Defection: PDP Slams Ex-Secretary Over 'Ungrateful' Remarks

By: Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

The PDP Ese-Odo Local Government Council has reacted strongly to a statement by former Arogbo Ward 2 Secretary, Icon James Tam, who referred to the party as a 'cadaver and carcass.' The party described Tam's remarks as 'desperate' and 'ungrateful,' noting that his exit doesn't affect the PDP.

In a statement signed by Comrade Ezekiel Ugouwoni, Publicity Secretary of PDP Ese-Odo, the party demands an unreserved apology from Tam for his 'reckless' statement. The statement also notes that the party has appointed Comrade Perewei Richard Ifah as the new Arogbo Ward 2 Secretary.

Read the full text of the statement below

Party Exit is Part Of The Game But Ungrateful Approach is Bad.

The attention of the people's democratic party particularly ese-odo local government has been drawn to a statement issued by Icon James Tam,former Secretary PDP Arogbo Ward 2, referring to the PDP as "Cadaver and Carcass" only shows his level of desperation to join the ruling party.

The people's democratic party is not affected by your exit but expected you to send a well articulated appreciation messages to a party that has mould you for leadership position.

Others have exited the party with some sense of remorse by initiating appreciation to the party for allowing them play leadership roles when nature threw opportunity at them.

Referring to the PDP as a "Dead body and Co**se" in your press release won't grant you the needed credit in the ruling party where you are seeking membership.

As a party,we demand you send an unreserved apology for the recklessness displayed at your very recent publication.

And again,the people's democratic party has received your resignation letter and the leadership of PDP Arogbo Ward 2 has equally acted on your replacement with Comrade.Perewei Richard Ifah.

The PDP Ese-odo is united to defeat all candidates of the ruling All Progressive Congress in the next general elections.

Best regards,
Ezekiel Ugowonni
Publicity Secretary

Still on A Legacy of Integrity: Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters Honours Barr. Lubi Ebikenamini Luminary's Life and Achievements On His Special Natal

By Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

In a glowing tribute befitting his towering character, Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters today celebrates a man whose intellect, courage, and faith have become synonymous with integrity and impact; Barrister Lubi Ebikenamini, fondly known across the Arogbo Kingdom and within the Zion Ministry Worldwide as “Luminary.”

A distinguished legal practitioner, impassioned teacher, and indefatigable advocate for justice, Barr. Luminary has blazed an indelible trail across both the legal and spiritual landscapes of the Ijaw nation. His unflinching voice in defence of fairness and equity has marked him as one of Arogbo’s most audacious sons; a man whose convictions are anchored on truth, discipline, and divine purpose.

Within the revered corridors of the Zion Ministry Worldwide, Barr. Luminary’s resonant voice has long commanded both reverence and authority. His linguistic prowess and seamless transition between English and Izon have earned him the distinguished title of “Zion Interpreter to the King of Zion.” To many within the ministry, his presence behind the pulpit embodies spiritual depth, intellectual eloquence, and divine wisdom.

Beyond the ministry, Luminary’s influence extends into knowledge economy where he serves as a Senior Lecturer at the Zion Theological Seminary, Bolowou National Headquarters (Int’l INC). There, he continues to shape minds and guide emerging leaders with a rare blend of legal brilliance and spiritual insight.

Described by colleagues as “a relentless defender of justice and a shining symbol of the Arogbo Ijaw spirit,” Barr. Luminary’s voice echoes far beyond his homeland; a voice of principle, conviction, and purpose.

As he adds another year to his illustrious journey, Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters salutes this extraordinary Son of Zion; a beacon of light in law, a custodian of truth in ministry, and a symbol of enduring excellence for generations to come.

National Assembly Sets Stage for Creation of New Vocational Institutes Nationwide

By; Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

Abuja, the House of Representatives Committee on Alternative Education has announced a one-day public hearing and submission of memoranda on four bills seeking the establishment of new vocational and entrepreneurial institutions across the country.

