Delta APC Embroiled in Internal Power Struggles - Sagacious Louis

The Delta APC is indeed embroiled in a complex web of internal conflicts, with various groups vying for power and influence. At the heart of this conundrum are four distinct elements of leaders, each with their own agendas and motivations.

The Four Elements of Leaders in the Delta APC Conundrums
*1. _The Power Seekers_*
This group is driven by a desire to wrest power from the PDP, but their strategies often overlook the importance of collective, grassroots-oriented principles that focus on managing people's opinions.

*2. _The Disgruntled Group_*
This set is disillusioned with the first group due to unfulfilled past promises or broken alliances.

*3. _The Opportunists_*
This group exploit internal conflicts to gain leverage and negotiate for federal appointments.

*4. _The Moles_*
This set uses the crisis to receive funds from the PDP, fueling the conflict and negotiating with the PDP to undermine other APC candidates and personal financial gain.

Interestingly, some noise makers within these groups are either unaware of these dynamics or are benefiting financially or position from the situation.

DELTA APC: "I REMAIN THE STATE CHAIRMAN", DECLARES SOBOTIE

The All Progressives Congress, Delta State chapter has again been thrown into leadership crisis following a purported stepping aside by the state Chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie on health grounds.

News broke out on Friday when a statement signed by the state Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo stated that the State working Committee has appointed the Delta Central Vice Chairman, Chief Paulinus Akpeki to, instead of the Deputy Chairman, Francis Obigbor, step in as the Acting Chairman.

The announcement has caused uproar and has sharply divided the party again with the former Deputy Senate President's camp rejecting the Akpeki's nomination. They insisted that Francis Obigbor must be allowed to occupy the position, also citing relevant sections of the party's Constitution.

First to react was the immediate and pioneer state chairman of the party, Jones Erue who questioned from where the SWC derived it's powers to make such appointment or pronouncement without the express ratification by the SEC. He therefore called that a SEC meeting be convened without any further delay or risk plunging the party into constitutional banana peels.

On the other hand, the state Deputy Chairman, Barr. Francis Obigbor has declared himself as the Ag. State Chairman, describing the announcement of Paulinus Akpeki as a failed palace coup.

All pointers indicate that he has the backing and blessings of Senator Ovie Omoagege whom many believe is fighting the biggest political intra political battle of his life as many top leaders of the party are said to be unhappy with his leadership style which they believe cost the party the 2023 Governorship election.

However, in a twist of events, the state chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie has denied ever stepping aside and declared that he remains in charge of the party.

Sobotie spoke to our reporter on phone earlier on Saturday. He stated that it is wrong for any of the feuding groups to lay claim to his seat when he never stepped down or announced same through any means. He asked our Reporter to demand for any letter addressed to the SWC or even the SEC notifying them of his alleged stepping down as Chairman.

He said "I am surprised that this is happening. We are just recovering from a prolonged crisis and instead of consolidating on it, some persons are just out to throw the party back into crisis. I remain the Chairman of the party unless I communicate otherwise you the appropriate quarters through the appropriate means. Until I send in a letter, nobody should lay claim to my seat".

Asked further who is supposed to legitimately step in if he finally sends in a letter, he maintained that the position of the party's Constitution and precedences will prevail. He therefore asked party faithful and stakeholders to ignore both Akpeki and Obigbor.

As it stands presently, the Delta State APC can now be said to have 3 Chairmen and unless the leaders, Elders and all critical stakeholders take drastic and urgent measures, all efforts to reposition the party ahead of 2027 might come to nuts as early as in 2024.

LAND GRABBING ALLEGATIONS: OKOROCHA UNDER FIRE IN ABUJA
........ Illegally demolishes properties worth over 100 billion naira

The former Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha has been accused of attempting to illegally grab a massive portion of land along Lugbe, Airport road in Abuja the Federal Capital Territory.

On Monday, hell was let loose when some group of policemen armed to the teeth, arrived in a Bus belonging to the former Governor stormed the said estate in a Commando-like manner creating an atmosphere of panic and tension.

Upon arrival, they started shooting sporadically into the air and firing tear gas indiscriminately at residents and workers at the building construction site in order to enable them carry out an illegal and wicked demolition of buildings in the estate in an attempt to forcefully takeover the said land.

The land in question located somewhere in Lugbe, Airport road is owned by Bonatech Electricals Ltd, and the Company has since dragged Okorocha to the FCT Federal High Court since 2023 over the ownership of the property.

The matter however which is in the Federal High Court of Abuja has suit number FCT/HC/CV/6489/2023 and has ETHA VENTURES, belonging to Okorocha's second son, Amen Rochas as its defendant.

