Delta Taskforce issues 21-day abatement notice to traders under high tension

The Delta State Taskforce on Environment has issued 21 days abatement notice to traders and shop owners under the high tension at PTI junction in Effurun, Uvwie local Government area of the state.

This came following the recent unfortunate death of two young men who were said to be members of Transport Management Committee also known as NURTW as result of snipped high tension wire.

Delta state Government warned occupants of structures under high tension cables to immediately vacate the premises, threatening to prosecute them and demolish such structures.

Chairman of the Taskforce, Hon. Sylvester Oromoni who disclosed this through the delegation on Thursday morning said the action was necessary to prevent loss of more lives and property in the state.

On structures under high tension cables and other sites prohibited for habitation by law, he said it was unfortunate that some residents in the state were so desperate that they could conveniently live and work under high tension cables without considering the consequences.

According to him, the role of any government was to ensure safety of lives and property at all times, stressing that the current administration of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa would do everything to ensure that lives and property were not endangered.

Hon. Oromoni condoled the families of the victims of the unfortunate death.

Reacting to the notice served the Union and occupants of the high tension areas, the Chairman Delta State Transport Management Committee, Chief Francis Arhiyo thank the Taskforce team for the timely visit and promised to relocate their office, as well as traders from under the high tension within the stipulated time.

He added that the falling wire was obsolete... hence, the unfortunate incident that claimed two of their drivers on that fateful day.

Gov. Okowa Is Committed To Ensure Sustainable Power Supply To All Deltans In Town And Villages, Says Basil Ganagana

Francis Tayor


Asaba_____ In its determination to lit up Delta State, the state government said is committed in ensuring that power supply gets to the nook and cranny of the state.

The State Commissioner for Power and Energy, Rt. Hon. Basil Ganagana, disclosed that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s policy thrust of ensuring sustainable power supply to all Deltans in towns and villages.

The Commissioner, who stated this in an interview with newsmen in Asaba said, though the provision of power was the responsibility of the Federal Government under the deregulated regime, the State Government had made landmark feats at ensuring that power was accessible to all, including rural dwellers.

Ganagana, said that, as a responsive government, the Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa-led government provided transformers and restored light to many towns and villages as Bomadi, Kiagbodo, Agbarha-Otor, Ubulu-Okiti, Mosogar and Asaba, among others.

He disclosed that, as part of efforts geared towards ensuring improved power in the state, especially in the state capital, government, in partnership with a private company, was constructing an Independent Power Plant (IPP) to power critical government concerns such as the Government House, Secretary to State Government (SSG’s) office, Cabinet office, Head of Service, DTHA, sports centre etc, adding that the project would be ready soon.

While saying that vandalization of power installations was a big challenge to stable power supply, Ganagana re­gretted the inability of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) to adequately provide power to Deltans despite the huge efforts of government at all times to help out when needs arose.

Ganagana said government could have done more in the power sector but for the challenge posed by the novel coronavirus that has resulted in cutting down of the year’s budget by various states and the Federal Government.

We Are Ready To Fight To Get Our Rightful Job Slots - Warri Escravos And Forcados Youths Warn OMS, Captain Hosa.

