Distinguished Rivers statesman and renowned oil industry mogul, Opuda, Alabo Dumo Lulu-Briggs, has showered encomiums on Nigeria's former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, as he celebrates his 68th birthday on Thursday, November 20, 2025.

Chief Lulu-Briggs, who is the Iniikeiroari (VI) of Kalabari Kingdom, Paramount Head of Oruwari-Briggs War-Canoe Houses of Abonnema and Chairman, Platform Petroleum Limited, took to his verified social media handles to extoll the former Nigerian President, describing him amongst other things, as a leader "whose calm strength steadied our nation in trying moments, and whose democratic ethos remains a benchmark for leadership in Africa".

The congratulatory message, which was signed personally by Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs reads:

Happy 68th Birthday, Your Excellency Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR.

Today, I join millions of admirers across our nation and beyond to celebrate a statesman whose life continues to illuminate the path of Nigeria’s democratic journey. To know you, Your Excellency, is to encounter humility wrapped in wisdom, courage anchored in peace, and leadership defined by an uncommon reverence for the Nigerian people.

I celebrate you not only as a former President, but as a man whose convictions strengthened our institutions, whose calm strength steadied our nation in trying moments, and whose democratic ethos remains a benchmark for leadership in Africa. Your decision-making, your restraint, and your belief that no ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian have become guiding lights for our collective future.

I have had the privilege of working with you in various capacities, and each experience deepened my respect for your depth of thought, your love for country, and your unwavering commitment to service. Your exemplary leadership, marked by tolerance, inclusiveness, and statesmanship, continues to inspire my own dedication to the ideals of justice, fairness, and nation-building.

As you mark 68 years of grace, may God continue to strengthen you with wisdom, health, and peace. May your legacy of gentle but firm leadership endure as a testament that power is best wielded with compassion, and that greatness is measured by the lives touched, not the titles held.

Your Excellency, thank you for your enduring contributions to our democracy and for the honour of your friendship and guidance. Nigeria remains better because you answered the call to serve.

Happy Birthday, Sir

Opuda, Alabo Dumo Lulu-Briggs
Iniikeiroari (VI) of Kalabari Kingdom,
Paramount Head of Oruwari-Briggs War-Canoe Houses of Abonnema,
Chairman, Platform Petroleum Limited.

Former Delta Governor, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, and immediate past Deputy Senate President, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege are reportedly enmeshed in a Titanic battle for the control of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. The battle, which has snowballed into a cold war, has reportedly polarized the APC into factions, with each of the two gladiators insisting that the leadership of the party belongs to each of them. Findings revealed that the state chairman of the party, Chief Omeni Sobotie, reportedly suffering from an unknown ailment, has been dragged into the tussle, with Ibori and Omo-Agege demanding loyalty from the chairman. Sources claim that the battle for the control of party became intense after Ibori's daughter and member representing Ethiope federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Ehriatake Ibori-Suenu decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently. Although Omo-Agege was in Oghara, headquarters of Ethiope West Local Government of De...

Delta State Government has commenced construction of access road to the proposed Asaba waterfront city in the state capital.  Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who disclosed this during the inspection of the project on Tuesday, said the project was conceived by the previous administration through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) Model.  He said the state government’s role was to construct a 6-lane access road to the new city, while the developers were expected to reclaim the land and develop the city.  He said: "Asaba is becoming very attractive to property developers who are coming from Lagos to Asaba because Asaba today is housing most of those people from the South-East.  "They are coming here because they find Asaba very comfortable and they know that we are also hospitable.  "The Asaba waterfront city project is a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement between the state government and the developers.  "Our obligation is to reclaim the place to give ...
