The Speaker, Delta State House of
Assembly, Rt. Hon Monday Igbuya on Thursday blamed the All Progressives
Congress (APC) for the country’s woes.
He also accused the party of
mismanaging the country’s economy.
“The APC has not fulfilled its
promises. It has not solved the social problems, neither has it solved the
economic problems.
“It has destroyed the economy,
particularly the nation’s currency. The poor can no longer buy garri, rice and
other foodstuff.
“APC is making a mess of the nation’s
situation” he lamented.
Igbuya who spoke in Sapele described
the change agenda of the APC as a mere propaganda, the APC government as
clueless and the members of the party as great liars.
He attributed the current economic
situation in the country to the propounding of half-baked solutions by the
current national government.
Igbuya who took time to look deeper
and higher about the present day predicament said “our deliverance lies in our
own hands”
The representative of Sapele State
constituency urged Nigerians at home and abroad to reject the APC in 2019.
“The APC preaches the gospel of
change. Who is deceiving who? As a people, we must face realities squarely and
decide what we want.
Igbuya who was in oil rich Ugborhen,
Okuovu, Edegbrode, Amukpe and Sapele-Okpe community for the 2016 town hall
meetings urged the people to see politics beyond the spectator-spot.
He said the progress of the country
can only be measured by the improvement of the quality of the citizen’s life.
“The House of Assembly will continue
to promote good governance, enhance unity and expand the economic base of the
state. It will continue to protect the disadvantaged group” he said.
He thanked the people for voting PDP
in 2015.
“Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is doing very
well. He is a listening governor.
“The dualization of Amukpe- Ajogodo
Road is aimed at making Sapele a modern city. Governor Okowa will work on all
the roads in Sapele.
“He will complete the Sapele market
and the stadium. The PDP government will continue to empower the people of
Sapele” he said.
Igbuya who endorsed Okowa for the
2019 governorship election urged the people to support the governor.
“2019 is not far. Governor
Ifeanyi Okowa will rule for eight years” he said.
Meanwhile, the leaders of Ugborhen,
Elume, Amukpe, Sapele and non-natives living in Sapele have praised Igbuya for
opening the political space for them to decide the social and economic
direction of the constituency.
The leaders also extolled the virtues
of Governor Okowa, emphasizing his visionary, exemplary and transformational
leadership.
They praised Okowa for charting a new
course of development for the people of the state.
Peter Asagba, Williams Ayomanor,
Sunday Ikoyo, Samson Edeyan, Walter Oyo, David Urhirhi, Friday Eleko, Sam
Akporie, Ukpemueyi Edata, Eyuro Agawarue, David Ikprukpru, Okokoro Friday,
Isaac Ugwujor, Peter Awe, Anthony Okoro, Nasiru Abdullahi Abubakar, Ekpan
Bassey, Felix Enadeghe and others praised Igbuya for rejecting politics of

The leaders who took a cursory glance
at the personalities of political actors in Delta State, described Igbuya as
one of the best things to happen to Delta Central.
They applauded the speaker for
showing remarkable enthusiasm for development, togetherness and unity.
They commended the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) for fielding Igbuya in the 2015 House of Assembly election.
“We must however in the interest of
fairness urge the PDP to field the best in 2019.
“That best for Sapele State
Constituency is the Right Honourable Speaker” the leaders said.
‘We are grateful for the empowerment
of the people by Hon Monday Igbuya, the level of development in the area and
the number of people appointed into government from Sapele local government
through him” they added.
