representing
Warri Federal Constituency in
the House of Representatives,
Mr. Daniel Reyenieju, has
urged Deltans to remain
steadfast and resolute in their
beliefs in the current Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP-led
government in the state,
noting that the government
is committed in the
distribution of dividends of
democracy to all nooks and
crannies of the state.
The lawmaker stated this,
yesterday, in warri, when
Benin River Forum, a political
pressure group, paid him a
solidarity visit.
Reyenieju expressed
gratitude to the group and
others for the massive support
given to the PDP so far, such
that enabled the party to
secure 100 per cent victory in
the recently concluded local
government council elections
in the constituency, and Delta
State at large.
He said: “The resounding
electoral victory at the local
government level is a clear
affirmation of the total
acceptability of the current
administration in the state
and the desire of electorate to
support him again."
In his reaction, leader of the
group, Mr. Gbogwa Nanna,
thanked Reyenieju for his
quality legislative
representation such that the
Warri Federal Constituency
can boast of enviable mega
projects being undertaken by
the federal authorities, which
when completed, will
transform and massively
develop the area.

2019 is
about taking
back Nigeria
—Presidential
hopeful
By Oboh
Agbonkhese
THE general elections of
2019 will be about the
citizens taking back the
country from those that
have turned it into a private
estate.
This was the position of
Mr. Jaiye Gaskia, a
presidential aspirant in the
forthcoming 2019 elections,
who spoke to journalists at
Environmental Rights
Action, ERA, roundtable
on water privatisation in
Lagos State.
According to Gaskia,
“the political parties we
have today are owned by
individuals called
stakeholders. So the people
must take back the country
by actively getting
involved in politicking.
“Even the coalition by
statesmen such as
Olusegun Obasanjo, are
simply to ensure a smooth
transition from one
member of the elite class
to another, as they are
scared that nonperformance
will make the
people choose outside the
‘ruling class’.”
Gaskia, the Convener of
Take Back Nigeria, which
he described as a
movement and not a
political group, said the
electorate must, through
the voters’ cards, ask
politicians to answer for
their failed promises.
