The remark was made by Brigadier Gen. Mike Ndubuisi (Rtd), President General of Ndokwa Neku Union, highest socio-cultural organisation of Ndokwa nation in Delta State on Wednesday 14th of June 2021 during a consultation visit by the Delta Ijaw for Governor 2023 lobby team at Ezhionum community in Ukwuani Local Government Area of the state.

He stated: “Looking at the list of members from your team, we can see the seriousness of the Ijaw ahead of 2023.”

According to him, the Ndokwa, like the Ijaw in the state, speak with one voice, noting that he would convey their appeal to the Ndokwa nation and take the right decision at the appropriate time.
In her remarks, Prof. Julie Umukoro, National Woman Leader of Ndokwa Neku expressed hope that the visit will mark a new beginning in Ndokwa quest for justice.
Earlier, leader of the Ijaw delegation, Alaowei Broderick Bozimo appealed to the Ndokwa nation to give full support to the Ijaw governorship bid come 2023.
Bozimo who spoke on behalf of the Delta Ijaw for Governor 2023 lobby team noted that the Ijaw speaking people and Ndokwa nation are people with peculiar challenges and that a governor of Ijaw extraction would appreciate the peculiar challenges of the Ndokwa nation and do the needful.
Alaowei Bozimo who reiterated that the Ijaw have been supporting others in their governorship bid by voting across all the senatorial districts and ethnic nationalities since the creation of the state, made a case for the Ijaw to be supported to produce governor of Delta State in 2023.

Elder Bozimo further informed the Ndokwa nation that three capable Ijaw sons, namely: His Excellency, Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, Deputy Governor of Delta State, Sen. James Manager, Senator Representing Delta South Senatorial District and Dr. Braduce Amakazi Angozi, former commissioner for Agriculture, Delta State and Chairman of Burutu LGA have indictaed their interest to contest the 2023 governorship election.
He expressed his confidence in the capacity of the trio to govern the state, if given the opportunity.
Sounding philosophical, Bozimo said there is time and season for everything, saying “this is our time and season: I believe that the hand of God is deeply involved in this Ijaw for 2023 governorship because all the narratives favour the Ijawn. We will all dance to Asaba to install a new king in the Government House who will be an Ijaw man, our God specialises in impossibilities,” he said!
On zoning, Alaowei Broderick stated: “Power has gone round to all the three senatorial districts in Delta State, hence it is not out of place for an Ijaw man from the Delta South Senatorial District to become governor come 2023, the Ijaw have sacrificed a lot economically, politically and otherwise to merit the governor of Delta State come 2023 (Sic).
“This is not an ethnic matter, we are part of Delta State hence we should be given a sense of belonging. We have competent aspirants that can deliver and that those who disregarded zoning in the past and contested all Governorship elections in the state have no moral justification to talk about zoning.”

Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, on Friday, met with All Progressives Congress leaders and stakeholders in Ogbomoso and Oyo zones in Oyo State, respectively.
Addressing party members in Ogbomoso at the residence of one of the leaders of the party, Ayoade Adeseun, the minister said the meeting was part of his consultations across geopolitical zones in the state towards realisation of his governorship ambition in 2027.
He, therefore, allayed the fear of the party stakeholders that APC would not impose any aspirant in 2027, saying, “I’m up to the task, I want to show them that I can withstand and survive competition and come out victorious.”
While seeking their supports towards the realisation of his ambition, Adelabu pleaded for forgiveness from aggrieved members, saying they should be concerned of how the party will come back to power in 2027.

He said, “I’m here to tell you that I want to contest for governor of Oyo State in 2027. I’m ready to put to test all experience I’ve gathered from the past two elections.
“I’m not against other zones becoming governor of the state, all I know is that God’s time is the best.
“Ogbomoso is very important in this state election, I’m here to seek for your support and backing, I’m happy to see that all the factions in Ogbomoso are now one.”
He also called on people in the zone to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu for more dividends of democracy.

“This is another turn of Yorubas to serve their two terms as President of Nigeria. Nigeria has a lot to benefit if Tinubu is re-elected,” Adelabu added.
In Oyo town, Adelabu pleaded for their supports, saying “I will run all inclusive government where everybody will be involved in governance of the state and no one will be left behind if I become governor of the state in 2027.
“I’m here for people to know that no one can impose anybody, I want to work and prove to our party members that I’m up to the task, I want to show them that I can withstand and survive competition and come out victorious.

“Oyo is like a second home to me, my supporters, followers, associates and allied are all here, they have been supporting me in the past and they are ready to support me again.
“I will give what is due to Oyo. Oyo zone deserves better treatment because it is symbolic, Oyo is historical, symbolic and blessing to the entire state.”
Adeseun and son of former governor, Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala, urged members of the party to come together and ensure emergence of the APC in 2027.

Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has warned President Bola Tinubu to be vigilant, stating that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is already making mistakes that could cost them victory in the 2027 elections.
According to Primate Ayodele, the APC’s national convention will mark the beginning of the party’s crisis.
“For APC, their convention is dangerous, and the convention will mark the beginning of APC’s crisis. Tinubu must not sleep because mistakes are being made already. I see serious problems in the party, but they are not yet seeing it,” he revealed.

Primate Ayodele also revealed that there are several things God has shown him regarding the 2027 elections, and more will be revealed at the launch of his annual prophecy book, “Warnings to the Nations,” on July 5, 2025.
The book, which has been published annually since 1994, features prophecies concerning various nations, world leaders, and influential individuals.
In addition to his warning to President Tinubu, Primate Ayodele advised opposition candidates against relying on their proposed coalition platform, All Democratic Alliance (ADA), saying it will fail.
Instead, he suggested they adopt the African Democratic Congress (ADC) platform, which he believes has the capacity to build something strong.

“ADA Party will not give you anything, ADC is better for a coalition front than ADA. Even SDP cannot make any tangible movement, let them use ADC so they won’t build on an infertile ground.”
The upcoming edition of “Warnings to the Nations” spans over 600 pages and features prophecies on Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, Ghana’s President John Mahama, and prominent Nigerian billionaires such as Mike Adenuga, Aliko Dangote, and Abdul Samad Rabiu.
The book has a track record of accurately foretelling significant global events, with over 15,000 prophecies coming to pass since its inception.