However, having seen the handwriting on the wall that his son may lose the case in court following all empirical evidences and documents presented by the Plaintiff, Bonatech Electrical Limited, Okorocha and his son have been doing everything illegally possible including attempts to induce staff of the FCDA to help them formalise their forged documents while deploying his vast contacts and money to grab the massive land.

Eventhough both parties are still waiting for the final court judgment. It is imperative that the Okorocha family play by the books and respect rule of law rather than dancing naked in the market place.

During the illegal demolition operation, to cover their track and leave no trace, the Police officers deceived the workers on the building construction site that they came from FCDA.

However, the company is calling on the Minister of the federal capital territory, HE Barrister Nyesom Wike, Management of the Federal Capital Territory Authority, FCDA, appropriate authorities and all well meaning Nigerians to call Okorocha and his family to order as this illegal way of grabbing land which he has been used to and known for over the years is not the way to go. He should follow due process and respect the rule of law.

BREAKING!!!

GRAND PLOT TO DISQUALIFY SEN. OKPEBHOLO, OTHERS FROM EDO APC PRIMARY EXPOSED.

In a shocking turn of events, a grand plot to disqualify Monday Okpebholo, a leading aspirant from the Edo Central senatorial district to contest the forthcoming Governorship election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been exposed.

The plot was allegedly orchestrated by Julius Ihonbvere, and other members of the five-man governorship screening committee appointed by the National leadership of APC.

According to sources close to the matter, Ihonbvere and his committee members had alledgly devised a plan to find faults and disqualify Okpebholo and some other aspurants from the governorship race.

The motives behind this plot remain unclear, but speculations suggest that it could be the only way to stop the high flying Senator who is seen as the only strong aspirant from Edo Central senatorial district and deny the people of the district the chance of producing the next Governor which they believe should be their turn for equity and fairness.

The committee, responsible for screening and vetting aspirants of the APC was expected to conduct a fair and unbiased evaluation of each candidate's qualifications and suitability for the position. However, it appears that this will not be the case as Okpebholo and some other aspirants from North Senatorial district have been put in same boat.

Leaked information and testimonies from insiders reveal that the committee members have been allegedly mandated to manipulate the screening process to create a negative image of the marked aspirants and get them disqualified.

They allegedly fabricated allegations of incompetence and misconduct against him, aiming to tarnish his reputation and disqualify him from the race.

The exposure of this plot has caused an uproar within the APC and the wider political community. Many party members and supporters of Okpebholo especially have expressed their outrage as they await final outcome of screening exercise.

The people of Edo Central are already expressing their lack of confidence in the committee and demanded an immediate investigation into the matter.

They argue that such actions undermine the democratic principles of fairness and transparency.

This plot against him and some other aspirants is a desperate attempt to eliminate strong contenders from the governorship race so as to create room for the emergence of a former Deputy Governor, Lucky Imasuen who is the alledged choosen candidate from Edo South district, a district that is just completing an 8 years administration.

Following this discovery, the political pulse in the state especially in the APC is heated just as the exposure of this plot has raised questions about the integrity of the screening process and the fairness of the upcoming governorship primaries of the APC. It has also highlighted the need for stronger mechanisms to prevent such manipulations and ensure a level playing field for all aspirants to enable the party go into the election as a united house.

The fate of Monday Okpebholo and other aspirants who will be screened out and the credibility of the APC's screening committee now hang in the balance.

The way and manner both the screening exercise and the primary proper is conducted will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the party and the upcoming election.

HAS HOPE UZODINMA BROKEN THE SOUTH EAST "SIT AT HOME" JINX?

Unarguably, there is something about Gov. Hope UZODINMA that other Governors especially those of South East should learn from.

The man's courage and will power could be the secret weapon.

Over the years, Mondays have remained a no dare day for travellers and commuters in the entire South East owing to fear of the known and dreaded Unknown Gun men who have been wrecking havoc across the zone, but at same time, has been staunchly waged a war against by Governor Hope UZODINMA.

Truth be told, if not for Uzodinma's courage, Imo state in particular and the entire zone would have been worse than Sambisa in Borno of North East. He has waged a selfless war against the dare devils. Even when he lost his palacious country home to their vicious attack but burning it down, he wasn't deterred. Instead, he committed more to the fight while others are cunningly playing to the gallery and playing politics with the issue

We didn't forget how even Peter Obi was not able to campaign in the South East on any Monday all through the 2023 campaign period owing to the fear of these dare devils while on the other hand, the Enugu state government encourages the locking up of shops on Mondays as its own approach to safe guarding its citizens. Laughable though

Today, Monday 15th day of January, 2024, being the day of his second term inauguration into office, all roads across the South East lead to Owerri as his supporters, friends and well wishers are trooping into the state. From Ebonyi to Anambra. From Enugu to Abia and even beyond, Owerri is the destination as commercial buses and private vehicles are trooping into the beautiful city of Owerri in solidarity to a man who has shown that he wants freedom from criminality for his people. They have all today defied the long existed fears.

