OREROKPE/Nigeria: Deputy Senate President and Delta All Progressives Congress, APC, Governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has promised to complete the long abandoned PTI/Orerokpe/Eku/Abraka Road if voted to power in 2023.
He made this promise, Monday, January 16, in Orerokpe, headquarters of Oborevwori’s Okpe LGA, where the ongoing ward-to-ward campaign of the APC started for the new week, continuing on to Aghalokpe and Adeje
He frowned at the unsafe situation despite the approval of a N20 million loan by the Delta State House of Assembly to complete the road, by present this present administration, under the leadership of the Speaker, and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, accusing Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of trying to plant Sheriff Oborevwori to cover his tracks.
“Painfully, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa brought Speaker Oborevwori as the candidate of the PDP to cover his tracks but all ethnic groups in Delta State are opposed to the bad choice of Okowa for a successor.”
He also promised to construct the bridge that links Agbarho and Orerokpe, and ensure that the abandoned Sapele Technical College is revived when elected governor of Delta State.
He has, however, challenged the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate Sheriff Oborevwori, to a public debate on their stewardship to the Urhobo people of Delta Central.
“I hereby use this opportunity to challenge Sheriff Oborevwori, Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly and governorship candidate of the PDP to a debate on national television to give an account of our stewardship so far to the people we represent.”.
Senator Omo-Agege said the 2023 governorship election in Delta State is basically between APC and PDP and therefore, expected Oborevwori and himself, both Urhobos, to submit the report cards of their stewardship to their Constituents, in the full view of Deltans and Nigerians in general.
He said it would be interesting for Oborevwori, as Speaker and number three citizen of Delta State, with all the development projects sited by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in his own Owa-Alero village, to say what he brought to his own Constituents, even with all the loans he approved for the governor.
Also speaking, the Candidate for the seat of the Okpe LGA in the Delta State House of Assembly, Hero Omwirhven, a lawyer, said the House of Assembly is not a place you send touts and promised to be dedicated if elected a member of the house.
“I will carefully read through all documents that come my way before signing, I will not sign away the fortunes of my constituents,” he said.
On his part, Chief Ede Dafinone, Senatorial Candidate for Delta Central, posited all candidates of the APC are credible and that it was time for Deltans and Nigerians at large, to enjoy good governance.
