₦50,000 TODAY, BACK TO POVERTY TOMORROW! IS THIS EMPOWERMENT?

How long will we continue to celebrate the sharing of money as development in Delta State?

The government claims to have spent ₦5 BILLION empowering 100,000 people with ₦50,000 each.

But the question remains, what happens when the ₦50,000 finishes?

Where are the factories? Where are the industries? Where are the jobs for our graduates and young people?

Our people are not lazy! They need opportunities, not endless handouts!

Imagine what ₦5 billion invested in productive industries and sustainable businesses can do for our people.

We cannot continue to fight poverty by temporarily relieving it. We must create opportunities that lift people out of it permanently!

DELTA STATE DESERVES JOBS, NOT JUST HANDOUTS!

PART 2/3

FROM ENTERPRISE CREATION TO STATE TRANSFORMATION

I am not a career politician in the conventional sense. My life’s work has been in the private sector, building enterprises from the ground up, managing complex industrial operations, and taking responsibility for real-world results as Chairman of the Wellmann Group, a market leader in the oil and gas value chain on the African continent.

In the world of enterprise, especially within our energy and maritime services sector, you learn a fundamental truth: having resources means little if you lack the discipline, vision, and ability to deploy them efficiently.

Ideas mean nothing without project delivery. Complex problems are not solved by political rhetoric. They are solved through strategic planning, strict accountability, and competent execution.

Governing a state is a sacred public trust. It requires absolute transparency, justice, and respect for every citizen. But I believe the operational discipline, financial management, and leadership required to run a successful enterprise can contribute meaningfully to public administration in Delta State.

Delta State has oil and gas reserves, vast agricultural potential, and brilliant young minds. What we lack is a bridge between the wealth our soil generates and the quality of life our citizens actually experience.

THE DELTA WE MUST BUILD TOGETHER

We cannot remain silent while the youth of Warri, Asaba, Effurun, and Ughelli, educated, ambitious, and energetic, struggle to find meaningful employment or leave the state in search of opportunities because local industries have not reached their potential.

We cannot look away as farmers in Aniocha, Oshimili, Ndokwa, and Isoko struggle to access adequate storage, processing facilities, and motorable farm-to-market roads.

We cannot accept a reality where substantial state revenues coexist with serious gaps in infrastructure and public service delivery, while our coastal and riverine communities, the backbone of our oil and gas production, continue to face challenges in healthcare, clean drinking water, environmental protection, and shoreline infrastructure.

We cannot continue to allow governments to measure success by contracts awarded or budgets announced rather than by tangible, measurable improvements in the lives of ordinary citizens.

Leadership must be judged by outcomes, not announcements.

When a government claims progress, a mother in Koko should feel it in her local market, a trader in Ika should see it in the growth of her business, and a young person in Patani should experience it through meaningful employment.

That is what development should mean to the ordinary Deltan.

PART 1/3

WHY I AM RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF DELTA STATE

For years, I have carried a heavy burden in my heart: How can a land so richly blessed be home to a people so painfully burdened by hardship?

Delta State is a titan. Beneath our soil lie the crude oil and natural gas that power a nation. The historic waterways of Forcados and Escravos flow across our landscape, connecting fertile agricultural belts, bustling commercial centers, and enormous maritime potential. Above all, our land is home to millions of industrious, creative, and resilient people ready to build a world-class economy.

By every measure of our natural endowment, Delta State should be an economic powerhouse in the West African subregion.

Yet, when we look across our three senatorial districts today, we see a painful gap between what Delta produces and what Deltans enjoy. From the oil-rich hub of Warri to the commercial avenues of Effurun, from the political seat of Asaba to the industrial corridors of Sapele and Agbor, many of our people still struggle to access a reliable electricity supply, potable water, and good roads. Deeper in our riverine communities, across Burutu, Bomadi, Escravos, and Patani, residents continue to face serious challenges accessing modern healthcare, functional educational facilities, and essential infrastructure.

We inherited a wealthy state, but our people were handed the burden of hardship.

THE BROKEN PROMISE

For decades, we have been told to be patient. We have watched political leaders take the stage, outline grand master plans, and declare that prosperity was just around the corner. Many were veterans of the political system. We trusted that, with their experience and our state’s vast federal allocations and derivation funds, they would turn our resource wealth into lasting development, sustainable industries, and meaningful job creation.

The figures tell a troubling story. According to BudgIT’s State of States 2025 report, Delta State received approximately ₦1.192 trillion in gross federal allocations and generated ₦164.6 billion in internally generated revenue in 2024 alone. Yet the National Bureau of Statistics’ 2022 Multidimensional Poverty Index found that 47.6% of Delta State residents, approximately 2.73 million people, lived in multidimensional poverty.

Although these figures are from different years, they reveal a disturbing contradiction: a state endowed with enormous resources and substantial public revenue still has a significant proportion of its people living in deprivation.

The question is no longer how much money Delta State receives, but how effectively it manages these resources and translates them into meaningful improvements in people’s lives.

BudgIT’s report also shows that approximately ₦190.2 billion, representing 26.4% of the state’s reported total expenditure in 2024, went into capital expenditure. These figures should compel us to ask whether our development priorities, public investments, and accountability systems are delivering the results Deltans deserve.

But announcements do not build gas-processing plants. Political manifestos alone do not revitalize underutilized ports. And promises do not feed a family in Oghara or fund a small business in Ukwuani.

Despite the resources available to our state, the gap between Delta’s economic potential and the daily reality of too many of our people remains unacceptable. We have been asked to accept substandard living conditions in a state that contributes significantly to the Nigerian economy.

I have reached a point where I can no longer sit quietly, voice concerns from the sidelines, and hope someone else will fix what is broken.

Waiting is no longer an option.