Before this day, analysts have been expressing concerns how the inauguration will hold and that if it will even hold, it will be low keyed and possibly hold inside the government house for fear of the UGM. But from what is on ground, those projections have been defied. The people have visibly risen to the occasion as rallied by Senator Hope Uzodinma through his very strong partnership with security agencies.

Now, could this mark the dreamed end of the infamous sit at home ordered and enforced by the criminal wing of IPOB? To many, it should be as it is known that nobody else can free the oppressed except the oppressed themselves. Ndi Igbo should rally themselves and build on this day to defeat the few criminal elements who have held them incommunicado for a very long time.

BREAKING: SEN. OKPEBHOLO TO WITHDRAW FROM EDO GUBER RACE

Emerging speculations have suggested that Senator Monday Okpebholo, a prominent politician in Edo state, may have dropped his ambition of running for the gubernatorial seat in the 2024 elections.

Okpebholo, who has been considered a potential candidate for the position under the APC, has reportedly shown signs of shifting his focus away from the race.

Okpebholo, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been an active player in Edo state politics for several years. However, recent activities and statements from the politician have led to speculation that he may have decided against pursuing the governorship ambition.

While Okpebholo has not made any official announcement regarding his decision, observers have noted a decline in his involvement in political activities and engagements related to the 2024 race. This has led to discussions among political circles about the potential reasons behind his alleged withdrawal.

According to a reliable source within his camp in Abuja who pleaded anonymity confirmed the speculation but noted that the Senator is only watching the tide. He further stated that his Boss will likely work for another leading contender from another Senatorial District and might instead settle for the Deputy Governorship position

Some analysts believe that Okpebholo's decision could be due to various factors, including the political landscape and the strength of other potential candidates.

As the February APC primary draws closer, it is only a matter of days before the rumours are made manifest but at same time, It is important to note that these speculations are unconfirmed, and until Okpebholo publicly addresses his alleged withdrawal, they should be considered as mere conjecture. As the political scene in Edo state evolves in the coming months, further developments and announcements from Okpebholo and other potential candidates will provide greater clarity on the 2024 governorship race.

The umbrella socio political youth group of the people of Delta North Senatorial District has called on the Nigerian Complaint Response Unit - CRU, Nigeria Police Force and the top Brass of the NDLEA to immediately arrest and prosecute all the officers of the NDLEA who allegedly killed a two years old boy in Delta state.

Below is the Press statement issued by the group in Asaba on Saturday

PRESS RELEASE

NDLEA: AYFW DEMANDS THE ARREST, PROSECUTION OF CULPRITS AND ADEQAUTE COMPENSATION TO DECEASED FAMILY

The Anioma Youth Forum Worldwide (AYF-W) vehemently condemns the shocking incident that unfolded in Okpanam, Asaba, Delta State, where a two-year-old boy, Onose, was tragically killed and another child was left hospitalized due to the reckless actions of men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The killing of young Onose and the injury inflicted upon another innocent child by the stray bullet from the barrels of NDLEA operatives during an operation to apprehend illegal drug dealers and consumers is an outrageous and deeply distressing event.

Such a blatant display of unprofessionalism, where fi****ms are handled carelessly, resulting in the loss of innocent lives, is an occurrence that has become a recurring decimal and must not be tolerated any longer.

This position has become pertinent recalling how a young man was murdered in the presence of his wife by some men of the Nigerian police force some months ago. Although the Police heirachy apprehended and promised to prosecute the culprits, no compensation was paid to the family to alleviate their inevitable suffering owing to the demise of the breadwinner of the family.

Consequently, AYF-W urgently calls upon all relevant stakeholders, particularly the top hierarchy of the NDLEA and Nigerian Police Force, to initiate a thorough investigation into this incident and ensure that justice is served for the untimely death of Onose. Moreso, the wanton disregard for safety and professional best practices demonstrated by certain operatives in Delta state demands immediate attention, as it has become an alarming and recurring pattern within law enforcement agencies across Delta state and it has to stop.

It is imperative that the NDLEA and other law enforcement agencies uphold the highest standards of professionalism and adhere strictly to international best practices in combating crimes as we believe and strongly so too that it is better to allow a fleeing criminal to escape than cutting short the lives of our people in an attempt to apprehend criminals.

AYF-W extends its deepest condolences to the bereaved family, whose lives have been shattered by this unimaginable tragedy. We stand in solidarity with them during this difficult time, and we will spare no effort in advocating for justice via prosecution of the killer officers and ensuring adequate compensation.

We urge government at all levels, civil society organizations, to join forces in addressing this pressing issue and ensure that the safety and well-being of every Nigerian citizen, particularly the most vulnerable among us, are guaranteed

Signed:
Comr. Ekwukwo Elvis
National Publicity Secretary
