🛑🇧🇫- The 7th edition of National Tree Day announced for June 21, 2025!!! The 7th edition of the National Tree Day (NTD) will take place on June 21st, 2025, in Manga (capital of the Central South Region) under the high patronage of @CapitaineIb226. Its theme is, “Medicinal Plants: A Source of Community Health and Climate Resilience.” This edition, Minister Baro emphasized, will mark a key step in accelerating the battle to strengthen our country's vegetation cover. It comes, he noted, in a context marked by the return of internally displaced persons to their home communities, hence the imperative, he said, to integrate the issue of population resilience through the nutritional and health benefits of trees into the 2025 reforestation campaign. This 7th NTD is based on the concepts of “one province, one medicinal grove,”covering at least 2 hectares; “a school, a botanical garden,” for 100 educational institutions; “a green space, a landscaped area”; “the President's time to regreen Faso,” with the planting of 10 million seedlings; “a department/municipality with at least 2 km of row plantings”; a “Pedal for the Tree” cycling race. Yesterday, I listened to the coordinator of the event and he said that the goal is that, we want at least 5M Burkinabè to plant a tree on June 21st, between 8am-9am, in one hour. This time, they want everyone to make it his responsibility to care for the plant until it grows and not just planting trees that will be left out without proper maintenance. We want to change the face of the Sahel and it’s doable. So, within the one hour time, measures are put in place so that those who will plant their trees wherever they are in the four corners of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 can report to the local authorities for their names to be recorded in the archives. Moreover, they are encouraged to share their plants on social media to encourage others. In the long run, we want to be able to recognize all those who will really take care of their trees. So, to all daughters and sons of Burkina Faso, each one of us must have their own tree(s) for a green and prosperous Burkina Faso!!!

Abia’s Alex Otti vs Delta’s Sheriff Oborevwori Same time in office. Different results. One is building a future. The other is wasting one. Delta receives more money than the entire Southeast combined yet has nothing to show for it. Let’s talk FACTS 👇🏾 REVENUE: WHO REALLY HAS THE MONEY? 🔹 Delta State Over ₦1.9 TRILLION received in 24 months (₦700bn FAAC + ₦400bn 13% Derivation + ₦300bn IGR + ₦500bn borrowings/debts) 🔹 Abia State Less than ₦300bn combined revenue in same period YET: Delta is gasping. Abia is growing. INFRASTRUCTURE: WHERE’S THE WORK? ✅ Abia (Otti): – Rebuilt Abia Secretariat for ₦900m (₦1.1bn saved) – Massive road projects across Umuahia, Aba, Ohafia – Overhauled streetlights, traffic control, & environment ❌ Delta (Sheriff): – Key roads like Effurun-Warri, Sapele axis, Jesse, Bomadi still death traps – No flagship project launched – Secretariat, schools, and hospitals in ruins HEALTHCARE: A STATE OF LIFE OR DEATH ✅ Abia: – Allocated 15% of budget to health (first in SE Nigeria) – Revived ABSUTH (Abia State University Teaching Hospital) – Renovated PHCs & digitized medical records ❌ Delta: – Central Hospital Warri is a glorified mortuary – Medical staff strike constantly – No major hospital completed in 24 months Yet Delta spends billions on “consultancy.” EDUCATION: INVESTING IN BRAINS OR BUILDINGS? ✅ Otti: – ₦29.5bn to fence public schools (for safety) – Restored accreditation to ABSUTH – Launched bursaries & ICT training for youths ❌ Sheriff: – DELSU underfunded – Schools lack desks, staff, basic infrastructure – Education budget still bloated with ghost expenditures IGR & FISCAL DISCIPLINE: WHO’S MANAGING BETTER? 🔹 Otti: – Raised Abia IGR to ₦15bn in 6 months – Working toward ₦5bn monthly target – Cost of governance cut by ending fraudulent contracts – Prioritized salaries, pensions, and contractors 🔹 Sheriff: – No known IGR strategy – Huge FAAC dependency – No clear debt servicing plan – Budget padded with vague “empowerment” votes TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY 🟢 Otti: – Publishing contracts (partially) – Subjected Abia’s past finances to forensic audit – Sacked ghost workers – Implementing due process in procurement 🔴 Sheriff: – EFCC still probing Okowa’s ₦1.3trn derivation fund – Sheriff silent on financial abuse – No audit report published since he took office – Key ministries operating in secrecy COURTS & RULE OF LAW ✅ Abia: – ICT-driven judiciary – 17 LGAs with modern courtrooms – Judges motivated, cases now digitized ❌ Delta: – Lawyers protest delay in justice – Courtrooms in shambles – Judges neglected, salaries delayed COST OF GOVERNANCE Yes, Otti spent ₦5bn in 3 months. But he’s showing work. Delta spends the same and we ask, for what? Govt House in Asaba is bloated with aides, contracts, PR tools and “influencers” eating millions monthly. Zero productivity. VISION Abia is building an economy around technology, health, agriculture, and infrastructure. Delta is still doing “empowerment” and handouts like it’s 2003. Abia’s Otti is planning for 2050. Delta’s Sheriff is repeating 1999. SO DELTANS, ASK YOURSELF THIS: What if a man like Alex Otti governed Delta State with the kind of resources we’ve wasted under PDAPC? – Delta would be West Africa’s industrial hub. – Our schools and hospitals would be world-class. – Warri, Ughelli, Asaba, and Sapele would be model cities. Instead? We’re stuck in reverse. CONCLUSION Abia is proof that bold leadership can work. If a state with less than ₦300bn in 2 years can show us working hospitals, digital courts, smart schools, and real savings. Then Delta has NO excuse. We don’t lack money. We lack vision. 2027 must not be about party. It must be about performance. Integrity. Audacity. Boldness. Character. Delta must rise from the ruins of deceit. We need a reformer, not a seat-warmer. We need an Alex Otti not more of the same. #DeltaDeservesBetter #OttiModel #SheriffNoDeliver
