STEVEN LUKE FIRES BACK: STOP HIDING BEHIND PROPAGANDA AND ANSWER THE REAL QUESTIONS ABOUT IYEDE’S DEVELOPMENT

Image
Comrade Steven Luke, Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, has fired back at those attempting to defend Chief Kome Oghenekome Reginald Okpobor, insisting that no amount of political propaganda, name-calling, or grammatical gymnastics can silence legitimate questions about the welfare and development of the people of Iyede. It is laughable that someone would write such a lengthy response attacking Steven Luke while avoiding the fundamental questions raised about Chief Okpobor’s political appeal to the people of Iyede. Instead of addressing the issues, the writer has chosen to turn the matter into a personal battle against Steven Luke. That is not an answer; it is an attempt to distract the public from the real issues. Chief Okpobor is entitled to support the APC, but he must also be prepared to answer questions about his political choices and responsibilities. Holding a government position does not place anyone above public scrutiny, and no political appointme...

Chief Oghenekome Okpobor Did Not Welcome Any NDC Members in Iyede, but Rather Welcomed His Maternal and Paternal Family Members In Iyede.

Image
The Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, Comrade Steven Luke, has criticized the Executive Director of Finance of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC), Chief Oghenekome Okpobor, over claims that he has won the hearts of members and supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Delta State. Comrade Steven Luke alleged that the people featured in the photographs taken during Okpobor’s visit to Iyede community were his family members, relatives, friends, and other community members, rather than NDC members who had defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking after travelling from Warri to Iyede community in Isoko North Local Government Area, Comrade Steven Luke maintained that the photographs should not be presented as evidence that NDC members had abandoned their party to support the APC. According to him, the people who welcomed Chief Okpobor were community members and relatives who came out ...

AS HERITAGE CONTINUES OIL POLLUTION IN ODIDI, IYC UNDER DOUBRA COLLINS OKOTETE’S LEADERSHIP HAS BECOME A TOOTHLESS BULLDOG

Image

Image
The Spokesperson of the Human and Peoples’ Rights Advocate of the Niger Delta, Comrade Steven Luke, has called on the good people of Isokoland to reject the proposed military barracks that Delta State Governor, Rt.

Chief Oghenekome Okpobor: Nobody Is Going to Sheathe Their Swords and Allow You to Enjoy the Ukodo Meant for Everyone Alone.

Image
The Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, Comrade Steven Luke, has criticised Chief Oghenekome Okpobor, Executive Director of Finance of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC), over his call on the people of Iyede to sheathe their swords and support the All Progressives Congress (APC). Comrade Steven Luke described the appeal as unfair, arguing that the people of Iyede should not be expected to support a political party that, in his view, has plunged Nigerians into economic hardship simply because it has benefited Chief Okpobor personally. Speaking in Iyede, Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State, Comrade Steven Luke alleged that Chief Okpobor had enjoyed the benefits of the system for almost four years without adequately considering the welfare of the people of Iyede, who, according to him, supported him before his appointment as Executive Director of Finance at DESOPADEC. He questioned why Chief Okpobor was now calling on the s...

The Rights Activist Comrade Ebis made the call on Thursday in Asaba, Delta State. She said, “The arrest of the Commissioner Dr. Kingsley Ashibogwu alongside other persons connected to the investigation into the death of Dr. Unity Ekpevbughe Adeda, cannot be the end of the matter. “Where the actions of persons attached to that office have allegedly resulted in the death of a senior civil servant, the Governor cannot be expected to maintain the status quo and simply wait for public outrage to disappear.  The Commissioner should be withdrawn from the Ministry and removed from office. “This is n...
