Delta Berates Omo-Agege Over Loan Warning To Banks, Absconding During Yuletide  

Delta Government on Friday slammed Deputy President of the Senate and Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Ovie Omo-Agege over a warning to banks on an alleged N40 billion loan request by the state government and for allegedly absconding from constituents during du

The Delta State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu who spoke at a news conference in Asaba has also slammed Omo-Agege for allegedly being out of touch with his constituents during the Christmas/New Year holidays accusing him of leaving the country when his people needed him around.

Reacting to a warning from Omo-Agege to banks not to issue any more loans to the Senator Ifeanyi Okowa administration in Delta State, Aniagwu said:

“First of all, Omo-Agege is not in a position to warn anybody. He is not even a Governor-elect. So on what grounds is he issuing warnings?

“Secondly, you recall that the Bridging Finance that we asked for, we followed all the processes. We do not go through the back door if we need any facility nor just go to the banks.

“So it is not the Social Media that you would hear. Any time that there is a need for us to talk about a facility, we follow the process. First, there would be an EXCO approval, upon which we will go to the House of Assembly.

“After we get an approval from the House of Assembly, we also ensure that we observe all the conditions precedent.

“The N100 billion that was approved, we have not finished accessing it, so how can he now wake up to say that we are now asking for N40 billion?

“So if the man wants to campaign, let him go and tell Deltans what he wants to do; not peddling stories that do not add up.

Besides the issue of the alleged loan, the Delta Information commissioner further said when other leaders were with their constituents during the Christmas and New year celebrations, Omo-Agege absconded and travelled out of the country because he was shying away from celebrating with the people.

“He just returned from the oversea trips to fire a wrong salvo and we are urging and advising our brother who forgot that he was supposed to represent us in Abuja.

“All our federal roads in Delta are totally impassable and while others have been busy negotiating what to take home for their  people he was very busy trying to approach the mace of the Senate.

“As a party in the state, we are campaigning based on what have done and on the credibility of Sheriff Oborevwori from the streets of Delta where the yellow revolution is organic in nature.

“We need to remind Omo-Agege that Delta State is home to PDP and if he wishes to contest election in the future he should return to the party and possibly wait until after Oborevwori’s tenure,” he said.
