By Philip Onome

The National Leader of the APC Egbema Kingdom, High Chief Promise Lawuru (aka Ozigizaga), has lauded the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, PhD, for his pivotal leadership role in driving reforms in Nigeria’s oil sector.

Speaking to journalists during a public function, Chief Lawuru praised Lokpobiri for his strategic efforts that have led to an increase in crude oil production and supply in the country.

He also expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for selecting a true son of the Ijaw nation to carry out this important task.

Lawuru noted that since Lokpobiri took office, the perception of Nigeria’s oil sector, both domestically and internationally, has improved significantly. He highlighted the minister’s proactive approach to conducting high-level meetings and initiating programs aimed at enhancing production and attracting foreign investment in the sector.

He said, “Lokpobiri has successfully translated the reforms under President Tinubu’s administration into tangible outcomes, effectively reshaping the oil sector’s policies and fostering an environment of wealth generation and security for both investors and the Nigerian populace.”

According to Lawuru, the oil sector has experienced noticeable stability, enhanced production capacity, increased investor participation, and a more tranquil environment for exploration activities in the Niger Delta region over the past two years.

He pointed out that Nigeria’s crude oil output has improved modestly, with a record of over 1.8 million barrels per day during the previous administration led by Mele Kyari at the NNPCL, marking a positive trend for the oil industry.

Additionally, he remarked on President Tinubu’s issuance of a groundbreaking executive order aimed at promoting cost efficiency in the oil and gas sector, which has established clear targets for new investments, improved revenue, and greater benefits for Nigerians.

Lawuru further acknowledged the decisive leadership of President Tinubu, which he said has played a significant role in the successes achieved in increasing the current production capacity to 1.8 million barrels per day, including condensates.

The Ughelli South Political Colonels (USPC) have lauded the development strides of the Chairman of the Ughelli South Local Government Council, Hon. Dr. Lucky Iroroefe Avweromre, since his assumption of office.

USPC made this known during a courtesy visit to the Chairman’s official residence at the Ughelli South Local Government Council Secretariat in Otu-Jeremi on Sunday, March 31, 2025.

Speaking on behalf of the USPC, Olorogun John Akaruayen Ewenede, Chairman of the Ughelli South Political Colonels, alongside Publicity Secretary Dcn. Matthew Kwode, stated that the objective of the visit was to introduce the group’s executives to him (Hon. Dr. Lucky Avweromre) as the foremost citizen of the local government area.

According to the duo, the Ughelli South Political Colonels (USPC) is a disciplined political pressure group within the APC, committed to advancing the party’s progressive ideals in the Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.

In their words, “The group seeks to strengthen party cohesion, empower grassroots members, and promote issue-based political engagement across the local government area.”

“Through mobilizing grassroots participation, strengthening internal party democracy, and advocating for citizens’ involvement in the ongoing INEC registration exercises, we aim to promote the progressive ideals of the APC.

“Fostering policy-driven leadership and building a disciplined, inclusive, and responsive political movement dedicated to the growth of the party and the empowerment of the community are also key objectives.

“Becoming the leading grassroots political force within the APC in Delta State, renowned for principled leadership, inclusive governance, grassroots mobilization, and the promotion of sustainable development in Ughelli South and beyond, is our vision.”

They emphasized that the USPC is focused on mobilizing grassroots participation through political education and community engagement, advocating for governance that addresses real issues and delivers measurable results.

“The USPC is rooted in principles of discipline, loyalty to party ideals, inclusive participation across age, gender, and class, as well as transparency, accountability, and issue-based politics.

The council chairman, Hon. Dr. Lucky Iroroefe Avweromre for his part, expressed happiness and gratitude that his constituents (the USPC) came to visit him. “From your speeches, I can see that the USPC is a formidable group.

“And the main agenda is to deliver President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for a second term in 2027. I want to assure you that this is exactly what I stand for. As the Chairman of Ughelli South Local Government Council, I have the core mandate to deliver President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for a second term in 2027.

“So, if I have a formidable group here today—when I say formidable, I am not mincing words. In the political history of Ughelli South Local Government Area, there has never been a time when a group of this nature came into existence.

“Before today, it’s as if I have been part of this group because the Chairman, Chief John Ewenede, is the Secretary to the Local Government Council, and the Deputy Chairman is the Supervisor for Works and Transport. It’s a group that is part of me.

“We will work closely with you to ensure that the core reasons for which the group was formed are achieved, and by the grace of God, we will achieve success and enjoy the fruits of our labour.

“I want to use this opportunity to urge the USPC to encourage and mobilize our people who are over 18 years old and have yet to register with INEC to come to the local government headquarters to get themselves registered for the 2027 elections.”

...As Group Commission More Political Colonels

By Sunday Apah

Former Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development (DESOPADEC) Commissioner Olorogun Johnson Odafetite Boro has stated that he sees the men and women who make up the Ughelli South Political Colonels as brigadiers and not colonels.

Boro made this known when the executives and members of the Ughelli South Political Colonels paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Agbowhiame Town, Ughelli South LGA of Delta State.

He said he was overwhelmed by the visit from the USPC, noting that with the caliber of politicians he saw in his house during the visit, he knew that the USPC is a formidable group. “I have no doubt in my mind that this decision you have made is the right decision in the right direction.

“You and I are like a child who is hungry for her mother’s breast milk, and you provide it for the child. Before now, I had made a decision that even though we are in the APC, come 2027, we will work for Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori for governor. But as God would have it, he has defected to join us in the APC.

“The women and men I have seen in my house today are the political brigadiers in Ughelli South LGA. What I have said now, people will say it’s true after 2027 because if you want to win elections in Ughelli South LGA, these are the people who go to the grassroots.

“At midnight they are working, and at the polling unit they are working because there is no one I don’t know here; they are the political field marshals.

“Now that you have made a decision to stand with Tinubu and Oborevwori, you have made my job very simple. I know that people are running around, but when the chips are down, we will select the boys from the men.

“I want to assure all of you that I am part of the decision you have made. But I want to advise all of us that I don’t like deceit because I hate betrayal.

“If you want to remain in politics for a very long time, remain stable. I urge all of you to work hard for 2027 and not take the opposition for granted. Keep winning more people because it will be better to win all,” he added.

Earlier, Olorogun John Akaruayen Ewenede, Chairman of the Ughelli South Political Colonels, alongside Publicity Secretary Dcn Matthew Kwode, stated that the objective was to introduce the group’s executives to him (Olorogun Johnson Boro) one of the APC leaders in the local government area.
