, adding that the peace and socio-economic development of our nation remain paramount.
He also urge our countrymen and women to demonstrate faith by ensuring that those who are privileged come to the aid of the less privileged ones and ensure that many people across the country can celebrate this Sallah in a joyous mood and with food in their households,” he stated.
He said: “All of us should continue to live in peace irrespective of our religious differences and ethnic orientation. We must cement the bond of unity in the nation by reaching out to one another in love.
“Our old ways will not lead to the accomplishment of the vision of our founding fathers; we must therefore, get together immediately and let the world know that Nigeria is ready to take its rightful place in the comity of nations.”