Among the bills slated for consideration is the “Bill for the Establishment of the National Institute for Vocational and Entrepreneurial Studies, Agadagba-Obon, Arogbo, Ese-Odo Local Government Area, Ondo State, and for Related Matters (HB.2023)”, sponsored by Hon. Donald Kimikanboh Ojogo, who represents Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

The hearing, scheduled for Monday, October 13, 2025, will hold at Conference Room 028, House of Representatives New Building, National Assembly Complex, Abuja. It will be presided over by the Chairman, House Committee on Alternative Education, Hon. Ibrahim Almustapha Aliyu.

Other bills listed for public hearing include:

A Bill for the Establishment of the South East Institute for Vocational and Entrepreneurial Studies, Umuobum, and for Related Matters (HB.2263), sponsored by Hon. Ikeagwuonu Onyinye O.

A Bill for the Establishment of the Federal Institute of Technical Education and Skill Acquisition, Mbaise, Imo State, and for Related Matters (HB.2342), sponsored by Hon. Emeka Chinedu Martins.

A Bill for the Establishment of the Federal College of Entrepreneurship and Skill Acquisition, Ilorin West, Kwara State, and for Related Matters (HB.554), sponsored by Hon. Murkat Tolani.

While all four bills seek to strengthen Nigeria’s alternative education system and promote skill-based learning, Hon. Ojogo’s proposal (HB.2023) has drawn particular attention from stakeholders in Ondo State, given its potential impact on the socio-economic development of the coastal region.

According to Ojogo, the bill seeks to “institutionalize skill acquisition and entrepreneurship training that empowers young Nigerians, particularly those from riverine and underserved communities, to thrive in a competitive economy.”

He added that the proposed National Institute for Vocational and Entrepreneurial Studies, Agadagba-Obon, would serve as a national hub for technical innovation, maritime training, and enterprise development — aligning with Nigeria’s broader drive toward diversification and youth empowerment.

Education stakeholders and community leaders from Ilaje and Ese-Odo have welcomed the initiative, describing it as “a strategic intervention that will provide sustainable pathways for employment and industrial growth in the Niger Delta.”

Analysts note that the forthcoming hearing underscores the House’s renewed attention to vocational education as a tool for economic empowerment, while further cementing Hon. Ojogo’s reputation as a result-oriented legislator whose interventions consistently reflect the needs of his constituency.

The public hearing is open to the general public and relevant institutions willing to make contributions through written or oral memoranda.

A CALL FOR CALM AND PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE IN IKOKOTORU COMMUNITIES AND ADOLOSEIMO COMMUNITIES.

The rift between our bordering communities, IKOKOTORU Communities of Warri North LGA of Delta State and ADOLOSEIMO Communities of Ese Odo LGA of Ondo, has called for a serious concern.

As Ijaws, we have lived together as brothers for over decades without crisis everywhere we find ourselves, and it is that brotherly spirit that has kept us Strong and Victorious even in times of trouble.

Tolling the path of slaughtering ourselves as a result of dispute amongst ourselves is totally condemnable and must be stopped immediately.

I personally condemn the callous manslaughter that has happened between these communities, thereby leading to lost of lives of young and promising youths from both ends.

I commiserate with the families of the victims of this dastardly act that has cut short the promising future of our brothers.

On this note, I am calling on the Commissioner of Police Delta State, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi, DPO Koko division, Csp luckman Olaogun and Commissioner Of police Ondo State, CP Adebowale Lawal, and the DPO Arogbo Police Post, Chairman Warri North LGA and Chairman Ese Odo LGA and other security agencies within the region to rise to the occasion and maintain the peace we have enjoyed over the years.

I also extend my appeal to our traditional rulers of both Egbema and Arogbo Kingdom, to work together towards a lasting and peaceful resolution to this violence that has been unleashed. There must be respect for the sanctity of human life and a mutual co-existence.

It is my prayer that the families whose loved ones has been lost be comforted, from both the Arogbo Kingdom and Egbema Kingdom respectively.

I urge the groups involved in the conflict to immediately cease hostility, and refrain from further attack on innocent people, especially youths who are the leaders of tomorrow.

We must learn to resolve our differences peacefully without the use of violence or taking up of arms against ourselves, we are all we've got.

May peace be restored in our Kingdoms.

Amb Egelu Edise-emi Bright.
Acting National Secretary.
IYC Worldwide.

