Stallion Group Seeks To Partner Bayelsa Govt On Youth Empowerment, Sports Devt

Stallion Group, a business conglomerate which deals in automobiles, agricultural products and other subsectors of the economy has indicated interest in partnering the Bayelsa State Government on youth empowerment, sports and agricultural development.

The Regional Head of Stallion Group in Nigeria, Mr. Jayesh Shinde, gave the indication during a courtesy call on the Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, at his office in Government House, Yenagoa on Tuesday.

On youth empowerment, Mr. Jayesh expressed the company’s readiness to provide technical skills training for at least 200 youths from the state on assembling and repair of tricycles popularly known as “Keke”.

He maintained that Stallion Group would also work with the state government in the area of developing critical sporting facilities and sponsorship, pointing out that his company had, on some occasions, sponsored the Super Eagles in the past.

Mr. Jayesh said the company would encourage potential female Keke riders from Bayelsa by offering them special discounts and flexible terms of payment to acquire their own tricycles.

Responding, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, expressed excitement over the offers made by the Stallion Group, saying the Senator Douye Diri-led administration would do everything within its reach to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership.

The Deputy Governor recalled that just few days earlier, he had told the officials and players of Bayelsa Queens FC that government would shop for sponsorship deals from corporate bodies to sponsor the two state-owned football teams.

He said both Bayelsa United FC and Bayelsa Queens were open to sponsorship in kitting, transport and other logistics, especially now that Bayelsa Queens are going continental.

Senator Ewhrudjakpo stressed that the State Government was ready to provide land and do everything necessary to enable the Stallion Group site one of its regional assembly plants and workshops in Bayelsa.

He said government would work out all the necessary modalities with the conglomerate for its special three-day technical skills training for youths on “Keke” repair and maintenance.

The Bayelsa number two man, who pointed out that the state was endowed with immense agricultural potential, called on the Stallion Group to also venture into agricultural business to create jobs and wealth.

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has restrained the Peoples Democratic Party in the interim from forwarding the name of Mr Oborevwori Sheriff Francis Orhowedor to the Independent National Electoral Commission, as well as the INEC from receiving his name and acting in any manner recognising him as the flag bearer of the PDP for the Delta 2023 Governorship elections.

The court also restrained Oborevwori from parading himself as the candidate of the PDP for the Delta 2023 Governorship election.

The orders emerged from an Exparte Motion in suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/715/2022 filed by Moses Ogege and Timinepere Ogobiri of Patani LGA Ward 8 before His Lordship, Hon Justice Taiwo O. Taiwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division on May 31, with the Peoples Democratic Party, the Independent National Electoral Commission and Francis Oborevwori as 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants, respectively.

After listening to Ibrahim Idris SAN, JD Jefia, Osita Alele and Sarafadeen Salimo for the plaintiffs, the court found that there were sufficient grounds to grant the interim injunction sought.

It also ordered the defendants not to do anything along the line of presenting or accepting Mr Oborevwori as the Delta PDP Governorship flag bearer nor Mr Oborevwori acting in such manner until the final determination of the matter by the court.

Accordingly, the court ordered the defendants to enter a defence within seven days of service to show cause why the reliefs sought by the plaintiffs should not be granted.

While the court also granted the plaintiff’s prayers for accelerated hearing, the next date has been fixed for June 9…
