Dr. Rukevwe Ugwumba is the Special Adviser, Health Monitoring to the Delta State Governor. Until she joined the Government of Delta State in August 2011, Dr. Ugwumba was an associate professor in Family Medicine, University of Saskatchewan in Canada.

If former Secretary to the State Government, Obarisi (Barr.) Ovie Omo-Agege decides to seek the governorship of Delta State in 2015, there will be little political oxygen left for anyone else. I have taken so many factors into consideration to arrive at the conclusion that Omo-Agege, who came second to the two-term incumbent Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan in the PDP primaries in 2007, will become the Delta PDP best-selling candidate, the ultimate game changer as soon as he joins the race.

I’m going to give answers to that question as a woman, mother and as a pastor. As a woman, first and foremost, we know clearly that these girls are going to be beaten and raped; and most of them are virgins. Definitely, that’s going to affect them because if we want to have better women, we must make sure the girl child is well-trained, emotionally balanced, healthy and educated. So, these people are going to release to us horrible women in future. As a mother, this is not something that any mother should even imagine. My biological daughters are not among them but I must tell you that for weeks, I’ve been very sad. When I close my eyes, it’s like I’m seeing them screaming while being raped. I’m praying to God seriously about it because it is very disturbing.
