RE: {NTH:28485} 2015 is not over until it is over

[Sylvester Ogbolu-Otutu]

Thank you Chief Abel Emah-Iyasele for your presentation. This is what leadership is about: an action plan and road map to urgently arrest a situation, which if left unchecked will otherwise quickly deteriorate.

We have got this, Chief. 

What you have outlined is indeed feasible, and the work can start immediately whilst others come on board gradually. The window of opportunity is closing fast, so there is no time to lose.

We have to agree on a list of signatories that is quite representative of a Pan-Ndokwa Coalition. The NNU, supported by the UFU and NDU, plus a host of other groups including Ndokwa Global Community Forum plus the Multi-Stakeholders Consultative Forum; the Ndokwa United Congress, plus other youth bodies. whilst it is recognized that there are more prospective governorship candidates within the PDP, this effort will not be carried out on a party basis. The known PDP governorship hopefuls - namely: Chief Godswill Obielum, Chief Johnson Ossai Opone, Chief Dr. (Mrs.) Esther Uduehi, Chief Uwaka, Chief (Comm.) Charles Emetulu; and Chief Fidelis Okenmor Tilije of the APC will all be mentioned in the write-up.

Funding the advertorial should not presently rely on expected contributions from the Web Forum members because this could take time in realizing the anticipated budget. Therefore, I wish to suggest as follows:

1) I believe we still have the sum of about N103K in escrow with the Ukwuani Foundation Union (UFU) remaining as the unspent balance from the last appeal for the Ndokwa Flood Victims. We had suggested that those funds should be transferred to the NNU, but I am not sure if that was ever done. Perhaps Chief Godwin Onwusa can help us clarify.  

2) If the N103K  is still available, then this should be immediately availed for the present purpose. 

3) If a full page advertorial in a national daily is about N400K (this can to be confirmed today by calling newspaper houses); then the short-fall that needs to be covered would be between N300K  - N350K. 

4) About N60K or so will be required for DHLing the letter to the office of the President, the PDP National Chairman, the Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Delta State Governor, and the PDP Delta State PDP Chairman.

4) This short-fall, estimated at about N410K can be covered from some of the prospective gubernatorial candidates plus some contributions from the UFU and the NDU.

5) The draft document would be ready for circulation and input within the next 24 hours.

6) We should expect to go to press latest by Tuesday, so that the publication can be made say by Wednesday.

7) We can commence immediate behind the scenes consultations with other stakeholders to enable us gather support for this initiative.

Thank you.

Osa Umu Ikum

Ajieh Ajieh nio.

I am not a fortune teller but to some extent my predictions on certain political developments in our state have come to pass.

As a Secretary-General of UFU then, I knew Prof B.I.C. Ijoma was economical with the truth and, indeed,  misleading unsuspecting Ukwuani and Ndosunmili people when he asked us in UFU AGM to forget 2011 and exercise patience as the power brokers in the state/Abuja had agreed to safeguard 2015 for our candidate (Obielum).  I have the video.

I knew but kept quiet when our father and brother, Gen Alabi-Isama, though a military strategist, missed it all out this time around when he re-echoed Prof Ijomah's advice in another UFU function, insisting it was wrong for that young chap (FCT) to oppose the Prof openly in UFU AGM as the Prof's advice carried a lot of weight as an insider within the power block.

I knew we had actually run into a problem when, unexpectedly, Paparrazis flooded the tabloids with scenes/pictures of Dr. Uduaghan partying and wining at Ushie in  the country home of our flag bearer, Chief Godswill Obielum, at her daughter's wedding. When I shouted from the roof top, I was admonished that politics had no permanent enemy and that it was party of 2015 calculations!

I knew, we had finally lost focus, when a white elephant project i.e. Ushie - Ashaka road/Aboh Polytechnics contracts were hurriedly awarded

I knew something was wrong somewhere, and was forced to ask our governorship aspirants (through this medium) to address Ndokwa nation now as their continued silence was no longer golden, so also the absence of  publicity on their activities  were becoming increasingly embarrassing to the nation

I knew also that it was the height of conspiracy theory when, suddenly, our father and brother, Gen Alabi-Isama, who is still learning and understanding the culture and tradition of our people, was made the President of Anioma - a group made up of the Ukwuani, Enuani and Ika people.

However, despite the above, I am still optimistic that the battle to Osadebe house is not yet concluded and must be fought on a do or die basis this time around.  

To enable us win this fight, we must close ranks now and work together to let other Anioma group know that we are the senior partner when it comes to issues concerning Delta North - reasons being that we have the population and economic power.

As a first step, I will appeal to our Team Leader, Mr. Sylvester Ogbolu-Otutu to make another sacrifice to Ndokwa nation once again by assisting us with people he  can work with to:

1.  Collate the names/credentials of at least three formidable Ndokwa aspirants in PDP with another aspirant in the opposition party with a petition to the Presidency immediately as our preferred candidates.  The petition must mention that Ndokwa, as a nation, totally rejects the Asagba's list as he had manipulated the screening exercise to disenfranchise us, even though we are the most populated ethnic and more economically viable group in the district.

2.  NNU should, as a matter of urgency, consider preparing her petition with published facts of marginalization against Ndokwa to the Presidency and insist on why Ndokwa person is most suitable for Osadebey's house come 2015 - see Ndokwa Study Group release of marginalization

3.  UFU and NDU, should consider taking a fraction of the largesee of a recent political outing (if not yet returned), to insert a full page advertorial in the national dailies to publicly reject Asagba's alleged list to the Presidency with reasons/facts why Ndokwa should be given the opportunity to occupy Osadebey's house in 2015.  They should also be a threat to reconsider our political alliance with the ruling party if our petition is not favourably considered

4.  Members of the webgroup must close ranks, and consider raising a fund through agreed dedicated account, to support our youths' logistics to carry out placards to PDP's headquarters in Asaba and Abuja to protest the role of Asagba of Asaba on the alleged list submitted to the Presidency

5.  General Godwin Odolane Alabi-Isama should consider resigning as the President of Anioma Group in protest of the Asagba's unfatherly role in the alleged list to the Presidency. All Ndokwa members of the group should stop attending their meeting in protest

6.  NNU should direct all Onotu Ukus/Ezes in Ndokwa not to honour any meeting convened by the Asagba of Asaba.

7.  NNU should please, as a matter of urgency, cause a letter to be written to all Ndokwa key politicians and political office holders to support this protest with a warning to declare anyone found to be working against our collective desire as a persona non grata.

To me, 2015 is not over until it is over.

Sylvo/All,

Thank you very much for accepting the challenges presented by the recent ugly political developments in our state.

Kindly reach out to Bros Okei Okusogu and Barr. Theo Ogune and other people you may wish to include,  to assist in drafting the petition.  

The draft should be ready by Monday in the worst case scenario, with names of signatories to reflect the three LGs.  Co-opted signatories should be given option to decline within a specified number of hours, failing which they would be assumed to have consented to sign.

Meanwhile, work out a budget that will include 2 publications in Vanguard/Guardian Newspapers plus cost of DHL and we can reach out to all the aspirants and some HNIs to part finance the budget.  For your information, cost of full black & white advert is in the region of N450 - N500k.  

The letter to the Presidency should be on the Multi-Stakeholders computer-generated letter-heading (earlier used) and must go through DHL on or before Tuesday, 21st October, 2014 to all recipients.

Thank you.

Abel O. Emah-Iyesele
