He said: “Fellow Deltans, I want to salute all of you for the massive support you gave to me and our great party, the APC. Unfortunately, as we all have seen, the ruling party in the state was not prepared for the election and they made it impossible for the mandate of the people, to be properly declared.

“I promised you a few weeks ago that we shall be in the proper arena to address the issues. We have since the past few days filed our petitions to challenge the illegalities committed by the PDP and its leaders in Delta state on the 9th of march 2019 and we believe that God being on our side, that situation will surely be reversed.

“Let me use this opportunity to tell all Deltans that hope is not lost, they should not entertain any form of fear but they should be in fervent prayers because with God all things are possible. This is one injustice that we think will not stand. And by the Grace of God, it will not stand.

“Deltans must begin to search their conscience and begin to ask themselves questions. A situation were a few communities in the riverine areas continue to determine the fate of the people of Delta state is one that should begin to make us know that something is not right in this state."

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
