Delta PDP Welcomes Tinubu, Gives Two Reasons For Rejecting Him
The Delta State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has extended a welcome hand to All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu but at the same time told him that Deltans would not vote for him on account of the failures of his party in governing the country.
Tinubu is expected in Delta State on Saturday.
Speaking through the State publicity secretary, Dr Ifeanyi Osuoza, the party also cited the choice of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as the governorship candidate in Delta State as another reason not to vote for Tinubu and the APC in other level elections.
The party scribe noted what he described as Omo-Agege’s role in the mace snatching incident in the Eight Senate for its decision.
Noting why Deltans would not vote for the APC, the publicity scribe said:
“Deltans will not pitch their votes to APC for many reasons. First of all Warri Benin road, the Warri-Eku-Abraka-Agbor road which are federal government roads but have become major death traps are eye sores viewed against the over 1900 kilometres of roads constructed by the PDP government of Delta state under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.
“This is even more painful when state governments have offered severally to fix those roads and the federal government rejecting such offers and chasing away workers sent to fix the roads.
“More importantly, the humongous debts that your party’s led federal government has incurred has put the nation in such a jeopardy, making Nigeria the poverty capital of the world. This makes it imperative that an urgent rescue of Nigeria from APC is what Deltans and Nigerians are calling for right now.
“Your party’s case is even more compounded by your poor coronation of a gubernatorial candidate in the person of Ovie Omo-Agege, who was rewarded by your party with the plum position of Deputy Senate President. In this office, you will agree with me, that he has exhibited his known rapacious leadership incompetence, clannishness, greed and sycophancy.
“While your party might just be noticing these tendencies now, we in Delta state have since known this of him. Since the founding of Delta, he has the reputation of having been the worst ever Secretary to State Government.
“But we are not surprised that your very poor performing party has chosen a man whose antecedents is nothing to write home about. You will not be surprised that the Senate over which he presides as Deputy Senate President is rated as the very worst in the history of Nigeria.”
