It was a biggest shame of the year, 2026 when Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the President of Ijaw Youth Council IYC only went to Odidi to take photographs make video paparazzi, ask questions got no answers or prefer solution to the deadly oil Spill that is almost ending the lives of Ijaw people from Odidi, Warri South West LGA, Burutu and the surrounding communities. The IYC turned itself to mere hustlers when after claimed to have shutdown oil companies due to the oil spill, yet the companies are still working. The main oil spillage came from Trans-Forcados Pipeline managed by Heritage Energy Operational Services limited yet Heritage is still pumping crude even in the presence of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and the IYC president and his boys. But they photographs ask questions spoke of timeline and let, yet Heritage is still Poluting the environment. Governor Oborevwori instead of giving orders and see it carried out they were talking about giving the people rice, beans Gar...

The Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, Comrade Steven Luke, has criticized the Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Chief Arthur Akpowowo, for allegedly running to the Eku Traditional Council of Elders to appeal to them to prevail on the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Chief Hon. Aghwarianovwe Novwe Ikie, to allow him to return as Deputy Speaker of the House. Comrade Steven Luke, who was in Eku, said that if Chief Arthur Akpowowo had performed well as Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly during his first tenure, his achievements and impact would have spoken for him, rather than requiring him to campaign extensively for the support of the people. According to Comrade Steven Luke, the good people of Ethiope East are asking the Deputy Speaker to present his scorecard and tell them what he has achieved for the people of the constituency. He questioned how many sons and daughters of Ethiope East have benefited from employment ...

The Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, Comrade Steven Luke, has criticized the President of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Comrade Doubra Collins Okotete, over his involvement in the oil spill situation in Odidi Community, urging him to focus more attention on the environmental challenges affecting his own kingdom, Ogulagha. Comrade Steven Luke, who made the statement while speaking in Warri South West yesterday, questioned the decision of the IYC President to visit and speak on the oil spill in Odidi when, according to him, Ogulagha is also facing serious environmental challenges arising from oil exploration and spills. He said the IYC President should prioritize the concerns of his own people and work toward securing urgent attention, accountability, and concrete action to address the environmental impact of oil exploration in Ogulagha. Comrade Steven further criticized the IYC leadership, alleging that the organization has lost some of the influence a...

From: Comr. Eboh Joseph, Asst. Publicity Sec., Ward 9 NDC, Eku 6th October, 2026 Mr. Onoriode Umuwakpa, enough of the media hype. Every day you are on Facebook telling us how your principal Hon. Arthur Akpowowo has performed. You praise him as if Ethiope East has never had it so good. My simple question to you is this: *If he has truly worked as you claim, why not allow him to come to the field with his scorecard, instead of running around looking for cheap enforcement?* Hon. Arthur Akpowowo has been in the Delta State House of Assembly for *3 years now* as our representative for Ethiope East and as Deputy Speaker. Three years is enough to show capacity. So we ask: - What project can Ethiope East point to as his own? - Which of our schools in Eku, Kokori and Abraka did he renovate? - Which youth from Ethiope East did he empower with sustainable jobs? - What impact did his position as Deputy Speaker bring to our people? The people know the answer. Nothing to show. Now you pe...

The Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, Comrade Steven Luke, has criticized the Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Chief Author Akpowowo, for allegedly dragging the Eku Traditional Council of Elders into his political affairs after four years in office without, according to him, delivering meaningful projects to the people of Ethiope East Constituency. Comrade Steven Luke, who was in Eku yesterday, said Hon. Chief Author Akpowowo should refrain from involving the Eku Traditional Council of Elders in political matters, particularly if he has failed to fulfill the promises he made to the people of Ethiope East during the 2023 election campaign. According to Comrade Steven, the people of Ethiope East Constituency deserve accountability, transparency, and tangible development. He maintained that rather than involving traditional institutions in political matters, the focus should be on presenting a clear account of achievements and explaining what ha...
