DR. ADAGBABIRI - AN EXEMPLARY POLITICIAN




DR. ADAGBABIRI MAGNANIMOUS IN DEFEAT

“I think we all have a selfish gene

which rises to the top sometimes.

But then we are also all capable

of a sudden magnanimity.”

~ Jim Broadbent

One of the Chairmanship Aspirants under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Burutu Local Government Area in the forth coming Local Government Elections in Delta State had been magnanimous in defeat, congratulating the Party’s flag bearer Chief Ebikeme Clark and commending the fatherly role played by the Governor of the State His Excellency Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan (CON).

Dr. Adagbabiri who holds a Ph.D in Public Administration from the University of Ekpoma retired as a Deputy Director of Administration from the Delta State Local Government Civil Service after 35 years of Meritorious Grassroots Service, Prayed God to grant His Excellency More wisdom for him to continue with his visionary services to the people of the State and Humanity in General, urging Deltans to rally round the Governor for him to finish strong.

Dr. Adagbabiri’s unblemished and distinguished years of Service saw him serve as either Acting or Head of Personnel Management/Secretary or as Head of Personnel Management in SAPELE, IKA NORTH EAST, ETHIOPE WEST, BOMADI, ISOKO NORTH, NDOKWA WEST, ISOKO SOUTH, OKPE, ANIOCHA and twice in BURUTU Local Government Areas of the State described Chief Ebikeme Clark as his beloved younger brother from the same Kiagbodo Community, the same ward 8 in the Council Area asserting that "Papa Clark is our Father and our National Leader."

Dr. Adagbabiri who was Acting Chairman of Ndokwa West Local Government from Dec. 2003 – April 2004; Burutu Local Government Area April – Oct. 2007 and again Burutu Local Government Area May 2011 – Nov. 2012 with several projects to show in all Council Areas believes that if two brothers are vying for a position, it takes a caring father to intervene and that was what His Excellency did in the Burutu LGA Chairmanship tussle, expressing deep appreciation to the Governor and the Leadership of the Party in the Council Area for their intervention.

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were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made.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...
