The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State has said there is nothing to celebrate in the 100 days of Sheriff Oborevwori as Governor in Delta, describing it an abject failure.
In a statement issued by Valentine Onojeghuo, the State Publicity Secretary, on Wednesday, the party lamented at the cost of the 3 flyovers at N78 billion purportedly awarded to Julius Berger as it compared it to the ones completed by the former governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike.
“The pertinent question is what exactly is Hon. Silas Bouwe celebrating?
Is it the secretive and dubious award of the construction of 3 flyovers at the whooping cost of 78 billion purportedly to Julius Berger? Or is it not the same Julius Berger that the immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, used in constructing over 15 flyovers at the cost of about 10 -15 billion per flyover?,” as stated by Valentine Onojeghuo, State Publicity Secretary APC Delta State.
“As earlier expressed in our press release regarding the 100 days in office of Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, the entire Delta State is in total agreement that there is nothing to celebrate but abject failure and executive dereliction having surrendered his office and duties to his immediate predecessor who is actually in control of the reigns of power in the State.”
While weighing in on the publication credited to Hon. Silas Bouwe, a former member of the party who applauded the achievement of governor Oborevwori, the APC condemned the publication, describing Bouwe, as one who lacks character, integrity and a notorious serial liar.
“Albeit, the point that must be emphasized for the purpose of clarity devoid of any ambiguity, is that Hon. Silas Bouwe, lacks character and integrity and a notorious serial liar that consistently engages in cheap political blackmail and praise singing in order to curry both political and financial favours from those in authority. And his present interview in question, must be viewed from that prism as a sheepish effort of seeking political relevance for possible personal advancement in this period of seeking appointments.
“For the avoidance of doubt and to set the record straight, the Party hereby states categorically for the umpteenth time that the said Hon. Silas Bouwe is not a registered member of the Party in Delta State having been expelled a long time ago by the State Executive Committee of the Party for various acts of anti-party activities and at no time has he been readmitted into the Party as a bona fide member,”the party stated.