The Prophet Has Landed: Ajakurama Quakes as Fufeyin Declares God’s Invasion”

By:Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

The riverine Ajakurama community in Egbema Kingdom erupted in scenes of jubilation and awe as Senior Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, the dynamic Founder and General Overseer of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, arrived in majestic style for the epoch-making Egbema Invasion Crusade, alongside the fiery revivalist Prophet Ebimobowei Bigman.

The atmosphere was charged with divine energy as thousands of residents, worshippers, and pilgrims thronged the community to welcome the revered prophet whose coming has been widely described as “a divine visitation and a new dawn for Egbema.”

From the waterfronts to the village square, chants of praise and victory rent the air as the Mercy City prophet stepped onto Egbema soil, declaring, “This is God’s time to visit His people with power, healing, and deliverance!”

The crusade, already hailed as one of the most anticipated spiritual events in the region, promises nights of intense prophetic outpouring, miracle encounters, and soul-lifting ministrations aimed at breaking ancient barriers and igniting total revival across the kingdom.

Welcoming Prophet Fufeyin, leading members of the Egbema Traditional Council of Chiefs, including High Chief Promise Lawuru (Ozigizaga I) and Chief General Dio Tanga, described his arrival as “a rare privilege and a divine wind of restoration.”

High Chief Lawuru noted, “Egbema has waited for a day like this; a day when God would send a prophet to awaken our land. We are grateful that the Lord has remembered His people through Prophet Fufeyin.”

As night fell, the community was drenched in prayer, worship, and prophetic declarations, with testimonies already emerging of instant healing and deliverance.

For many, the Egbema Invasion Crusade marks not just a revival but the rebirth of hope and spiritual transformation in a land long yearning for divine visitation.

Indeed, Ajakurama and the entire Egbema Kingdom now stand as witnesses to what many have called “a season of fire, power, and divine turnaround.”

Education as a Weapon for Peace: Dr. Otuaro, PAP Boss, Hosts Western Delta University VC in Strategic Reintegration Talks

By: Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

In a bold assertion of his commitment to human capital development, the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, on Friday, received in audience the Vice-Chancellor of Western Delta University (WDU), Oghara, Prof. Augustine Ikelegbe, in Abuja.

The high-level meeting, described as strategic and forward-driving, focused on deepening the educational partnership between the Amnesty Programme and the University, which is an alliance central to reshaping the destinies of ex-agitators and consolidating peace across the Niger Delta.

Dr. Otuaro, known for his pragmatic and dynamic stewardship, used the occasion to reiterate the Programme’s unwavering resolve to sustain education as the heartbeat of reintegration and empowerment.

“The Amnesty Programme is not just about disarmament but it’s about transforming lives through knowledge and skill. Education remains our strongest weapon in securing peace, dignity, and productivity in the Niger Delta,” Otuaro declared with conviction.

Prof. Ikelegbe, in his remarks, extolled Dr. Otuaro’s “ result-oriented leadership and renewed direction”, noting that the Programme had regained vitality and purpose under his stewardship. He pledged WDU’s continued collaboration, assuring that the university remains a steadfast partner in nurturing disciplined and productive graduates from the PAP initiative.

The meeting, observers noted, goes beyond ceremonial engagement by representing a recalibration of vision and purpose for the Presidential Amnesty Programme, anchoring it firmly on the pillars of education, discipline, and self-reliance.

Under Dr. Otuaro’s leadership, the PAP continues to evolve from a peacekeeping intervention into a transformative force for regional development, empowering thousands of young men and women to become agents of change rather than relics of conflict.

“We are not just training individuals,” Dr. Otuaro emphasized, “we are rebuilding communities, rewriting the story of the Niger Delta, and redefining what true peace means.”

The session underscores a new chapter in PAP’s partnership with academic institutions, one rooted in shared vision, renewed determination, and the unshakable belief that education remains the true foundation of enduring peace and prosperity in the Niger Delta.

Press Statement: Adoloseimo II Slams 'Fake News' Amid Claims of Killing in Forest — Demands Probe

By: Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

Adoloseimo II Community in Ese-Odo Local Government Area, Ondo State, has categorically denied the false allegations of attacking and killing a man from Kokotoru in the forest.

