Governor Uduaghan Commissions Projects As He Mobilizes Support For PDP

The Governor of Delta State Emmanuel Uduaghan has been showcasing projects completed by his administration across the State as he seeks to draw support for candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming polls.
Uduaghan, while commissioning the project, said it was necessary for the people to vote PDP in the coming elections so that they will continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy as they have been enjoying since 1999. He observed that the PDP-led government in the state has made it possible for vehicles to drive to Aboh, in Ndokwa East local government area of the state without making use of a pontoon which was the norm before the party came into power in 1999.
“One can drive to Aboh now, before 1999, when you mention Aboh, what comes to mind is pontoon and bad road,” he said, adding, “Aboh is a historic town, you have requested for more projects, the only way you can get these projects is by voting for PDP, a party which has brought a lot of develoment to this ancient kingdom.”
He advised the people to get their PVCs (Permanent Voters Cards) in readiness for the elections. He urged them to vote for “President Goodluck Jonathan, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa as our Governor, Chief Peter Nwoboshi as our Senator, Hon. Ossai Ossai for House of Representatives and Mr Empowerment, Hon.Friday Osanebi for House of Assembly.”

Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
