ASABA/Nigeria: An Aide to the Delta State governor has berated a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Cairo Ojuogbo on outburst on the government of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa on his management of the resources of the state.
Barrister Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe , the Executive Assistant to the governor Communication, while urging Deltas to continue their support to the government, for him to deliver the promised prosperity, he called the statement of the former deputy chairman unsubstantiated and spurious allegations.
He called that because of his present political sorry state, the PDP chieftain decided to move to the opposition.
“Ojuogbo suffered acute trauma and brutalized political ego which requires all manner of re-packaging. He is doing anything, everything possible and impossible to redeem his public image.
“In the light of the above unfortunate circumstances which Ojuogbo found himself, it is expected that he shall continue to deploy series of face-saving strategies, part of which was the recent verbal diarrhoea wherein he accused this administration of unsubstantiated spurious allegations”.
Continuing, the assistant to the governor, said the governor had achieved a lot despite the paucity of funds do to the economic met down in the country, which greatly affected the state, and had opened partnership with local and international
“Deltans are aware of the remarkable achievements of Okowa administration within two years in all sectors of the state economy. This administration has opened up the state economy, partnering with local and international investors to boost power generation, create jobs and sustainable wealth for our teeming youths and citizens in general under the Youth Agriculture and Skills Training Entrepreneurship Programmes (YAGEP and STEP).
“Okowa’s enviable track records in the area of infrastructure development are second to none with 55 roads constructed and or rehabilitated while additional 44 roads are near completion across the three Senatorial districts.
“Six Technical Colleges across the state received special attention which has been commended by Deltans and organised private sector, et al.
“Three of the Technical Colleges have been fully rehabilitated and equipped while three others are near completion stages; a deliberate education policy of the Okowa administration to deepen skills and professionalism in human capital development through technical and vocational training across the state.
“Delta State Health Contributory Scheme which was recently launched in the state received tremendous accolade from well-meaning stakeholders, high profile health organisations and premier University in Nigeria; the University of Ibadan, which partly accounted for the award of highly prestigious ALUMNI OF THE YEAR on Gov Okowa at the just concluded Alumni Annual Lecture of the institution.
“Delta State sports contingent came third at the just concluded national sports competition, a clear indication that this administration is well positioned, focused and goals-oriented as captured in the SMART AGENDA.
“As at the last count, the YAGEP and STEP programmes generated 48,000 jobs directly and indirectly thereby placing Delta State far ahead of her contemporaries in the country,” Oghenesivbe said.
He urged Deltans to be weary of what he called “sugar-coated political orators” striking deals with money-bags to unscrupulously hoodwink our people to a “blink and hazy future” where there is no guarantee of prosperity and socioeconomic advancement; as can be seen from the APC stagnated economy and massive human rights violations, reckless torture, maiming and senseless killings across the country.
“Ojuogbo recently found a new political godfather in the person of Olorogun Otega Emerhor of Mainstream APC DELTA faction, and it is expected that he had to reduce himself drastically to conform with his new debased and or low level political status. He said.
