Press Release
PRESS RELEASE.
Early Abandonment in
Gov. Oborevwori’s Project Allocation not Acceptable, a Quick Correction is a Panacea.
Being Text of Press Statement Issued by Egbema PDP Advocacy Group Over Apparent Neglect by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
We, members of Egbema PDP Advocacy Group, have for some time now watched certain unfolding events, particularly in the political landscape of our dear state with grave concern and disbelief. It would appear that a project into which we had fully committed ourselves, our time and our resources is springing back to cut our nose in order to spite our face.
Gentlemen of the press, we have elected to cry out to the world, through the instrumentality of your valued media, because of our agonizing experience in the hands of His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, a man who we called our own and rallied round when it mattered most, to help propel him to electoral success especially in the March 18, 2023 gubernatorial election.
Instead of accolades and commendation and, we daresay, rewards for political pragmatism and meaningful support, our people are now being turned a laughing stock, for no other reason than giving unqualified loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and for queueing massively behind its candidates in the general election that produced His Excellency Oboroweri as Governor.
“It is a matter for much lamentation that today the entire Egbema Kingdom is inundated with unveiled complaints as the people rue the lack of appointments and physical projects in Egbema Kingdom. The question on the lips of the people is what on earth we have done wrong to deserve this inconsiderate and clearly humiliating treatment from a system we contributed to establish and support”, the group said in a press statement released in Warri.
Therefore, we wish to express our displeasure with the way and manner the governor is running Delta State; as a matter of fact, we are dismayed that we, Egbema people of the state, have been completely forgotten. We have been recklessly thrown out of the bus by the Governor.
To throw some light on the matter we are agitated and sore about, please take a look at the Delta State Budget for the 2024 fiscal year. In this particular budget being implemented as we speak, there’s no single project in any of the Four Egbema Federal Wards, in Warri North Local Government Area. Unbelievable?
We wish to state categorically that what we have in the state today is a sectional budget, which does not deviate from the pattern of the appointments made so far by the state’s chief executive. Please do well to check the names of the heads of the Boards and members; you will be shocked that ex-president Buhari and the incumbent, Tinubu are learning!
Gliring nepotism Against Egbema People.
The people are regretting why they ever voted for him. He got our votes and rewarded us with so much impunity. Egbema people are never in his calculation as people in the state. But he must know that God sees his actions and justice belongs to him.
A kingdom and people whose oil money, with which he runs the state, have been completely abandoned. This is the message we are sending to him. In all the boards constituted and inaugurated so far, in the entire Ijaw population in the state, only one person made a board chairman. Nothing is permanent; his time will come and go in line with natural law.
We sincerely thank you for your patience and attention.
Signed:
Mr. Carson Tarilade, Group Chairman;
Mr. John Timiyo, Group Secretary;
Commrade Brandly Coupa, Member.

Abuja – A proposal to create 31 additional states across Nigeria is currently under consideration by the House of Representatives Committee on Constitutional Review. According to the committee, the move aims to address concerns about representation, governance, and regional development across the country.
The proposed states are distributed across various geopolitical zones, with six states suggested for the North-Central region, four for the North-East, five for the North-West, five for the South-South, and seven for the South-West. The committee has indicated that the proposal is in line with Section 8(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, which outlines the requirements for state creation.
Proposed States by Region
North-Central
1. Benue Ala (Benue)
2. Okun (Kogi)
3. Okura (Kogi)
4. Confluence (Kogi)
5. Apa-Agba (Benue South Senatorial District)
6. Apa (Benue)
7. Federal Capital Territory, Abuja (as an autonomous state)
North-East
8. Amana (Adamawa)
9. Katagum (Bauchi)
10. Savannah (Borno)
11. Muri (Taraba)
North-West
12. New Kaduna (Kaduna)
13. Gurara (Kaduna)
14. Tiga (Kano)
15. Kainji (Kebbi)
16. Ghari (Kano)
South-East
17. Etiti (New)
18. Adada (Enugu)
19. Urashi (New)
20. Orlu (Imo)
21. Aba (Abia)
South-South
22. Ogoja (Cross River)
23. Warri (Delta)
24. Bori (Rivers)
25. Obolo (Rivers & Akwa Ibom), possibly a renamed Oil Rivers State
South-West
26. Toru-Ebe (Delta, Edo & Ondo)
27. Ibadan (Oyo)
28. Lagoon (Lagos & Ogun)
29. Ibeju (Ogun)
30. Ife-Ijesha (Ogun, Oyo & Osun)
31. Oke-Ogun (Ogun, Oyo & Osun)
Constitutional Process for State Creation
The proposal will require approval through a series of legislative steps. The Nigerian Constitution stipulates that for a new state to be established, it must be supported by at least a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, the State House of Assembly, and local government councils in the affected areas. Additionally, a referendum will be conducted, with the final decision forwarded to the National Assembly for ratification.
This proposed restructuring has generated mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a step toward decentralization and regional autonomy, while others question its feasibility given Nigeria’s economic and political landscape.

INC Demands the Creation of Toru-ebe and Oil Rivers States to Address the Underdevelopment of Ijaw Nation.
By Admin – Yenagoa
Ijaw National Congress (INC), the highest socio-cultural body representing the Ijaw people globally, has renewed its call for the establishment of two homogeneous Ijaw states—Toru-Ebe and Oil Rivers—citing persistent infrastructural under-development, political marginalization, and environmental neglect.
This was disclosed during a press conference held on Wednesday at Ijaw Ware in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. The INC President, Prof. Benjamin Okaba, emphasized that despite being Nigeria’s fourth-largest ethnic group and hosting some of the country’s key oil export terminals as the single highest producer of oil and gas, the Ijaw people have endured systemic neglect, both in infrastructure and politics.
“We call on the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and all distinguished members of the National Assembly to seize this moment in history and act in the interest of justice,” Prof. Okaba stated.
He described this demand as a crucial step toward achieving justice, equity, and lasting peace in the Niger Delta, stressing that it would help redress historical injustices, drive economic progress, and secure a better future for the Ijaw people.
According to the INC, the creation of the proposed states would not only address issues of political exclusion and under-development, but also strengthen national unity. The organization urged all Ijaw people, along with other well-meaning Nigerians, to support the move towards the actualization of this critical milestone for fairness and equity.
