Chief Rita Lori-Ogbebor, the Igba of Warri, has rejected the Christmas gifts sent to her by Delta State Government.

In an open letter addressed to the state governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, Chief Lori-Ogbebor stated that she returned the cow, rice and.other gifts due to her disappointment in Uduaghan’s istration.

She said: “By now, you already know my stand on the way you run the istration of Delta State. I feel unhappy and depressed to see the.state and Itsekiriland declining from the time you assumed office. “I have spoken to you as a mother to a son. Itsekiri riverine areas are declining educationally and economically. The way our land is today shows no planning or foresight. There is no creation of jobs, neither is there adequate security of lives and property. For many years, there has been fighting and bloodletting in Escravos. In fact, things have got worse since you became governor.”

Good talk ma,if only Uduaghan will listen to your advice,my greatest suprise was yesterday I enter warri from calabar through Akwa Ibom state,when I got to warri Airport Road that was when I start asking myself some questions,Do we have a governor in this state? Why is the Road so dirty like dis during dis period? The taxi I enter everybodies are complaining about the Governor, and Delta state is the 2nd Richest state in Nigeria and this man has not done anything 2 touch the life of Delta people.when I got to his compuond @ Angle part by mopol base his evironment is clean and there was security men everywhere that was when I said this man is wicked,Uduaghan I hail u

Make we hear word. Na today? Rita Hand clean? I obasanjo in those days. Wetin e call Rita then?
To reject gift Na news again. People don reject national Honours. Abeg, uduaghan send the gift to people wen need am joor.
Na activity she dey form. If we dip into the matter, we go see some smelli shit for her side. E get wetin she dey find, we know since.
Abeg I dey come back.

May be the gifts were not enough.

N-tor-ooyi to Governor Uduaghan!

Good deed but it will not move the governor.
Rather he may even exclude them from any other future plan

He was xpecting a private jet just like ori.....(can president). I rest my report.

*speechless*

E ma dami duro!

Ok. I pray the letter gets to him. Thank God for social media and the internet. We are getting informed. There is always a tipping point.

It is at such moments I aprreciate the works of the Edo state governor, Adams.

If all traditional rulers will start putting pressure on the polithiefcians, rather than kotowing to their selfish whims n acts, we just might have hope

Lwkmd! IGBA OF WARRI; C title! Anywae she has a gud reason 2 reject d gifts, only few of her colleagues can do so

This is one tough traditional ruler other need to emulate. Our traditional institutions have been hug washed by currupt executive office holders while our Royal fathers and mothers dance to their ugly tune.

She is an endangered specie in nigeria.Only a few nigerians like Soyinka and Achebe can do what she just did.Told to the scum face that he is nothing but a scum.

'smelli shit' ?

We need to give that woman a hug,you don't hear things like this often


{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Igba of Warri}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Hm! She did the right thing. Let the dirty man know that he's stinking.

The Lady is Itsekiri same as Uduaghan.

This shows you the abyssmal performance of Uduaghan. As rightly observed by the woman, The Governor has failed to make any impact on the quality of life of Deltans The only people who are happy with the current istration are the friends and cronies of the present crop of politicians..

God bless this woman for showing the world the USELESS VULTURE we have as governor..

Ok she don try.she has indeed spoken for so many itsekiris.

berem: Ok she don try

Bwaaaaaaaa!!!!!
This girl always makes me laugh

Businesstools: May be the gifts were not enough.

Of course its not. A 2013 HSE Range Rover sports wouldn't hv been rejected. Wetin be cow and rice? Is she hungry? Emma no try at all!

Even a blind man knows this man has failed Delta State.

redsun: She is an endangered specie in nigeria.Only a few nigerians like Soyinka and Achebe can do what she just did.Told to the scum face that he is nothing but a scum.

Did you mention Soyinka I IBB once set him up. He really could not speak against the evil genius

Uduaghan has delivered in delta state and we the people are very happy with him.God bless Uduaghan

vislabraye: So he's worse than Ibori according to the woman?
Can any body beat Ibori's record?

When compared to Uduaghan, Ibori is a SAINT...

Nice one from the traditional ruler.

as if na nama or rice be her problem..
Uduak..we deltans need job and development..
Nigerian which way?

You are a big fool. Uduaghan has done what no governor in Nigeria has done. Check out our schools in Delta state and compare to what you have in Lagos . You will have course to say God bless Uduaghan

Ada Nri1: If all traditional rulers will start putting pressure on the polithiefcians, rather than kotowing to their selfish whims n acts, we just might have hope

That's a correct traditional ruler. He rejected a gift for a very good reason.

Unlike one bleaching King in Oyo state that rejected Akala's car gift in 2006 because he was given the same car as two other prominent Kings(his enemies) in the state, which he felt was insulting to him even after the governor made his son a local government chairman.
