It
is not because of his qualification. It is about Tony Obuh in person. Deltans
have had the singular privilege to interact with all the aspirants coming out
to succeed Governor Uduaghan. They know their pedigree and what they will bring
to the table.
Deltans
have had the singular honour and privilege to interact with Tony Chucks Obuh.
He is such an intelligent and focused man. The foundation has been laid. A State
run by Tony Obuh will be an investor’s haven. He will turn this place into an
economic hub for West Africa. He has the connections and the capacity to move
the State forward. The Dubai we always refer to have nothing. It is a desert,
very little oil. The money you see in Dubai is investor’s money. Investors only
go to a place where they trust quality leadership.
One
day Tony Obuh was asked, where do you see this State in 8 years, it took almost
3 hours before he could finish that interaction. Two things were striking;
first he said he was concerned about youth employment. He said if care is not
taken all the good things Governor Uduaghan has worked for will become
beneficial to the foreigners. We need to have statistics of our people, when
they left school, what they are doing now and all that. So that we know exactly
where our people can fit into and where necessary be sent on short training to
have requisite capacity.
He
now added this other point and it was also striking that he will not send them
to America or United Kingdom because they may not return but he will send them
to the best schools in South America and Eastern Europe knowing that they will return.
That is a man that has seen the problem, thought through how it will be done
for it to be effective. All the people we sent to the United Kingdom, none has
returned. Tony Obuh has the capacity, the pedigree and the heart to accomplish
goals.
We
should maintain our calm. We have a good product to sell in the person
of Tony Obuh. We should eschew violence. God bless Delta State.
