PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP) BURUTU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA EXECUTIVE – WHERE ARE THE POLITICIANS WITH PRINCIPLES?

“Seven Social Sins: Politics without principles,
Wealth without work, Pleasure without Conscience,
Knowledge without Character, Commerce without Morality,
Science without Humanity and Worship without Sacrifice.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi

“Having resolved issue No. 1 in favour of the Plaintiff (SAGBEGHA KOROKOROSEI), I will immediately answer issue No. 2 in the positive. And for the avoidance of doubt, the purported swearing in of the 1st defendant (OGBEIBIRI KENNETH) by the 2nd Defendant (PETER NWABOSHI) on the 1st of October, 2012 as the Chairman of the 3rd Defendant (PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY) for Burutu Local Government Area is illegal, unconstitutional and of no legal effect whatsoever and I so hold
In fact, the mere fact that the inauguration of the 1st Defendant (OGBEIBIRI KENNETH) took place on 1st October, which is a Public Holiday Nationwide and almost 7 Months after the election without cogent reason renders the swearing in a suspect and illegal.
It is also my firm view that all the Documents exhibited by the 1st Defendant (OGBEIBIRI KENNETH) are after thought and must have been doctored long after the Plaintiff (SAGBEGHA KOROKOROSEI) was duly elected as the Chairman of the 3rd defendant (PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY) for Burutu Local Government Area on the 10th March, 2012.
Finally, from the above findings, all the 5 questions posed for determination by the Plaintiff (SAGBEGHA KOROKOROSEI)   be and are answered in the affirmative and consequently, all the 11 reliefs sought by him (SAGBEGHA KOROKOROSEI) are hereby granted as Prayed.


This is the judgment of this Court. I will make no order for cost.”
~ HONOURABLE JUSTICE M. SHITU ABUBAKAR
                            JUDGE
                        05/03/2014
Extracts from the landmark Judgment.

It was Dwight David Eisenhower a Five Star General and the Thirty – fourth President of the United States who said “A people that value its privileges above Principles soon loses both”

As Politicians and as a Party we have an opportunity to show that we are indeed governed by Principles and not Privileges, it begins with doing the right thing in the Peoples Democratic Party Burutu Local Government Area Executive by Swearing in Sagbegha Korokorosei

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

Image
THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and ...

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
