  • The NDC criticizes the Delta State Government’s N275 billion approval for 76 projects, calling it mediocre and insufficient.

  • They argue that Delta State’s economic struggles, including unemployment and poor infrastructure, show that the government is failing to meet the needs of its people.

  • The opposition group demands a government that aims for greater accomplishments and strategic investments to ensure the state’s long-term growth and sustainability.

The recent approval of N275 billion for 76 projects by the Delta State Government has faced heavy criticism from the New Delta Coalition (NDC), which argued that these projects, celebrated by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration as “history-making,” are simply the minimum expectations of a functional government.

The NDC expressed its dissatisfaction with the government’s achievements, questioning the focus on these projects amidst the state’s persistent economic struggles.

In a statement signed by Godwin Anaughe, the NDC raised concerns over the state’s high unemployment rates, poverty levels, and deteriorating infrastructure.

Despite receiving over N1 trillion in FAAC allocations under Oborevwori’s administration, the coalition pointed out that such projects should not be hailed as breakthroughs but rather as fundamental obligations of a well-functioning government.

“It is astonishing that these projects are celebrated as groundbreaking accomplishments rather than acknowledged as fundamental obligations,” the NDC statement partly read.

The group also criticized the governor’s handling of project finances, particularly the introduction of a 40% mobilization fee without disclosing individual project costs, which they claim could fuel corruption and patronage politics.

Further expressing frustration over Oborevwori’s lack of vision, the NDC stated, “After almost two years in office, the Oborevwori administration should be showcasing more substantial achievements that create jobs and address the lack of basic amenities.”

The coalition called on the state’s leaders to “aim higher” and focus on truly transformative investments that will drive long-term economic growth.

Muslim Leaders Insist On Sharia Panel In South-West Despite Opposition

A contentious debate has erupted in the South-West region of Nigeria, as Muslim leaders push for the establishment of a shari’a arbitration panel, while Christian groups and traditional rulers vehemently oppose the plan.

The President of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs in Ekiti State, Dr. Hammed Bakare, emphasized that the panel is an arbitration that Muslims established for themselves, and not compulsory for all Muslims.
