Many political aides
Since the inception of the Oborevwori administration, the office of the secretary to government had acquired a unique but dubious distinction of churning out letters to Deltans on political appointment on a weekly basis.
It has got to a point that some of the political aides don’t have offices and no clear definition of jobs description.
The present craze in town is for them to form association and to pledge for the second return of their principal.
It is clear example of stomach infrastructure a la Fayose.These people are the foot solders and in the Okowa administration, such political aides ran into thousands.
The Pond News would only comment on the media aides.
Apart from the Information Commissioner and Chief press secretary, there are many media aides that are just collecting salaries and idling away in their villages.
Another benefit of the MORE Agenda.

Running media houses aground
If you say government activities are like those in coven and akin to political alchemy, you are very correct.
Why should a government with a seasoned journalist as the Information Commissioner be doing a wrong thing but expecting different result?
It is the government disposition to the management of DBS, Asaba and The Pointer newspaper.
The current general manager of DBS, Asaba was chosen above and over five senior staff.
And you want the staff to put in their best. It is the greatest affirmation yet that the government is highly intolerant of productivity and anti motivation.
The DBS case was used as a test case for The Pointer newspaper disaster.
Currently, the General Manager of The Pointer newspaper was chosen above and over seven senior staff.
In military, you retire such people and in core civil service, it is not done.
When some staff kicked against it, the Information Commissioner said that choosing a GM was political and nothing to do with career progression.
It is the same indifferent attitude that would make the government to use incompetent contractors to upgrade government owned media houses.
You do not need further explanation why the media houses cannot effectively publicize the activities of government.
Up Delta state .

APC march to take over Delta
Within the week, the leadership of APC and the three senators were in Aso Rock.
The meeting was to brainstorm the way forward and the possible take over of Delta State.
The Delta State PDP and the Oborevwori administration are quaking and looking at the prospect of political unemployment and winter.
Those who were dismissing the defection of Senator Ned Nwoko are going back to their vomits.
Many politicians including state legislators are abandoning the sinking ship of PDP because of the overwhelming influence of Dr Ifeanyi Okowa on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
On the part of APC, it must put its house in order and the notion that the governorship ticket is a personal property of Senator Ovie Omo Agege must be curtailed.
Let internal democracy be the tradition in APC and the party would have a smooth ride to Government House in 2027.
