I beg to disagree big time. Pat Utomi is a talking head of the civil liberty groups in Nigeria. The only company I know he worked with was VW and a failed bank. Please tell me any other successful venture Utomi is associated with. What policy has he formulated? We know deltans involved in public policy in this country, Utomi is not one of them. He belongs to the groups of [I am against it, but they never tell you what they support]. Beside working for IBB and enjoying free air force plane rides in 90s, what public policy are you talking about.

Dat is the man i suspect or senator authur okowa.....

Diasporan: One thing i know for sure is that the present Governor in Delta state will hand over to someone from Anioma and like i said earlier on the likely person to be is the present Speaker RT.Hon.Victor Ochie.Anyone in doubt of this my comment should bookmark it for future reference and for those comparing Delta and Edo state i think they really need their head examined.Aside Benin city where in Edo state can match places like Warri,Sapele,Ughelli and Oghara?The most developed places in Edo state like Auchi,Ekpoma can only be compared to Agbor.

willibounce: It's a pity that ppl from that side of the country are too backward to support intellectuals. They are allergic to intelligent ppl. They would rather support rascals n thugs who knw next to nothing about leadership. If u are not a hopeless and senseless thug, u can't get the support of d ppl frm tht side. Pat Utomi should have come from a better part of Nigeria.

walex_biz: Why do you Igbos like clinging to the Niger delta as if you own it, when we all know that you are minority there. Utomi has chosen to side with progressives and I don't see anything wrong in that. Lets Imagine that Tinubu is a thief even though we have no fact to criminalize him but one thing remains outstanding is the fact that he Is more honorable than Jonathan.

ure wrong wokem, urhobos are more dan we the anioma's...

Yes The Better Part Of Nigeria That Brought The Likes Of Obasanjo,FFK, Tinubu Or Maybe You Meant The Ones That Brought The Likes Of IBB Abacha, Buhari, Etc. All Hail The "Better" Parts Of Nigeria. Mtchewww. Nkita

maximunimpact:

U must be an Imbec'ile to call deltans ndigbo, point of correction delta is not and can nva be part of ndigbo. We ar very different, we have outgrown igbo blind politics of us vs them, we have grown up to be part of a global phenomenon, not d politics igbo play, a core tribal politics, dats y ndigbo always get zero wen it comes to national politics. If Utomi decide to join APC and contest 4 delta golden seat, deltans will nva reject because of APC d way anambra did Ngige. But dats not my problem, d isue is nva integrate delta with ndiugbo, we are not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

solomon111: Delta state wants to diversify her economy.
The best person to achieve that is pat utomi.
The party he contest in is irrelevant especially in Nigeria where the political parties are mere temporary abodes in the preservation of personal interest.
Deltans should be wise.

SON


IT IS SO UNFORTUNATE THAT THE EFFORTS AND SEMEN USED IN UR CONCEPTION IS JUST WASTED. I THINK U SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABORTED.


PAT UTOMI IS A STRONG MEMBER OF OHANEZE NDIGBO..


WITH ALL YOUR SOPHISTICATION HOW FAR HAVE YOU FARED IN THE HANDS OF ISTEHEKIRI,IJAW AND URHOBO,WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ANIOMA STATE PIPE DREAM


KEEP PLAYING OSTRICH SON

atlwireles:

Between Dr Okowa, Victor Ochei, Sam Obi the Aniomas political giants are known in the state. I have to disagree with the Elders supporting him. Please don't forget, this is delta state. Utomi will not win an election against those three names in the Northern zone. About not being corrupt, I will leave that discussion for a later day. Just the name APC is enough to send 90% of the voters in Central and Southern zones running away.

Carlmax:

You just made Utomi or any Delta Igbo for dat matter lose my vote..!

One_Naira:

Please In Terms Of Leadership Those Three Have Nothing Compared To Utomi. They Might.Be More Popular him Than But Should We Base The DevelopmentOf delta In Just A Mere Popularity Contest? I've Read Your Replies And One Thing I Noticed Is That Even If Utomi Decamps To PDP Tomorrow, You Still Wouldn't Want Him. Its Not Because You're Against His Policy But Because He Lived Most Of His Life In Lagos. Contributed More To The Development Of Lagos Than Delta Therefore, I Won't Fault You. You're Entitled To That Opinion But I Do Believe You Are Making A Big Mistake By Counting Him Out Simply Because Of That.

Iriruaga100: Please create a thread so we can compare infrastructural development between edo nd delta.Abi do want me to mention d abandoned hospital at sapele rd,mission rd nd airport rd?

