In the ever-evolving theatre of Nigerian politics—where influence rises and falls with shifting alliances—some figures imprint themselves so deeply on the political consciousness of their people that their absence creates a vacuum. For the people of Oshimili North and the entire Anioma nation, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi stands as one such figure: experienced, daring, strategic, and undeniably pivotal. Born and raised in the cultural heartbeat of Delta North, Nwaoboshi’s political journey has been defined not by luck but by a rare combination of courage, discipline, grassroots loyalty, and legislative mastery. His rise to national prominence is a story that continues to inspire political observers and ordinary citizens alike. Nwaoboshi’s entry into the Nigerian Senate was nothing short of extraordinary. Against significant political odds—contesting as a first-timer from the opposition—he secured victory and stunned political pundits who had dismissed his chances. His triumph quickly evolve...

DECLARATION OF NATIONWIDE SECURITY EMERGENCY & RECRUITMENT OF ADDITIONAL ARMY AND POLICE PERSONNEL Fellow Nigerians,   Today, in view of the emerging security situation, I have decided to declare a nationwide security emergency and order additional recruitment into the Armed Forces. By this declaration, the police and the army are authorised to recruit more personnel. The police will recruit an additional 20,000 officers, bringing the total to 50,000. Although I had previously approved the nationwide upgrade of police training facilities, the police authorities are, by this statement, authorised to use various National Youth Service Corps camps as training depots. The officers being withdrawn from VIP guard duties should undergo crash training to debrief them and deliver more efficient police services when deployed to security-challenged areas of the country. The DSS also has my authority to immediately deploy all the forest guards already trained to flush out the terrorists an...

ADC TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: YOU CANNOT FIGHT INSURGENCY BY DOING DEALS WITH BANDITS 1. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) rejoices with the families and communities whose loved ones have been rescued from the recent wave of kidnappings across the country, including the worshippers abducted from Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Oke-Isegun, Eruku, Kwara State, and the schoolchildren taken from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, Kebbi State.   2. While we are delighted that these citizens can finally reunite with their families, we must reiterate our long-standing position that these abductions should never have occurred in the first place if the government were alive to its constitutional responsibilities. What the country is witnessing today is the consequence of an administration distracted by politics and behaving less like a democratic government and more like an occupying force. It is telling that it took a chastening comment from President Trump to provoke e...

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on Wednesday presented a N1.664 trillion Appropriation Bill for 2026 to the Delta State House of Assembly, with a bold 70 percent dedicated to capital expenditure, signaling an aggressive push for infrastructure expansion and socio-economic development in the 2026 fiscal year.  The presentation, held at the hallowed chamber of the Assembly Complex in Asaba, was made pursuant to Section 121 of the 1999 Constitution (as altered). Presenting the budget Christened; “Budget of Accelerating the More Agenda", Governor Oborevwori said the budget was crafted against the backdrop of an improving national economy, with Nigeria’s GDP projected to grow by 3.9% in 2026. He noted that rising oil revenues, stabilising fiscal and monetary policies, tax reforms, and renewed federal efforts in tackling insecurity have rekindled hope for economic expansion and improved living standards. The governor explained that the 2026 budget is designed to drive...

Armed attacks on schools in Nigeria has become a recurring decimal sending alarming shockwaves across the country. The scale and manner in which the attacks are carried out, and the poor response on part of the government calls for a conscientious and methodical review of the government safety and security policy/intervention plans.   During ex- President Goodluck Jonathan's administration, 276 students of Government Girls Secondary School located in Chibok town Borno State, aged 16-18 and mostly Christians, were kidnapped by the daredevil terrorist group, Boko Haram. While the nation was still grappling with the trauma of Chibok girls attack, the terrorists struck again, this time on February 19, 2018 during late Muhammadu Buhari's regime. 110 school girls, aged 11-19 years old, were kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorist group from the Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe state.   This kind of embarrassing situation which would make a Donald Trump call...

The Oromoni Family, today, remembers two beautiful souls who shaped the family’s heart. One year has passed since saying goodbye to an angel in human form Mother of the family, and four years have gone by since they lost a cherished Son. Their love still lights the days, and though grief lingers, the family finds comfort in the cherished memories they hold dear.  Though the family, is plunged into deep reflection as they mark a solemn double remembrance — the fourth anniversary of the tragic death of their son, Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, and the first anniversary of the passing of his mother, Mrs. Rosemary Oghenevwaire Sylvester Oromoni, according to family sources, the remembrance dates fall only days apart. While Sylvester Jnr, a student of Dowen College, Lekki Lagos, died on 30 November 2021 in circumstances that generated national outrage and widespread calls for justice, his mother, Mrs. Rosemary Oromoni, passed away a year ago and is being remembered today as always.  Descri...
