The Delta State Govenorship Candidate of All Progressive Congress, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has described his EDGE agenda as the embodiment of the hopes and Expectations of all Deltans.
He affirmed his promise at the official flag off of the party campaign programme at Asaba on Thursday.
While speaking at a world press conference held at the APC Campaign Organization office, Asaba, 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.
The Gubernatorial candidate said the Delta of his dreams is one where everyone has the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential.
Senator Omo Age who explained that he joined the race because he is deeply dissatisfied with the present state of affairs in the State said his involvement marks the beginning of a historic journey committed into the hands of the Almighty God for direction, strength, guidance and wisdom.
He said it is a journey for the good of the generality of the people of Delta State.
The Deputy Senate President who 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, noted that “the choice of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Oborevwori as the
PDP gubernatorial elections in the 2023 is a wrong one for Delta State with the claim it exemplifies incompetence, bad judgement and everything that went wrong in the past seven years.
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
insisted that “Oborevwori would represent a third term for a failed governor who ran out of ideas to develop the State.
He however called on all Deltans and men of goodwill to reject this imposition by Governor Okowa.
The APC gubernatorial reminded Deltans that Delta State belongs to all everyone and all must join hands to take rescue it from those that destroyed it.
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.
He also claimed that Okowa led government has gulp well over N2.8 trillion in seven years.
PART OF HIS AGENDA
“Our plans to revive the ports in Warri, Koko and Burutu to boost the economic transformation of Delta State will be better enhanced by an APC led federal government.
We will be able to attract other federal projects and influence policies favorable to Delta State in an APC led federal government with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Commander-in-Chief. Therefore, we call on all Deltans to vote massively for Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as well as all other APC candidates across board.
“Our goal is to build a vibrant, well governed, equitable, and prosperous Delta State that puts our people first. Deltans deserve better.
