ONITCHA-UKLU/Nigeria: A former member of the National Assembly, Hon Ndudi Elumelu has lauded the Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa for moving the state to a better position despite the harsh economic conditions that welcomed the government in 2015.
Hon Elumelu, who represented the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, gave the appraisal recently when he hosted media Executives on the auspices of the Delta Online Publishers Forum, (DOPF).
He said that looking at the achievement of the Okowa Led government, and his agenda when he was aspiring to be the governor of the state in 2015, all indices shows that, Deltans had not been disappointed.
“On the issues on what I wanted to do for Deltans… I have been so impressed with Okowa. One for the situation that he found himself. I don’t know of about other aspirants but I knew where we were in terms of balances. I knew as at that time that we were contesting, I was seeing about 800 Billion deficit and I don’t know what himself knew”
“The difference was that, I had structured mine on a way that I would have handled it without recourse to affecting or disrupting activities by going to the secondary market but because of what he found out, he has been able to swim under and inside it and he seems to be coming out strong. So to that, I give him kudos”.
“He has done reasonably well to kind of actualize what I had hoped for”.