An economic crisis that will cripple the oil sector is imminent in the oil rich Warri Escravos and Forcados (Burutu) axises of Delta State as the youth body aleged that Ocean Marine Solutions Limited, OMS, deliberately ignored  the call by the Leadership of the Central Youth Body, Kingdoms and Subcommunities in Warri Escravos and Forcados for a dialogue and peaceful resolutions of their demands.
A Press Statement issued to Journalists in Warri yesterday, June 22, 2020 reads:
"The youths in the Central, Kingdoms, and subcommunities in Escravos and Forcados in Warri South West and Burutu LGAs, respectively have been pushed to the wall by Captain Hosa Okunbor and Ocean Marine Solutions Limited (OMS), which is in charge of the contract of the surveillance guards along Pipeline Right of Way (PRoW) in Warri Escravos and Forcados.
"The OMS General Manager, Chartering  Operations, Mr. Olabode Isijola lied to 'the Vanguard Newspaper' reporter who contacted him on this issue, said that the company allowed individuals communities to speak for themselves without specifically addressing the issues raised by the youths.
"We have taken several peaceful steps for Captain Hosa Okunbor and his Management in OMS to dialogue with us and give us our rightful job slots, but it has become clear to us that Captain Hosa and OMS do not understand a peaceful language and our call for justice and equity; the only language they understand is violence, which we are going to give to them.
"We are also informing the oil companies within Warri Escravos and Forcados jurisdictions that the grace period given to Ocean Marine Solutions Limited to dialogue with us has expired, and the world will hear the consequences of Ocean Marine Solutions Limited for sidelining the youth's  rightful employment slots.
"Captain Hosa Okunbor and his Management should be held responsible for fuelling the impending danger in the petroleum industry, which will affect Nigeria's economy badly.
"OMS has no right and wherewither to short-change the youths in PRoW and tell lies to cow us down for agitating for our legitimate job slots.
"We are appealing once again to the Inspector General of Police and President Muhammadu Buhari to order different security agencies, as well as the Economy and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC to investigate the dubious activities of Ocean Marine Solutions Limited in the Warri Escravos and Forcados (Burutu), because we will no longer tolerate the illicit activities of OMS against the youths and our environment.
"We are also informing the Government of Delta State, the  Minister for Petroleum and the  Minister for Environment that the peaceful youths of Warri Escravos and Forcados have kept to their promise of maintaining peace in the creeks  despite the fact that Captain Hosa Okunbor and his Management in OMS have been sidelining the youths in the PRoW job slots since 2017 the contract was awarded to OMS, but we are ready to use all means to get our job slots in no distance time."

COVID-19: Ask God For Mercy And Seek His Face ln This Perilous Time, Evang. Peresine Tells Nigerians

COVID-19: Ask God For Mercy And Seek His Face ln This Perilous Time, Evang. Peresine Tells Nigerians

Wilson Macaulay


A call has been made by Peresine Watchman for Nigerians to stop panicking over the corona virus pandemic in Nigeria and the world. He admonished Nigerians to humble themselves and ask God for mercy and put their trust in Him alone to conquer the pandemic disease.

Peresine made this call through his verified Twitter account on Sunday, June 28, 2020, stating that fear had affected and killed people psychologically but those who seek the face of God would always overcome this perilous time.

His statement reads:

"If this Corona Virus continues to spread in the world and international flights are being restricted from carrying out operations till the end of the year 2020, then many Nigeria's Leaders who always go to foreign countries for medical treatment will die of the ailments that always take them abroad, except God shows them mercy.

"As Covid-19 affects the poor in a poorer way, the rich, (especially those who have stolen public funds and those who are still stealing public funds to the detriment of Nigeria and the Nigerian populace), are also being prevented by Covid-19 from traveling abroad for medical reasons...

"It's unreasonable for any Leader to still think of stealing public funds to accumulate unnecessary wealth for his/her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren as late Sani Abacha did, instead of using such funds to build World-class Hospitals in all the States and the Headquarters of the 774 LGAs in Nigeria, and standard cottage Hospitals or befiting Health Centres in all communities and villages.

"Nigerian government as a matter of necessity, should carry out measures to fumigate every part of the country, to eliminate diease causing insects like mosquitoes, etc, and provide portable waters in the cities and rural areas, for both the poor and the rich to have a healthy living.

"I also use this medium to advise Governments at the Federal and State levels to create job opportunities for the youths, make business friendly policies and create the enabling environment for businesses to boom.

"Nigerians, especially those who refuse to learn a lesson from Covid-19 outbreak, and are still stealing funds meant for infrastructural and human capital developments should realize that God's judgement awaits everyone for the seed one sows.

"There is no doubt, Nigerians have often times abused the privilege given to them by God to make choices. Instead of making the right choices, we make wrong choices, because we never cared to involve God in our decision making proceses - in politics and in governance.

"Government officials should genuinely involve God in governance and always ask God for divine direction; they should govern the people with the fear of God in their plans, actions and deeds.

