OMO-AGEGE: A Pillar Of Constitutional Rectitude In Delta APC

Admin

  By Pince Efe Duku   All political systems experience conflicts and contestations for their control. By the rational choice theory and as dissected in Gareth Morgan’s seminal work, ‘Interests, Conflict, and Power: Organizations as Political Systems’, these conflicts are sometimes mild or fierce depending on the interests driving them. Anyhow they come, truly democratic leaders resolve conflicts based on settled rules of law to protect the interests of the people as the ultimate source of political power.

Admin

Colonialism, which held the continent down for over a century, was calibrated as the opposite of freedom. The people fought thinking that they were fighting for freedom in the course of the anti-colonial struggle. The thinking that gave the struggle the impetus that routed imperialism was anchored on Kwame Nkrumah’s admonition that…

Admin

By Zik Gbemre   Should President Bola Ahmed Tinubu allow the oil rich River state to burn to ashes before acting? No. A solution must be reached to calm nerves.

He enjoyed the political game when Nyesom Wike catapulted him to become Accountant General and then imposed him on PDP to grab the governorship ticket even when he was not a card carrying member of PDP. The devil will not gift…

UGHELLI NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILLORS NEED THE SUPPORT OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS

Admin

  By Jeckins Ejiro Wisike   The suppression of entitlements and benefits of the Ughelli North Local Government Council Legislature Arm by the Executive is a clear violation of democratic principles and a blatant disregard for constitutional responsibilities. The denial of operational vehicles to the elected Councillors—who represent the people—undermines their ability to effectively perform their legislative duties. It is unjust and undemocratic for the Executive Arm to withhold these entitlements, which are essential for the proper functioning of the Local Government system. The separation of powers is a cornerstone…
