Okowa: ‘Oborevwori Will Consolidate on My Performance’

Governor Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa gave the assurance on Tuesday, January 10, during the PDP campaign at Obiaruku, Ukwuani Local Government Area of the state.

According to him, Oborevwori had learned a lot as the longest-serving Speaker of the State House of Assembly and would continue with the ongoing projects and programs of his administration.

He said, “I have known Oborevwori for many years now; he has been Speaker of the House of Assembly for six years and, as the longest-serving speaker, he has understudied our programs and policies.”

“He has learned a lot and has given the assurance that he will be fair to all parts of Delta and ensure that no ongoing project is abandoned in any part of the state.

“Aside from ongoing projects, he will also ensure the continuation of our youths and women empowerment programs,” Okowa added.

The governor, who is also the PDP vice-presidential candidate, gave the assurance that the Atiku-Okowa manifesto would unite the country to fight insecurity.

He said that a PDP administration would be willing to assist states to set up their own police systems to complement the federal police and other security agencies in fighting insecurity.

Okowa added that the Atiku-Okowa administration if elected, would ensure that federal roads were attended to and promote a functional and stable educational system in Nigeria.

“Thank God that I am going to Abuja, and we will ensure that all federal roads are attended to. The eight months ASUU strike kept our children at home for so long, but throughout the period of the strike, all our universities in Delta were in session.

“They were in session because we have taken care of all they needed for the educational advancement of the state. So, for Delta to continue on the path of progress and development, let’s vote for all candidates of the PDP,” he told the crowd.

Also speaking at the campaign rally, former governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, urged the people to vote for all PDP candidates to enable Okowa to become the vice-president of the country.

“A vote for the party would ensure proper allocation of oil resources produced from the state,” he said.

Earlier, Oborevwori commended Okowa for the many projects in the area, including a Technical College at Obiaruku, and the ongoing construction of 27 kilometers of roads with over 70 percent completion.

With a pledge to be equitable to all parts of Delta and not abandon any ongoing project across the state, he stated that, if elected, his administration would construct the Amai and Arhagba-Orogun roads.

He noted that no fewer than 400 indigenes of the area had benefited from the state’s empowerment initiatives.

The state Chairman of the party, Kingsley Esiso, commended the leaders and PDP faithful for the massive turnout at the rally.
