CHIEF Olabode Goerge, a former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in this interview, calls on the warring factions in the party to sheathe their swords.

Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori is member representing Okpe constituency in Delta State House of Assembly. He is one of the strong voices in the House and has been able to influence some projects to his area in less than one year in the legislature.

There has been unease in Delta State Labour Party, LP, since serial governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru, said he might collapse the structure of the party in the state, on which platform he ran for governorship in 2015, to now move same to the All Progressives Party, APC. In this chat with Sunday Vanguard, the 2015 Delta APC governorship candidate, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, affirms that Ogboru and a former state House of Assembly Speaker, Victor Ochei, will be admitted into the party in June, but that the move does not amount to a merger.

It is expectation of every parent seeing his child goes on in life to become successful.

The best of empowerment, many have said, is to teach people how to fish and not to continuously give them fish. It is not clear if this popular saying prompted the member, House of Representative representing Irepo/Orelope/Olorunsogo Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Honorable Bosun Oladele when, as a departure from the culture of giving out money for temporary benefit by politicians of his clime, the federal lawmaker, by way of his constituency project as captured in the 2015 Budget, decided to empower his constituents in a way that they would be able to carry on with their jobs at hands in a more productive way.

One person that would be conspicuously missing at today’s national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP whether in Abuja or Port-Harcourt would be Chief Olisa Metuh, the outgoing National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. On Thursday, Metuh’s physical frailty seemed to compound his seeming political pains when he vomited twice in court. Today’s convention, if it holds, would be the first one that Metuh would be missing from or not involved in an active role.

The fact-finding and reconciliation team set up by the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), led by Prince Olagusoye Oyinlola, to resolve the crisis in the APC in Edo State, arrived penultimate Thursday and held their first meeting with Governor Adams Oshiomhole. Other members of the delegation included Hajia Fatima Muhammed, a member of the Board of Trustees (BOT); Alhaji Ahmed Abdulahi, Prince Martins Bisong, Senator Osita Izunaso and Senator Ndoma Egba. Their mandate was to unravel the cause of the dispute between Oshiomhole and his deputy, Dr Pius Odubu and also find lasting solution to the crisis which had engulfed the party ahead of the September 10 governorship election in the state.

How the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP came to its present distress would surely confound the likes of Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, a former national chairman of the party. In 2008, Ogbulafor had bragged that the party would rule the country for 60 straight years. Besides being shoved from the pedestal of power, the party is today at the point of disintegration.

Lawyer, educationist, and philanthropist, Barrister Ken Imansuagbon yesterday became the first to pick the Edo State governorship nomination form of the APC vowing that he would also be the first in the race to Government House, Benin.

The waiting game on Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia’s Edo Mass Movement, EMM seems to be reaching a climax. The EMM had earlier expressed its determination to produce an aspirant to win the governorship ticket of any of the major political parties.
