RT. HON. GOVERNOR SHERIFF OBOREVWORI: ISOKO DIDN’T ASK FOR A MILITARY BARRACK; ISOKO ONLY WANTS ELECTRICITY, JUST AS YOUR COMMUNITY, OSUBI, ENJOYS 24-HOUR POWER SUPPLY.

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. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, reportedly intends to establish in Isoko South Local Government Area, Oleh.

Comrade Steven Luke stated that what Isoko people need from the state government at this time is different from what is being proposed. According to him, the people of Isokoland do not need a military barracks as their immediate priority; rather, they need reliable electricity to improve their living conditions and stimulate economic development.

Speaking during a visit to Oleh, the headquarters of Isoko South Local Government Area, Comrade Steven Luke maintained that electricity is one of the most urgent needs of the people. He explained that a stable power supply would make Isokoland a better place to live, boost businesses, and create opportunities for local entrepreneurs and investors.

He further noted that farmers and fishermen would benefit from reliable electricity through improved preservation and storage of their produce, thereby reducing waste and increasing their earnings. He also emphasized that electricity contributes to community security, as well-lit streets and public spaces can help deter criminal activities and make residents feel safer.

Comrade Steven Luke argued that establishing a military barracks would not, by itself, guarantee economic growth or attract foreign and local investors to Isokoland. He challenged the state government to demonstrate the tangible economic benefits that military barracks established in other local government areas of Delta State have brought to their host communities.

He expressed concern that military installations should not be presented as a substitute for essential infrastructure and economic development. He also warned against the possibility of security institutions being misused by political leaders against the very people they are meant to protect.

Comrade Steven Luke therefore urged Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to prioritize the provision of stable electricity and other essential infrastructure for Isokoland rather than focusing on a military barracks that, in his view, does not address the immediate needs of the people.

He concluded by calling on the people of Isoko to speak with one voice and demand development projects that will improve their livelihoods, strengthen local businesses, create employment opportunities, and provide a better future for generations to come.

Chief Daniel Omoyibo, AKA DANMOTECH: If You Can Mobilize Such a Crowd for APC 5/5 in Oleh, What Is Stopping You from Mobilizing for Isoko’s Need for Light?

The Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, Comrade Steven Luke, has criticized Chief Daniel Omoyibo, popularly known as DANMOTECH, over his reported mobilisation of a large crowd in Oleh, Isoko South Local Government Area, in support of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Senator Joel-Onowakpor ahead of the 2027 general elections. Reports of the mobilisation and endorsement were published following Senator Joel-Onowakpor’s visit to Oleh. Comrade Steven Luke questioned why such enormous influence and mobilisation capacity could not be equally directed towards advocating for a lasting solution to the persistent electricity challenges confronting Isoko Nation. According to him, if Chief Daniel Omoyibo can mobilise such a large number of Isoko people from their respective homes to support the APC’s political agenda, he should also be able to mobilise the same people and political stakeholders to demand improved and reliable electri...

The Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, Comrade Steven Luke, has publicly exposed what he described as false claims by Hon. Ferguson Onwo and his aides, Ofrokor M. Pedro, over the construction of classrooms and fencing at Okpolo Enwhe Primary School in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State. According to Comrade Steven Luke, the claims credited to Hon. Ferguson Onwo are misleading, as the projects in question were not executed by him. Speaking during his visit to Okpolo Enwhe community on January 15, 2026, Comrade Steven said he personally inspected the newly constructed classrooms and fencing, which he confirmed were carried out by the Chairman of Isoko South Local Government Area, Hon. Friday Warri. He praised Hon. Friday Warri, describing him as a leader with vision and genuine commitment to grassroots development, in contrast to what he referred to as “greedy and selfish leaders” who take credit for projects they did not execute. Comrade Steven Luke furth...
