Bayelsa West Zoning: Group Lauds  Deputy  Speaker, Others  From Ekeremor



The Deputy Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Hon. Michael Ogbere and other respected leaders of Ekeremor Local Government area have been lauded as progressives by a group, Bayelsa West Frontiers for Solidarity.

The group in a statement by its Convener, Comrade Odogu Kerike and the Spokesman, Mr Seibide Finine wondered why sons of Ekeremor whose voices were loudest in support of anti zoning, in the build up to the 2020 Bayelsa West Senatorial by-election are now being used to drum the zoning agitations by desperate power seekers.

They particularly extolled the Bayelsa State Deputy Speaker, Hon. Michael Ogbere for being progressive, having a clear understanding no zoning agreement has ever been followed through in the district and may never be therefore championing the zoning agreement as being advanced by some powerdriven elements from Ekeremor is an exercise in futility.

The group called on all promoting the zoning principle to look beyond the political gimmicks certain selfish politicians in the region are advancing. No election in the region including the 2020 by election has obeyed the zoning agreement and this position will not change.

The Bayelsa West Frontiers for Solidarity recalled that respected traditional rulers converged at Isampou in May 2020, with Mr. Stanley Braboke also in attendance as state political appointee from the area, to re-affirm zoning and equally cautioned against anyone from Ekeremor contesting for Senate of which Chief Ebebi, against all the advice and pleas contested and even proceeded to the courts, even up to the Supreme Court.

According to the group, “It beats any good sense of reasoning for anyone, seeing the quality of representation Bayelsa West Senatorial District now enjoys at the red chambers in the person of Sena

 The sad occurrence of the collapse of a 21 storey building in Lagos was a monumental disaster. Certainly the loss of more than 20 lives up to-date is a painful human tragedy. All attention must be focussed on what happened, why it happened and how can future occurrences be prevented all together!. Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, as usual of him, immediately rose to the occasion. Cut short his schedule official engagement in Rome and went to the venue straight from the airport. Even before his arrival the General Manager in charge was immediately sent on compulsory leave. Within 24hrs the governor has visited the site and the surviving victims about twice and a technical enquiry committee of capable and highly credible professionals has been put in place to unravel whatever happened and to advice government appropriately on issues including that of culpability, negligence and possible acts of criminality. It is widely reported that the number of floors constructed was far in exces...