"Nigerians should also humble themselves and ask God for mercy, to save the nation from this predicament Nigeria is into, and for Him to always lead us alright to make the right choices in choosing progressive and patrotic Nigerians  as political leaders at the National, State and Local Government levels.

"It saddens my heart that the Government across the globe has so much believe in sciences and medicine to overcome this pandemic disease but fails to realize that God can eliminate this virus in a day. They echoed and have been re-echoing the scientific and medical guidelines and precautionary measures for one to take in order not to be infested with the virus without including God's precautionary measures and guidelines, as the figures keep increasing daily.

"I believe strongly that what kills and affects someone psychologically is fear, and fear is something one believes that exists even if that thing does not actually exist; what you believe that does not exist cannot kill or affect you even if it truly exists. It's high time Nigerian governments at all levels realized this and involve God's guidelines to conquer the existing unexisting Covid-19 in the country."

Edo Guber Race: Tinubu Urges Adams Oshiomole To Return Home And Rally Round Support For Ize-lyamu

Edo Guber Race: Tinubu Urges Adams Oshiomole To Return Home And Rally Round Support For  Ize-lyamu

Francis Tayor

The former Governor of Lagos State and The National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, speaks for the first time on the ongoing crisis in the party. In his reaction, he believed the current crisis impede the performance of the dissolved National Working Committee (NWC) and also affected the unity and coordination of the party.

He lauded President Buhari’s decision in dissolving the National Working Committee and appealed to all members of APC to accept it. He believes President Buhari has done what a parent in his position and with his authority would do. So, Tinubu said, “It is now beholden on all of us, as members of the APC, to recommit ourselves to the ideals and principles on which our party was founded.”

More so, he appreciated the composure, loyalty, and obedience of Adams Oshiomole, the former National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), to the party and the President. He emphasized that Oshiomole has a more significant role to play in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State.

He charged Oshiomole to return to the state and rally round Ize-Iyamu, the gubernatorial candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State. He told him to energize the campaign that will enable Ize-Iyamu to be elected as Edo State Governor comes September, 2020.

If Adams Oshomhole will gather himself to Edo, raise Ize lyamu hands for Edo people to choose as their governor and Edo people will clap hands for him. one will say wonders shall never cease to happen. The same Ize--lyamu he croscified yesterday will be Edo savior today is a great misnomer. Edo people are waiting for Adams to answer some questions when Ize--lyamu has become a saint to govern Edo people. 419 is a deadly concept. If I were in Adams shoes I will never campaign for Ize- lyamu. how will I start? There should be level of self integrity.When such is lacking katakata and wahala go de follow you up and down..Edo people shine your eyes.We know you will.

Just-ln: Invasion Of King Of Zion Palace Bolowou, Dr. Clement Tonfawei Calls On Nigerian Police To Arrest Chief. Ajube And His Gangs

Just-ln: Invasion Of King Of Zion Palace Bolowou, Dr. Clement Tonfawei Calls On Nigerian Police To Arrest Chief. Ajube And His Gangs


Ondo_____ Report reaching our news desk has it that, a group of hoodlums led by one Mr. Bibopre Ajube, popularly known as 'SHOOT AT SIGHT' invaded the palace of the head of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church Worldwide, Rev. Dr. Epistle Jemine, in Bolowou Town, Ondo State.

The group invaded the palace of the King of Zion, on Wednesday 24th June, 2020, destroying properties worth millions of naira, as well as beating up the innocent wife of the head of the C&S church.

While carrying out their mission, the group attacked several aides and followers of the man of God in the palace, injured many and whisked away over 18 followers of the king of Zion to an unknown destination.

Though, the reasons for the invasion is yet unknown at the time of filling this report. And the destination of the abducted persons is still unknown.

While making findings about the incident, our reporter placed a call through the Chief Security Officer of the Zion mission worldwide, Apostle Dr. Clement Tonfawei, who gave indebt details about the incident, confirming it.

Dr. Tonfawei said the reason for the invasion of the palace of the king of Zion, beating up of his innocent wife and the abduction of over 18 of his followers is still unknown, noting that it is a shock about what is happening.

