You have earned your place as one of Delta most loved Patriot and that is for sure has made you a brand so uncommon.<\/p>\n<p>I had served you and followed you and of course shared private and quality time with you. i know your passion and i know your dream.

A LOVE which most times cannot be explained, PEOPLE just loved you and followed you.<\/p>\n<p>So before you ever became known for your Gubernatorial pursuit in 2003, you had earned your place as a doyen of minority rights and self determination as far back as 1990.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=12838&amp;ad_type=59&amp;rl=180\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In 2011, you supported Goodluck Jonathan and i am sure you voted for him.<\/p>\n<p>For me, I personally regarded your decision to support Jonathan as lining with my ideological pursuit. The ideological leaning you had helped shaped since i was a boy of Fourteen (14).<\/p>\n<p>Goodluck Jonathan though an establishment choice, was a beneficiary of our self determination ideological forward march. His presidency had become symbolic, it had traded value and pride of place for minority peoples of the Nigerian contraception of a forced Union.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it was not difficult to support your Gubernatorial pursuit. YOUR GUBERNATORIAL PURSUIT TO ME WAS BEYOND MERE TERRITORIAL CONTROL.<\/p>\n<p>My support of your candidnacy was beyond the promise of putting bread on my table, saving Delta from misrule, it was not about your promise of you providing good governance, deepening of democracy nor El&#8217; dorado for the talakawas and all Deltans.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed my support was in pursuant of my strong belief that your GUBERNATORIAL VICTORY WILL HELP SPREAD THE FIRE AND ADVANCE THE ENTRECHMENT OF MINORITY RIGHTS, FISCAL FEDERALISM AND RESOURCE OWNERSHIP ACROSS THE NIGERIAN UNION.<\/p>\n<p><code><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- www.deltanewsroom.com --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2163942495525027\" data-ad-slot=\"1411897411\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/code><\/p>\n<p>My support for you was fundamentally ideological. When i took gun bullets defending your votes at the polls, when i was detained and latter went on exile, where i was abandoned but for the kindness of Late Col. Mobutu rtd. who kept me in a Lagos suburb, i repeat I did all of these because to me you were the hero of our struggle whose gubernatorial victory would help advance the cause of the oppressed people whom must exist only at the pleasure of the born to rule slave master in the Nigerian enterprise. This was a cause if so neccessary i was willing to die for.<\/p>\n<p>Again in 2015, despite certain occurances in the negative that caused many to doubt you and even question if indeed you were truly a champion and symbol of our Minority rights and Self Determination struggle or that you were simply an opportunistic young businessman who through your known benevloence rode the back of minority rights revolutionaries who truly stood for our total Freedom from the claws of supremacist and expansionist to a hyped heroism, you once again supported Goodluck Jonathan the foremost beneficiary of the now sabbatical Niger Delta Struggle.<\/p>\n<p>This time without being a member of your political party and now as an Urhobo Youth Leader, serving as an appointed National Secretary of the Youth Wing of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide i supported your decision to support Goodluck Jonathan and your Governorship aspirations. I remember telling Olorogun Otega Emerhor that though he was a profoundly good man his decision to support a Gambari supremacist of a Buhari will never make me to support him, i stood firm, mobilized youths, using my resources running into millions to hold rallies and public campaigns in advancing the common cause.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=12838&amp;ad_type=59&amp;rl=180\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For emphasis again, my support for you was NEVER THE END, IT WAS A BEND AND A MEANS TO STRENGTHEN the ideals that I believed you had always represented.<\/p>\n<p>But Sir when I heard and knew less than a week after your Gubernatorial loss to His Excellency, Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa that talks were on with Buhari whom I had and still considered a Chief supremacist, expansionist and neo colonalist and WHOM YOU HAVE NOT SUPPORTED IN THE LAST TWO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, It became very clear to me that you needed to have a new partnership that will help you win the Governorship at the Election Tribunal or at a ordered re-run election.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, it became also necessary for me to choose between the pursuit of &#8216;advancing minority rights, self determination, Freedom from supremacism and expansionism and standing with the Pan Niger Delta and Ndi&#8217; Igbo (VOTING BLOCK) Solidarity to protect our selves from a death merchant who was ready to humiliate anyone and everyone from our RESISTANT VOTING BLOCK or follow your pursuit of winning a gubernatorial election by following you to join the Chief Supremacist and Expansionist that I had vigorously campaigned against and REJECTED, more so nothing had shown that this Supremacist had even become a willing political Intergrationist. He was and still remains an old man who do not care about who we are beyond a mere constitutionally included Five per-centers.