In a press statement made available to our correspondent, they emphasise being peace-loving and law-abiding citizens with awesome good neighbourly relations with surrounding communities in the Niger Delta region.

Before now, the Adoloseimo II community itself suffered a gruesome aťťack allegedly from Kokotoru in August 2025 resulting in loss of lives and multiple 1njūřies; with three persons sustaining gunshot wounds and currently receiving medical treatment; and one person, Mr. Abeke Okiriji, found dę@ð later while another, Mr. Edis Tonwerigha, remains missing.

They are therefore calling for a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation by Nigerian security agencies to clear their name.

Adoloseimo II remains deeply committed to peace unity, and coexistence; urging the public to disregard any fabricated reports intended to tarnish their community’s awesome reputation in Ondo State.

Read the full text of the press statement below:

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: October 9, 2025

Adoloseimo II Community Denounces False Allegations Circulating on Social Media

The attention of the people of Adoloseimo II Community has been drawn to a malicious and mislęaðing r3port circulating on social media, falsely alleging that members of our community attacked and k!lled a man from Kokotoru in the forest.

We wish to state categorically that this allegation is entirely false, unfounded, and misleading. The people of Adoloseimo II are peace-loving and law-abiding citizens who have consistently maintained cordial and respectful relationships with all neighboring communities. At no time has our community engaged in any act of violence or aggression against Kokotoru or any other settlement.

It is important to note that on Tuesday, August 18, 2025, Adoloseimo II suffered a tragic attack carried out by individuals from Kokotoru, which resulted in the loss of lives and multiple injuries. Three persons sustained gunshot wounds and are currently receiving medical treatment. Two were declared missing and Of the two individuals initially declared m!ssing, Mr. Abeke Okiriji was later found d3ad on August 22, 2025, while Mr. Edis Tonwerigha remains missing to date.

Upon careful review of the images of the deceased person being circulated online, there are clear indications that the deceased may have received medical attention prior to death. This raises serious concerns about the authenticity of the claims being used to implicate our community. Furthermore, close observation of the body reveals no visible cut wounds, contradicting the violent narrative being promoted in the circulated images.

We strongly condemn any attempt by individuals or groups from Kokotoru or elsewhere to exploit this unfortunate situation as a cover-up or to maliciously blackmail the people of Adoloseimo II Community.

We therefore call on the Nigerian security agencies and all relevant authorities to launch a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into this matter. Uncovering the truth is essential to preventing the spread of misinformation capable of inciting unnecessary tension between our peaceful communities.

The people of Adoloseimo II remain committed to peace, unity, justice, and mutual coexistence, and we urge the general public to disregard any fabricated reports intended to tarnish our community’s reputation or disrupt harmony in the area.

Chief Kowei Kurokokongha D.

ICON-JAMES TAM DUMPS PDP, DESCRIBES PARTY AS A “POLITICAL CADAVER”

By: Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

In a bold and emotionally charged resignation letter dated October 1, 2025, addressed to the Ward Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Arogbo Ward II, Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Icon-James Tam announced his immediate withdrawal from the party, describing it as “a political cadaver” that has lost its vitality and moral compass.

Tam, who recently suffered the tragic loss of his wife and son during childbirth, stated that his decision was made with deep conviction and in honour of the values he and his late wife shared. He lamented that the PDP, once a formidable political force, has “degenerated into a hollow carcass of its former self,” plagued by “interminable crises and flawed congresses.”

Below is the full statement as obtained by Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters:

PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP)
1st October, 2025.

To,
The Ward Chairman,
PDP Arogbo Ward II,
Ese-Odo LGA, Ondo State.

I Quit: PDP—Now a Political Cadaver.

I write to tender, with immediate effect, my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

This resolution, though taken in the midst of my personal bereavement over the tragic loss of my wife and son during childbirth, is one I believe she would endorse even in the celestial realms, for she had always been a steadfast partner in my political choices.

