Delta 2023: Omo-Agege Vows To Stop Third Term For Okowa Through Oborevwori

Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has vowed to stop a third term for Governor Ifeanyi Okowa through Speaker Sheriff Oborevwori who he said as a very bad offer from the PDP for Delta State.

Speaking at a world press conference held at the APC Campaign Organization office, Asaba, Thursday, November 17,  he shared his policy document that will form  the plan  to build a vibrant, equitable and prosperous State, based on core moral values of service, hard work and shared sacrifice. He said the Delta of his dreams is one where everyone has the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential.

“I entered this race, because I am deeply dissatisfied with the state of affairs in Delta State. This event, therefore, marks the beginning of a historic journey, which I have committed into the hands of the Almighty God for direction, strength, guidance and wisdom. It is a journey for the good of the generality of the people of Delta State.

He described Delta state under Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as one of the few places left in the 21st century where life remains “nasty, brutish and short.”

According to him, “never in history have we faced such difficult times in our state. Beyond politics and political party affiliation, we all know that with the enormous resources and competence of Deltans all over the world, our state is not where it ought to be. Under the PDP, and especially in the last seven years, the problems of Delta State have been squarely rooted in bad leadership, misplaced priorities, pervasive incompetence, and even corruption.”

Senator Omo-Agege noted that “the offer of PDP in the 2023 gubernatorial elections in the person of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Oborevwori is a bad one for Delta State, because it exemplifies incompetence, bad judgement and everything that went wrong in the past seven years.

Omo-Agege insisted that “Oborevwori would represent a third term for Okowa failed governor who ran out of ideas to develop the State. We call on all Deltans and men of goodwill to reject this imposition by Governor Okowa. Delta State belongs to all Deltans, and we must all join hands to take it back.

His words: “Delta State deserves better. We must reject leaders who will not be independent of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and the cabal that brought us to this sorry pass. For Deltans to get out of these problems and return to a path of economic prosperity, there must be change that offers progress beyond mere promises. With my record of public service, my candidacy represents and offers that change. “

He said an objective assessment of every village, town, city, and local government area in Delta State, including the riverine areas,  will come to the sad conclusion that the state is lagging behind in every index of socio-economic development and economic prosperity.

“Okowa’s government alone has swallowed up well over N2.8 trillion in seven years. We are all Deltans here. Do you see anything on ground that is commensurate with that receipt?”

Senator Omo-Agege maintained that his aspiration is beyond an ordinary quest for power. “Rather, it is a movement to liberate, rebuild and reinvigorate our dear State, which ought to be the leading light of the Niger Delta region, and indeed, Nigeria. “

Omo-Agege besides his vow to stop what he claims would be a third term for Governor Okowa through Oborevwori, said he was concerned that Delta State has been left behind in key development indices despite the huge sums of money that flow into it from the Federation Account and 13 percent derivation along with internally generated revenue.

“By the records of the Debt Management Office, Delta State also has the second-highest debt portfolio in the country. This is certainly unacceptable. Ours is, therefore, a movement to restore and revive a State that had been misgoverned and rapaciously pillaged by those whom we had entrusted with leadership.

He said he has worked with one of the best teams of experts to come up with realistic policies and plans, which when implemented will get Delta State going in the right direction again adding that he believes in setting goals and coming up with realistic plans and policies to achieve those goals.