Nashville: Pat Utomi is one of the brightest minds this country has at the moment. I hope he wins. But for a state that has elected criminals such as James Ibori and Emmanuel Uduaghan, it is going to be tough. But hope he can learn something from Rochas and spring a surprise victory.

My Guy STFU. it's Obvious As Daylight That You're Not Anioma Or From Delta. I Don't Know Why You APC Rats Always Crawl Out With Fake IDs Whenever You People Want To Promote This Your Useless Party. Mtcheww

One_Naira: Nigeria’s second largest party, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) or the mega opposition party expected to emerge from ongoing merger talks between the country’s major opposition parties.

He had unsuccessfully run as president on the platform of African Democratic Congress (2007) and Social Democratic Mega Party (2011) but joined ACN last year after discussions with the party’s leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who has led ACN to successfully retake the South-West from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in addition to taking Edo in the South-South and making incursions into the country’s South-East.

Utomi is the second Nigerian presidential candidate in recent memory to scale down his ambition to that of governor, the first being Owelle Rochas Okorocha, who last year successfully sought to rule Imo State after failed attempts at the country’s presidency.

Utomi’s candidacy is being promoted by his Anioma kinsfolk who believe that he has bright chances of victory when incumbent Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan finishes his second and final term in 2015.

igbo boy:

why do you yorubas like to shook your mouth in Niger Delta affairs? Uduaghan don mortgage our future to OBJ farms, that one never do una reach?
Oando oil, akajaku and other yoruba oil magnates have been raping us in the Niger delta of our oil... Abeggi wale shift left, una don suffer us reach..

Bunch of cowards and saboteurs you guys are. How?

Obj ruled 8 yrs with heavy support from the rest of the south. No southerner tried to undermine him
Now we have Bros J (which i think is not the messiah), na now yoruba want to switch party line, and all to undermine him.

The principle in naija is chop i chop...but for you guys is chop and nothing for you....
You guys dont know how to pay back support. always undermining

Tantoo:

My brother my conscience is clear, unfortunately you need to be very concerned because when we win, and I know the sleeping people of Delta state will wake up, the likes of you who has survived on croniesm will have no place in a modern progressvie delta state, inclusive of everyones development, not divisive like your PDP

After all Bad govenment get expiry date, and the time is coming.

paj4love:


guy you are right ,apart from benin edo state is a big mess

One_Naira:

No, The Party He Contest With Is Very Much Relevant. I Agree With You That Utomi Is The Best Thing Delta Needs Right Now. Utomi Can Achieve Wonders In Delta But The Godfathers In His Party Can Easily Manipulate Him. In As Much As I Like Utomi, Going By His Behaviors I've Seen Utomi Is Too Kind Hearted And Too DocileNot To Fall For Tinubu And His Likes Manipulation. No Offense But Delta Does Not Need That Tinubu's Hand In Its Cookie Jar.
Also, Judging From The Behavior And words Of Okorocha And Amaechi, That Political Party Would Corrupt Utomi's Mind. No offense But The Type Of Words Coming Out Of Those Two Mouths recently Best Fit Your Ika People, Not Us. I Don't Want To Wake Up One Day And Hear That An Oshimili Man Started A SS Vs SE BS And To Make Matter Worse, Utomi Is That Man. Maba Nu. That's More Of An Ika Thing. No offense Again.

munky: I think we have a long way to go in Nigeria. So just because Utomi is a member of ACN, then he is an efulefu. By the way, is Delta State part of Igboland? at least listen to his plan and policies before castigating him. Nnamdi Azikiwe won elections in the old western region based on his oratory and political skills.

The civil war happened 40 years ago, its time we moved on. I am an igbo man and the truth is that Yorubas and Igbos are very much alike in their aspirations. we all want to live peacefully, make money, enjoy life and be merry. So why all the politics of rancour.

In Anambra state, the town where the state university is located is in perpetual darkness. Igbariam is not even connected to the national grid. students live solely on generators. This can never happen in the south west. And they have a Governor. Dr chris ngige is not a saint, so am not going into whether he should win or not. However, the people should vote for policies and manifesto and not propaganda.

In Abia state, the clown in the government house is a monumental failure. He is enjoying himself because he is in PDP. Rochas is trying his best, the only governor in the southeast to declare free education. Even the great Zik didnt do that. Still, hes been castigated because he joined APC. Ebonyi state is never in the news, the state is one of the worst in Nigeria based on Human Development Index but the governor is not troubled because he is in PDP.

Enugu state governor is a good example of a performing governor that quietly goes about his business.

my point is judge Amechi, Ngige, Rochas, Utomi and the rest based on their policies, dreams, aspirations and achievements.

Even Mandela forgave his white oppressors for the good of South Africa.

Thanks
