The deputy senate president, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege has called on Delta state residents to join him spread development across Delta state as he declared to contest for the seat of the governor come 2023.
According to Omo-Agege, as a senator he had done lots of projects in his constituency and that if elected governor he would ensure that the three Senatorial districts are developed.
He said all the promises he made while declaring to run for the Senate were fulfilled.
“I brought a lot of development to Delta central Senatorial district, I also want to replicate them Delta North and South districts. Very soon you’re going to hear that a new federal University of agriculture has taken off in Delta North. Delta North contribute a lot to the state but Okowa has marginalized them. if you go to Delta North there is nothing on ground to show. Okowa rode on these local government councils to become governor but he has marginalized them. There is nothing there to show.
“If you go to Burutu, Patani, Bomadi and other places in Delta South there is also nothing there to show in Delta. So, Okowa’s government has underdeveloped the state”, he said..
Omo-Agege said while the health and education sectors in the state had virtually collapsed, Okowa spends spends N2 bullion on monthly on thousands of aides, doing nothing.
He said he used his influence as DSP to bring a federal polytechnic, university, gave transformers to needy communities, and connected many communities to electricity, amongst others. He promised to do more when elected governor.
At the formal declaration on Thursday, Omo-Agege urged all Delta people to come together to rescue Delta State from PDP bad governance, saying that since 1999 Delta State has been suffering under PDP, and that APC would fight to rescue Delta State, with Omo-Agege as a liberator.
