(High Chief) Felix Uruemuesiri ANIRAH, Member, representing Sapele State Constituency, Delta State House of Assembly, PDP Stalwarts and Members of Felix Anirah Political Platform (FAPP), joyously congratulates Okakuro Ede Dafinone (the Ede of Okpe kingdom), on the occasion of His Birthday Celebration, pray God to grant him many more years ahead with good health, in Jesus name.

REJOINDER: SECOND TERM: SAPELE PDP LEADERS NEVER STOP ESISO, BY SRI, AFTER THOUGHT CAMPAIGN, BY EDWIN AFEJUKU AND HIS COHORTS

Friday, 10th April, 2020

Drawing your mind to this current COVID-19 pandemic, that originated from China, those tenants left to their home countries but the Aborigines didn’t leave. That is the import of having what is zoned to a people for them to have it.

If the rumoured second tenure ambition which he (ESISO) failed to consult the Leaders/Stakeholders of the Party in Sapele has not been stopped, which is haunting him now, why is he struggling like a drowning man and why are all these campaigns for him now?

The Faceless Sapele Rebirth Initiative (SRI) members with no contact, are referring to Hi-Chief ANIRAH as a traitor but rather their pay master, Kingsley ESISO whose treacherous act, betrayed Rt. Hon. (Chief) M.O. IGBUYA who can attest to this.

Your publication also mentioned that Barr. Kingsley Esiso didn’t undermine any leader, why was he not at the Delta Central Senatorial meeting, Thursday, 19th March, 2020 at Chief James Onanefe Ibori’s residence? Even ranking Sen. James Manager, Fmr. PDP State Chairman, Sen. Peter Nwaoboshi attends meetings at the senatorial level. Why was ESISO not in that meeting if he is not undermining the Delta Central Senatorial District Leaders? Because he feels that he is bigger than the Party.

Hon. Godwin Omamurhieme Atose was chosen as the choice candidate for the State PDP Chairman position being zoned to Sapele LGA, in a meeting of Leaders/Stakeholders of Sapele, as stated in the directives of the fallout of the Oghara meeting. So expression of interest does not arise from him.

The actions taken so far, were directives of the PDP State caucus, through the Senatorial district to the respective LGAs. If the attributes you used in demeaning Hon. (Hi-Chief) F.U. ANIRAH, a man who was given directives to carry out Party functions, it is very unbecoming of your likes. Well I’m not surprised of you displaying some of the characteristics of Esiso; disrespectful, arrogance, insulting, boastful and fighting to dismember the Party in Sapele LGA and even the entire State. We like to reiterate again that Esiso never consulted any person in Sapele through his usual way of arrogance, so he remains excluded. His repeated broadcast of threatening those who signed the documents that forwarded the name of Hon. Godwin Omamurhieme Atose, that they will beg him for their actions is unimaginable therefore, he is advised to desist from it.

He was in Ethiope East during the Governorship election 2019, he claim to be a State Chairman and could not deliver, he was beaten hands down in Presidential/National Assembly and the Governorship/State Assembly elections in Ethiope East. He can deny everything but can he deny the fact that he buried his father in Ethiope East LGA more specifically in Okpara Ward Four (4) or making his immediate younger sister Miss Rose Afejuku Esiso, Education Secretary of Ethiope East Local Govt. Area, Local Education Authority (L.E.A)?

If he (ESISO) says he is uniting the Party, he should be asked, during the course of his familiarization visit to the 25 Local Govt. Areas, why did he refused to visit Ughelli South LGA up till date? Reason he gave that there was internal political crisis in the Party at the LGA., just look at who is unifying the Party. His Governorship ambition is known to all. If he is a man of integrity, he should say to Deltans that he is not running for Governor 2023 and that if H.E. Sen (Dr.) Ifeanyi Arthur OKOWA, will not allow him, he will beg him for Senate? Finally, we know the role he played in making PDP to lose Delta Central Senatorial election in 2019, he should explain to Deltans. His sins will find him out when he wants to contest.

He formented trouble and divides the party along interest line by imposing Five (5) Leaders on each Ward to determine the Ward Congress. If he is actually uniting the Party he wouldn’t have drawn skewed Leaders list to disunite the Party because of his 2023 ambition all to have Sapele under control politically. If the party had lost Sapele and he won Ethiope East, he would have claimed Ethiope East fully where he did his last election, all because he doesn’t want to identify with failure, he has claimed Sapele. He can’t work in Delta State and expect salary in Anambra State.

