Dear Lord, from the bottom of my heart, I say thank You for blessing me with another beautiful year. Iβm grateful for this priceless gift that You have freely bestowed on me.

THE CASE FOR A NEW DELTA (2)
Key economic data and self-evident facts attest to PDP's deep-rooted irresponsible governance in Delta. In the last 12 years, our State has received over N1.7 trillion from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC).
THE CASE FOR A NEW DELTA (8)
We stand on our assertion that the PDP is a clear, present and continuing danger in our State.
We owe ourselves and future generations the duty to respond to its manifest failing by first removing it from power.
What is the Delta State Ministry of Agriculture doing in terms of practical farming and building of food collection centres and processing mills for commercial purposes?
There is Songhai Delta somewhere in Amukpe, Sapele. Is that place still functioning?
THE CASE FOR A NEW DELTA (3)
We are definitely not where we ought to be. Our people, especially the youth, have no jobs. Our enterprising youths ride 'Keke' to survive, making Delta the nation's 'Keke Capital'. Our streets are extremely dirty.
Deep gratitude to the Almighty One, The giver and the sustainer of life for the privilege of another year in the land of the living.
Head bowed
Heart humbled
I recommit to the assignment you have given to me...
Today
Tomorrow and always for humanity.
So help me God.