The PDP, in my considered judgment, has degenerated into a hollow carcass of its former self. As once poignantly described by a former ondo State Publicity Secretary when he bowed out that the party was languishing in the Intensive Care Unit, inching towards the morgue. His assertion was no hyperbole; today, the party has indeed been wheeled into the morgue, politically lifeless, and no longer a viable refuge for any budding visionary desirous of genuine public service. The interminable internecine crises and the charade of flawed congresses have further ossified its demise, particularly at Ese-odo and at the national echelon.

On this premise, I renounce my membership and shall henceforth scout for a sturdier, more formidable platform upon which to actualize my aspiration of rendering consequential governance to our people. In due course, I shall unveil my next political voyage.

Permit me, however, to express profound gratitude for the opportunities availed me under the PDP banner. The experiences, exposures, and networks garnered remain indelible. My stewardship spanned,

1. Member, Media & Publicity Committee, Ondo 2024 Gubernatorial Campaign Council

2. Secretary, PDP Arogbo Ward II

3. Presiding Officer, PDP Delegate Congress for Ondo 2024 Gubernatorial Election

4. Delegate, Ondo 2020 PDP Gubernatorial Primary.

I wish the party well in its future political trial.

Thanks!

Signed,
Icon-James Tam.

PANDEF demands federal action on Niger Delta infrastructure, immortalisation of late IGP Arase

By: Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has urged the Federal Government to honour the late former Inspector-General of Police, Dr. Solomon Arase, by naming a major national monument after him in recognition of his role in promoting unity and development in Nigeria.

The appeal was part of the resolutions adopted at PANDEF’s enlarged National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Benin City on October 4, 2025. The session was chaired by the group’s National Chairman, Ambassador Godknows Igali, OON, with the Edo State Chairman, Prof. Alfred Ehigiegba, and representatives from Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers States also present.

In its communiqué, the forum commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and other political leaders for their roles in safeguarding democratic governance in Rivers State.

At the same time, PANDEF expressed serious concern over the poor state of critical federal infrastructure across the Niger Delta. It pointed out the worsening condition of the East-West Road—especially the Benin-Warri axis—as well as the Benin-Auchi and Calabar-Itu highways.

The group also criticised the neglect of the Ujevwu-Itakpe railway line in Delta and Kogi States, contrasting it with the swift rehabilitation of the Abuja-Kaduna rail line that broke down around the same time.

Furthermore, PANDEF called for the reopening and full revitalisation of seaports in the South-South, including those in Calabar, Port Harcourt, Warri, Sapele, Burutu, and Koko. The forum stressed that functional ports would boost trade, create jobs, and improve living standards in the region.

The communiqué was signed by Ambassador Godknows Igali (National Chairman), Prof. Alfred Ehigiegba (Edo State Chairman), and Chief Dr. Obiuwevbi Ominimini (National Publicity Secretary).

Ondo council chair distributes learning materials to 5,000 students

By: Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters

Over 5,000 secondary school students in Akoko North East Local Government Area of Ondo State have received free educational materials distributed by the council chairman, Mohammed Mutiu.

Speaking at the weekend during the exercise, Mutiu explained that the programme was aimed at enhancing learning and improving students’ academic performance, stressing his administration’s commitment to supporting education in the area.

He noted that investing in young people secures not only their future but also contributes to the progress of the community, state, and country.

Schools that benefitted include Agboriki Comprehensive High School, College Ikare Secondary School, AUD Secondary School, Osele Comprehensive High School, Comprehensive Secondary School Ikare, and Ise Akoko High School.

According to the chairman, the distributed items included textbooks, exercise books, and writing materials, with plans for additional initiatives to ensure that every child has access to quality education.

Mutiu also urged parents and guardians to encourage discipline and a strong reading culture among their wards, while reassuring that education would remain a top priority of his administration. He added that work would soon begin on renovating dilapidated classrooms and improving school facilities to provide a better learning environment.

“Education is the strongest weapon against poverty and insecurity, which is why all stakeholders must support efforts to strengthen the sector,” he stated.

The initiative also had the backing of Eduminds Africa, a group that promotes education and climate change awareness.

Its founder, Miss Motunrayo Oyedele, said the effort was meant to make schooling more attractive to children while easing financial pressures on parents.

Teachers and students welcomed the gesture, describing it as timely support for families struggling with current economic challenges.
