2023: SDP Will Emerge Victorious in Delta, Get Ready, I Will Work With Youths, Women, Professionals, Traders....Gbagi

By Ezekiel Kagbala

As the 2023 general elections draw closer in Nigeria, Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Delta State for 2023 governorship election, Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi, has expressed optimism that SDP will produce the Govern of Delta State come 2023.

Gbagi shared his optimism at his country home, Oginibo, Ughelli South Local Government Area yesterday, while responding to questions from journalists during a media chat.

According to him, his party will emerge victorious in the state, adding that “market women, school teachers, pensioners, churches and church goers will vote and they do not have any structure.”

He said: “It is an election where you are to pick somebody that you believe can guarantee the future of your children, state and the fate of children yet unborn.

“Among all of us who have been thrown up as governorship aspirants, the choice is left to Deltans; if you want to pick somebody who will deaden the state than it already is left to the electorates. If they want the state to develop to a point when you go to teach and your salaries are paid as at when due; you finish pension and you get your money as at when due, is up to them as long as no one complains after the 29th of May, 2023.

“If they participate in selling their birthright for a package of Maggi or rice or any form of bribe, it is left to them to decide. I resonate to work with the youths in the society…the pensioners, teachers, doctors and to work with any and all that mean well for Delta State. So, the issue of structure has nothing to do with the election.”

He continued: “I do not need to have a structure. Everybody already knows me and what I do in Delta state. If you truly want your industries to be revived which I can do, I am the man to vote for. If you truly want your schools to be revived and your teachers paid salaries promptly I am the man to vote for. If you want your hospitals to have medical equipments and medicines to give to people, I am the man to vote for. If you want to have all these pensioners who are dying without their pensions being paid, I am the man to vote for. If you want transparency where you can see how the running of the state government Is taking place, I am the man to vote for. On the issue of industry, give me one year and come back to interview me again like this I will take you through what I have done. This state is the richest state in Africa, richer than over 24 countries in the world. I believe with all that is available here, I will turn this state to glory.”

The former Minister of State for Education said contrary to what is in the public domain, this is the first time he will be participating in an election with any political party.

In his words: “There are a lot of lies everywhere. People don’t conduct research and they just spread rumors. This is the first time I am going to be on the ballot and participate in an election and I can assure you that I will win the election.”

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning. He, however, noted that the two institutions can play complementary role that will contribute to the growth and development of the country. The Olu, who said he was elated by the Soun’s visit, said the new Ogbomoso monarch’s choice of Warri kingdom as his first place of visit was divinely directed, just as his choice for the throne was divinely ordained. He said that they owe i
