Rescue Delta from infrastructural decay first – Delta APC chides Okowa

By Dave Okpogadie, Asaba

The major opposition party in Delta State, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has lambasted the Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa-led administration over comments credited to him on PDP rescue mission.

The party in a statement by the Publicity Secretary (Caretaker), Sylvester Imonina, Esq., challenged the Okowa government to begin his rescue mission from home.

APC in the statement called out on Okowa, to be quiet when issues of development is being discussed as he has failed Deltans in the issue of overall development across the state.

There is a common saying that “charity begins at home,” and in Delta State, there is a common adage that says “fufu wey dey full belle, na eyes them they take know am.”

He said as a result, Delta APC dare to say that it was ludicrous for Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa and his “hallelujah boys” in Delta State to tell Nigerians that they were out on a rescue mission to rescue Nigeria.

“Before now, Delta APC did not want to join issues with Okowa and his aides, but because the opposition party does not want Deltans to go back to the yesteryears of political locust, hence the party’s reaction to Okowa and PDP attempt to deceive Deltans.

“Considering what Deltans are going through in the hands of PDP led-Government of Delta in relation to human and infrastructural development, it is preposterous for the State Governor to say anything about the development of Nigeria and Nigerians. Is there any meaningful development in Delta State? Why can’t he maintain silence when issues of development are being discussed!

“Delta APC challenges Gov. Okowa to rescue those projects and/ or answer the above questions before he and his likes will talk about rescuing of Nigeria. Deltans are wiser now,” he said.
