Deputy President of the Senate and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, (CFR) has stated that his administration would not engage in senseless Frivolities as in seeking vendetta against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the outgoing Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa if elected into office in 2023.
The APC Governorship flag bearer described such adventure as distraction but would rather hit the ground running to develop the state.
The Director, Communications and Media Strategy, Delta APC Campaign Council, Ima Niboro, who collaborated Omo-Agege’s stance last Thursday, stated this in Patani, the first stop of his campaign train to Delta South senatorial district.
The campaign also also touched down at Agoloma and Uduophori communities all in Patani local government area.
“It is evident that there is nothing on ground to justify the over N3.5 trillion receipts that had flowed into Delta State in the past seven and half years, he would not be distracted by looking back. Instead he said, he would push forward to the task ahead and ensure that all developmental gaps created by the Okowa led PDP were filled for the state to move forward”, he said.
Senator Omo-Agege decried the poor state infrastructures in Patani which he said have remained the same, 24 years after Raymos Guanah made his mark as the council Chairman. He noted in dismay that despite the huge allocations that had been received by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa since 2015 on behalf of the local government area in terms of FAAC, 13 per cent oil derivation, 50 per cent of 13 per cent of oil derivation had all been misappropriated.
He assured economic emancipation for women and youths of Ijaw nation, and to expand frontiers of growth and development when elected governor of Delta State.
Earlier, the local government area APC Chairman, Mr Julius Oruma, described Senator Omo-Agege as a God-sent to deliver the people of Patani and the entire Ijawland from PDP imposed poverty and hardship, and for this reason, the people of Patani have resolved to cast their votes for APC “because the PDP government does not care about us.”
The APC Chieftain in Patani, Dr Chris Ekiyor, advised his kinsmen to boot out the PDP with their votes for the immediate benefits of their children and future future generations to come.