Apostle Clement stated that, he does not know what on earth would warrant Mr Ajube and his gang to carry out such inhuman, unlawful and criminal act on the most revered spiritual leader of the C&S Church worldwide.

The Chief Security Officer also narrated that Mr Ajube led a group of security men to the palace of the King of Zion, and arrested him not long ago. This culminated to a rancour before it was resolved by the Nigerian Police.

CSO Clement described the act as criminal, and the abduction of the followers of the man of God as an offence. As such, charged the Nigerian Security agencies to address the issue accordingly, by bringing the perpetrators to book.

Apostle Clement therefore, called on the security agencies in the country, to wade into the issue without delay, and arrest Mr Bibopre Ajube and his gang. And as well move for the release of the abducted persons.

In his words:

"I Apostle (Dr) Clement Tonfawei, the Chief Security Officer of the Zion mission worldwide, want to use this medium to condemn in its entirety, the invasion of the palace of the king of Zion, beating up of his wife and the abduction of over 18 of his followers, by Mr Bibopre Ajube also known as 'SHOOT AT SIGHT' and his gang.

On Monday the 24th of June 2020. Mr Bibopre Ajube and his gang of hoodlums invaded the palace of the King of Zion, Reverend Dr. Epistle Jemine in Bolowou town. And destroyed properties worth millions of naira, also beat up the innocent wife of the man of God, and left several of his aides and followers badly injured.

Mr Ajube and his gang of hoodlums, after destroying several properties in the palace, also abducted over 18 followers of the king of Zion to a destination still unknown to us.

We are still amazed on why Mr Ajube, who is an Ex-militant general, who has handed over arms and pledged allegiance to the Federal government of Nigeria, to be of good conduct, and have  accepting the Federal Amnesty, would still carryout such inhuman, unlawful and criminal act.

From the informations we have gathered, we are   aware that majority of the abducted persons are been tortured severely, with different kinds of tools, by Ajube and his gang. Leaving them with severe injuries.

I am using this avenue to call on the Nigerian security agencies, to step into the issue immediately, and arrest Mr Bibopre Ajube and his gang. And also to free the abducted persons.

I therefore, urge the Nigerian security agencies to lay adequate emphasis on the issue. As the act perpetuated by Mr Ajube and his gang is inhuman and criminal. The ungodly act of Mr Ajube and his gang should be seen as a capital offence, as no Nigerian has the right to abduct another Nigerian under any circumstances, the statement adds".

APC Crisis: Tinubu Blast President Buhari, Calls Him Ingrate After Spending Over #35 Billion To Make Him President

APC Crisis: Tinubu Blast President Buhari, Calls Him Ingrate After Spending Over #35 Billion To Make Him President

Francis Tayor

Lagos____ The embattled National Leader of the All progressive Congress, APC Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken a huge swipe at President Mohammadu Buhari, describing him as an ingrate on whom he spent over N35 billion to make president.

Tinubu’s outburst came a day after Buhari torpedoed his Presidential ambition, endorsing another faction of the APC in the leadership tussle that has engulfed the party, sources close to the former Governor of Lagos State revealed.


On Wednesday, Buhari endorsed acting national secretary, Victor Gaidom as acting National Chairman of APC. Barely 24hrs later, he orchestrated the dissolution of the party’s National Working Committee, NWC. Yobe State governor Mai Mala Bunu was appointed to lead the party’s caretaker Chairman.

Sources revealed that Bunu, Abubakar Bagudu and Nasir El-Rufai, governors of Yobe, Kebbi and Kaduna States respectively, as well as Transport Minister Chibuike Amaechi belong to the same political camp opposed to Tinubu.

Soon after Thursday’s NEC meeting, it was gathered that Tinubu got on the telephone with a former national chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, lamenting and cursing everyone perceived to be behind his political travails.

A source who privy to the conversation told our reporter that the former Lagos state Governor complained to Akande, reportedly expressing regrets on all he did for the APC.