<\/p>\n<p><code><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- www.deltanewsroom.com --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2163942495525027\" data-ad-slot=\"1411897411\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Sir, many believed that you were never ideological but you only stood for what you would benefit from ANY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN POWER and that you were a political businessman trading your strong followership and wasting the future of gullible youths who believe in you fanatically.<\/p>\n<p>It was clear, that joining the People Democratic Party (PDP) at the time i did helped me to remain constitent to my ideology.<\/p>\n<p>in 2011 and 2015 you supported and voted Jonathan the Symbol of Minority uprising through the People Democratic Party (PDP) against a Buhari the symbol of Supremacism and Expansionism.<\/p>\n<p>I also supported and voted same as l followed what you supported. So at least there was a point of agreement, the People Democratic Party (PDP) we also had a common ground in rejecting Buhari the symbol of Supremacism twice. So the choice for me to follow what you supported twice was better than following you to join with a Supremacist Buhari that you rejected twice. Remember you represents the opposite of what Buhari represents. He is a Supremacist, you were a doyen of minorist. I may have been wrong anyway, i stand to be corrected.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it was clear to me, that you did not win the election against Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, and i knew you would not win through the Courts.<\/p>\n<p>I had desired you to like Dr. Goodluck Jonathan concede defeat and congratulate Dr. Okowa. But i also knew you would not do so.<\/p>\n<p>For me, i knew Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa won that election, he did not steal your mandate.<\/p>\n<p>It was clear, we had used the same strategy all the time and yet we were expecting different outcomes, a few people like in the past hijacked the process made us believe all was well only for us to discover very sadly that we were ill prepared for elections.<\/p>\n<p>It was like asking us to go to a football match without boots nor Jerseys after promising to give us the best kits, at the Football pitch we were so embarrassed to see our opponents with the best boots and Jerseys. Infact even on empty stomach and plsying on bare feet we still managed to score some goals in a match we were outclassed.<\/p>\n<p>Is it not amazing that in 2011, you won in seven Local Government Areas in Urhobo Nation and in 2015 you won only Four in the Urhobo Nation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=12838&amp;ad_type=59&amp;rl=180\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In 2011, you had Nine House of Assembly Members, Two Members of the House of Representatives and a Senator, while in 2015, you had two House of Assembly Members and a Senator.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011 you won in Delta North and Delta South Senatorial Districts, in 2015 you did not win in both the Delta North and Delta South Senatorial Districts.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the excuse of rigging would sail, yet despite same rason you did better in 2011 than in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Like in 2011, mostly all who won elective positions in your party decamped from your party or where no longer loyal to you.<\/p>\n<p>Today, only the Senator is with you, all others who won on your Party platform are no longer with you, they have decamped.<\/p>\n<p>What is happening?<\/p>\n<p>Sir, as you celebrate this birthday, i pray you take some time to reflect deeply.<\/p>\n<p>IT IS MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT YOU SHOULD NOT CONTINUE TO CONTEST THE GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS AND THAT YOU SHOULD HELP IN DEVELOPING EMERGING LEADERS.<\/p>\n<p>While you are not too hold to play partisan Politics, i must confess that Partisan Politics seem to be diminishing the brand called Ogboru election after election. HE DON DEY BRING SEE FINISH.<\/p>\n<p>Your value which i think is in the mould of the Adaka Boros, Wole Soyinkas, Chinua Achebes, John Pepper Clarks, Martin Luther King Jrs. Malcom Xs, Louis Farakhanns, Desmond Tutus who are or were international brands and global influence leaders should no longer be blighted by your contesting an elusive governorship position.<\/p>\n<p>These global influence leaders (living or dead) greatness were never tied to electoral political office nor their value limited to terms of office.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine, if you had become governor in 2003, 2007 or even 2011 you would have completed or be completing two terms of office, so after becoming Governor for Eight years, what would be next?<\/p>\n<p>It is my opinion that God did not call you to &#8216;die put&#8217; in the pursuit of being a Governor, l think your pursuit of being a Governor was just one of the many ways you could have impacted your people.

I believe that if you had completed your two terms of office this should have been a considered initiative, i think you should help build a generation of emerging leaders globally.<\/p>\n<p>While it is ultimately your decision to choose to contest the next election, i am afraid to state that it is not in your best interest.<\/p>\n<p>Should you win ( this i think is most unlikely) you would be the oldest person to be Delta State Governor so far. Beginning Govenorship at the age of Sixty &#8211; One (61) would definitely be off the mark at a time we are all clamouring for younger people to lead and Govern. THIS IS LIKE OVER AGE.<\/p>\n<p>Many of your followers would want to inspire you with the Buhari story.