The world should ask ESISO why this sudden damage control? Those same Delta Central Leaders he boasted he wanted to retire the way he retired IGBUYA politically, he is now loyal to them overnight, though they know his antics.

For the records, Hon. (Hi-Chief) Felix Uruemuesiri ANIRAH, formed the PDP of today in his house with five other persons and invited Late Chief Owin Sajere, to become the first PDP Chairman of Sapele LGA. Before ESISO and his estranged oga Rt. Hon. M.O IGBUYA joined. It is absurd to say that Okakuro Felix Uruemuesiri ANIRAH, gave conditions when he was appealed to, to come back to the house (PDP) he built when he left as a result of the excesses of ESISO and his oga then.

ANIRAH’s return was courtesy of Bros Emmanuel Ogidi, Current Chairman PDP South South, Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Okoro, Fmr. Speaker Delta State House of Assembly in the third republic and Chief Joe Unuame, SSA Peace Building and Conflict Resolution. He (ESISO) is the most greedy and corrupt State Chairman, who extort money from aspirants, Party faithfuls and yet disappoints them. His fellow State Working Committee Members can attest to that.

If he (Kingsley ESISO) has respect, no sooner he was made State Chairman, he called his estranged oga (IGBUYA) who paid his first One (1) room apartment accommodation along Adeniyi road, Sapele and other several accommodations for over 15 years, gave his wife employment in Sapele Local Govt. Council, saw him through school, married for him, bought him his first car (Volvo), introduced him to Governor OKOWA, gave him series of appointment, etc his boy. They should watch him because at end of 2023 he will not do less to his new ogas.
Finally, interested candidates should be invited to Sapele-Okpe town Hall to address the Urhobo Nation in Urhobo language (Okpe dialect) since the position is zoned to Sapele LGA.

Conclusively, all Leaders/Stakeholders that signed the nomination of our choice candidate should discountenance the ESISO sponsored faceless writers because he is a drowning man and we remain resolute on our stand.

RE: TO SAPELE VOICE (SAPELE TAFIA) A RECKLESS WRITER, WHO THRIVES ON CHEAP BLACKMAIL AND CONSISTENT POSTING OF UNETHICAL AND MISINFORMING NEWS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

Tuesday, 7th April, 2020

“Hon. (Hi-Chief) Felix Uruemuesiri ANIRAH, Member, representing Sapele State Constituency, Delta State House of Assembly, is hale and hearty. He has no leg pain at all, he walks freely within his compound, he play games at the Sapele Athletic Club (SAC) once in a while before the Covid-19 lockdown and you’re fully aware of that because you’re a member of SAC. In spite of the Covid-19 lockdown, he also attends to few visitors on a daily basis. He drives around sometimes to monitor the level of compliance by Safirians, on the ongoing Covid-19 lockdown. Okakuro ANIRAH (the Udukpoin of Okpe Kingdom), will never contemplate going to beg Olorogun Kingsley ESISO for defending the right of the Indigenous Communities of Sapele LGA. It is an insult for such thought to have emanated from you, Mr. Sapele Voice (Sapele Tafia).

“For your information in 2015 when Olorogun Kingsley ESISO was contemplated to be appointed as Commissioner from Sapele, that move was resisted by Rt. Hon. (Okakuro) M.O. IGBUYA, the then Speaker Delta State House of Assembly.

“Sapele Voice! Sapele Voice!! Sapele Voice!!! how many times did I call you? We know you, there is limit to how we can tolerate your excesses, because we’ll be forced to unveil you and appropriate legal actions taken against you. Your present paymasters will deny you then because your contract proceeds in writing for them will not be enough to foot the bills of the suits. Stop posting fake news about the Hi-Chief of Okpe Kingdom, because Hi-Chief ANIRAH will never act or be a coward in his Father’s land, like your paymasters, they know themselves. Same to your faceless Facebook cronies (Patrick Ebosa, Francis Ajogodor, Lower Eyes, etc.).

“If Hon. (Barr.) Ejaife ODEBALA, chooses to apologize to anyone, we are not bordered because it is his stock in trade. Comr. (Dr.) David OGHENEKEVWE we know will never succumb to cheap blackmail as far as the present struggle last.

“From your write up, calling for caution on Media Teams, we believed you should have also been called to order by one of your highest paymaster, but you still went ahead with the frivolous and false writeup yesterday. He’s aware because he’s seeing this now.

“For the records, one Anthony Emejuru, alleged that an Imo person was killed during the 2019 Gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections and we are using this opportunity to warn that Sapele Voice (Sapele Tafia) and other social media bloggers to stop spreading false information, as no body was killed during the said election. All those involved in helping Mr. Emejuru to spread that false information should retract or the State Government and Sapele State Constituency will take legal action against them.