“Asiwaju lamented that he invested over N35 billion to fund Buhari’s elections in 2015 and 2019 and yet, he is never appreciated,” the source said.

However, we could not independently verify the total figure Tinubu claimed to have spent on Buhari’s two elections.

The source further hinted that the embattled APC leader regretted not backing his former political ally and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar in 2019 over Buhari, and blamed El-Rufai, Amaechi and former Ogun State governor Ibikunle Amosun as the arrowheads of the opposition to his political aspiration.

“Asiwaju told Akande that had he backed Atiku in 2019, he won’t have suffered this kind of political humiliation. He said that were it not for him, the APC would not have won the 2015 and 2019 elections,” disclosed the source.

Our source gathered that Tinubu may have been dealt the biggest political blow of his life yet in retaliation for how he (Tinubu)  humiliated the immediate past governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.

According to the source, Buhari and other top leaders of the APC had begged Tinubu to allow Ambode complete his tenure. As events later proved, the pleas fell on deaf ears.

The APC leaders were said to have vowed to pay Tinubu in his own coin for not just disobeying the President but also carrying on like the sole owner of the party.

Meanwhile, a cold war is currently brewing between Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

According to sources close to both political gladiators, Tinubu may have since 1999 skimmed up to $1.5 billion directly and through proxies. Governor Sanwo-Olu is reportedly not pleased with Tinubu’s “overbearing demands  and his attempt to control his government.”

Ambode is reportedly happy that Tinubu’s humiliation would give him some respite.

Don't Play Politics With The Office Of Coordinator Presidential Amnesty Programme, Comrade Christopher Adaka Tells President Buhari

Don't Play Politics With The Office Of Coordinator Presidential Amnesty Programme, Comrade Christopher Adaka Tells President Buhari


It is a well known fact that the Presidential Amnesty Programme was not established through political agitation but via sustained agitation through the sweat and blood of Niger-Delta Youths.

The collective and sustained agitation by Niger-Delta Youths brought the needed attention of the Federal Government to the plights of the Niger-Delta People, therefore necessitating the intervention of the Federal Government which BIRTHED the Presidential Amnesty Programme. Truth is what conforms to reality, in the heat of the Niger-Delta Agitation most of our Political elites never supported our agitation they even tagged us militants especially the Ijaws: today God has transformed our adversaries into our benefits, these same people who collaborated with our oppressors have now hijacked the product of our collective struggle: surely there is an end, and the end must surely justify the means: we must take back the Product of our collective struggle.

The call for the next Coordinator to be a Product or Stunt Supporter of the struggle right from the creek days is not misplaced because he who feels it knows it: as a Labourer deserves his wages, no one can tell or sell our story better than us.

The delay in announcing a Coordinator to pilot the affairs of the Presidential Amnesty Programme is causing more harm than good as some delegates with just few months to complete their Training and Empowerment have now been put on hault due to the limitations of the INTERIM Committee.

If Professor Charles Dokubo has been investigated then let the needful be done: if he is guilty let him be prosecuted accordingly, if he is not guilty let the needful be done so as to rejuvenate the Amnesty Programme for the benefit of genuine delegates: when two elephants are fighting the ground suffers it all, delegates are at the receiving end thus there needs to be a sincerity of purpose from all and sundry in other to alleviate the sufferings of genuine delegates occasioned by the vaccum in the Presidential Amnesty Office.

While we earnestly wait for a Coordinator to be announced, the key players to pen it down should bear in mind that the original Presidential Amnesty delegates who were dully documented as card carriers are calling for a product of the struggle or a staunch supporter of the struggle to be appointed as Coordinator of PAP: majority of delegates are calling on the likes of High Chief Dr Selky Kile Torughedi aka General Young Shall Grow, the King of the Youths to be appointed as Coordinator of PAP due to his Leadership qualities as a listening Leader and an astute administrator who grew through the ranks and files of the Niger-Delta Struggle.

Please feel free to share your views and opinions in a civilised manner: We all want a better Amnesty Programme that will benefit us all irrespective of tribe and political affiliations, your views and opinions are vital: Together Everybody Achieves More (TEAM).
