Delta 2027: What Value Will Oborevwori Bring To Delta APC?

By George Urhie   By every permutation, calculation, or mind game applied, 2027 is the inescapable season the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) will lose its hegemony over Delta State. Predictably, more than any concerned individual or group, the state ruling party, since 1999, sees this looming political doom staring its leadership and increasingly shrinking followers in the face.

As Jim Derek Seizes The Gauntlet For Sheriff

Basil Okoh,   A composition by a JSS-level critic was written in response to my op-ed with the title: “2027: TINUBU LOSES IN DELTA IF SHERIFF FIELDED BY APC”. To prove himself to be a juvenile critic, the writer with the moniker Jim Derek, mentioned the name Basil Okoh 31 times in a 1620 word, two-page composition and splattered the pages with abuse, hate and contradictory assertions, completely lacking focus or understanding of what was written.