“Conclusively, be warned.

ARROGANT DICTATOR

For the last time, stop insulting Okpe leaders and her people. Hon. (Hi-Chief) F. U. ANIRAH is a respected Okpe leader and the honourable member representing Sapele constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly. I am a Safarian, born and brought up here but that is not enough to oppress the Aborigines… I have not and will never argue with what ever is due to the Aborigines. Ethiope East now but Warri North yesterday should call their son to order. Chief M. Igbuya brought him and he betrayed and back stabbed him being his stock in trade but I am still calling on Chief M. Igbuya should take him back to wherever he brought him before he becomes Neo Nazi of Sapele. Thank you…

THAT THE DELTA STATE PDP CHAIRMAN POSITION IS ZONED TO SAPELE LGA DOES NOT STOP SAPELE LGA OR DELTA CENTRAL TO PRODUCE THE NEXT GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE OF PDP

That the Delta State PDP Chairman position of the party is zoned to Sapele LGA is not a yardstick for her not to produce the next Governorship Candidate of PDP. Same is applicable to all the LGAs in Delta Central

When His Excellency the Governor of Delta State, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa, emerged as the Governorship Candidate in 2015, Senator Peter Nwaobochi from the same Delta North was Chairman of the party but because he has senatorial ambition, he relinquished it to another Delta North person that later handover to the very present State PDP Chairman. The records are there for your perusal or consumption.

The conception that the Governorship Candidate cannot come from the same Senatorial District is misinforming and misleading of the people of Sapele LGA and Delta Central.

SAPELE LGA INDIGENES ARE VERY NON TRIBAL

In Delta State, Sapele LGA stances out as the LGA in which non indigenes, so many of them, so numerous, have benefited in all political spheres and are still benefiting, a lot, so much, incomparable to other LGAs in Delta State.

Since the inception of politics in Nigeria this is true and more so now in this very PDP and APC era: even much more so true at this very moment in the history of Delta State.

If one disagree with this genuine fact, then mention one LGA in Delta State in which non indigenes have benefited up to Sapele LGA. You cannot even mention any one LGA in Delta State in which non indigenes have benefited up to half that of Sapele LGA. You cannot find it. It does not and cannot happen anywhere here in Delta State.

In Sapele LGA, non indigenes were and are State Board Members, SSAs and SAs to the State Governor to mention a few. Are these Sapele LGA indigenes not non tribal? The frank answer is YES.

In this very Sapele LGA, there are many non indigenes that were and are Ward Councillors. Are these Sapele LGA indigenes not non tribal? The frank answer is YES.

Let us draw, narrow, down to PDP.

In Sapele LGA, a non indigene was and is the Vice Chairman of PDP LG Executives. Let us not forget, also, in the PDP LG Executives we’re and are so many other non indigenes. Are these Sapele LGA indigenes not non tribal? The frank answer is YES.

In Sapele LGA, we had and have PDP Ward Chairmen and Vice Ward Chairmen as Ward Executives and so many more other Ward Executives positions. Are these Sapele LGA indigenes not non tribal? The frank answer is YES.

At this moment in history, the biggest position of PDP in Delta State, the position of the Delta State PDP Chairman zoned then to Sapele LGA is being occupied by a non indigene. Do not forget, in Party hierarchy, the PDP State Chairman is higher than the Governor. The PDP State Chairman is the number one man of PDP in Delta State. This is the position that was zoned to Sapele LGA then, being held by a non indigene. Are these Sapele LGA indigenes not non tribal? The frank answer is YES.

Again, presently, the PDP State Chairman has be rezoned to Sapele LGA, the indigenes are saying that the present Chairman is Arrogant, not consultative and operate with high handedness, thus, they want their own. They want an indigene.

The indigenes are also saying that even though you do not agree with the. conduct of the present Chairman as allayed by the non indigenes and indigenes alike: and even if the present Chairman is what him and his cohorts are saying that he is, “Jesus Christ “, that he has benefited a lot before now and even more at the moment . That they want their own, an indigene, especially now that the position of the State Chairman has be rezoned to them, Sapele LGA, as it might take another 200 years for it to come back to Sapele LGA, who knows.

At this instance, name one of the other 24 LGAs of Delta State that a non indigene is occupying their PDP State Executive(s) position(s) zoned or rezoned to them. NONE. This is unattainable and unacceptable, In fact, is an oppression if done again.
