DELTA POLITICS: NOW THAT THE TIDE IS CHANGING

Image may contain: 1 person, sitting
There is no doubt that life is tough for the ordinary man across the country. But we should thank God for giving us a better governor – Ifeanyi Okowa, who is trying all his best to mop-up all the drivel that were inherited.

Rather than try to understand his difficulties, many of us are now coming to the social media to shout at him as if he created all the challenges that Delta State is now encountering.

Some of us are so myopic that we seem to forget that Ifeanyi Okowa has been in office for a little over two years as Governor and we want him to do miracles, solve all the problems with a magic wand and provide overnight solutions with no time for deliberations.

When oil revenue flowed into the State during the days of yore, most of us ranting today were major beneficiaries as government went on a free spending spree. Now that the revenue from oil has reduced drastically, we want Okowa to execute and complete all projects in one fell swoop, despite the well-publicized financial constraints of government at all levels in the country.

Going yo-yo from PDP to APC and from APC to PDP has nothing to do with politics. Rather, it has a lot to do with what is known in the State and country as "stomach infra-structure."

When the madness of the exodus began, I wrote an article, in which I stated clearly that those who are moving from PDP to APC will return to PDP once they realize that whatever lured them to APC was based on lies and empty promises. I am being proven correct.

The likes of Cairo Ojougbou and hoard of others who have moved from PDP to APC began fabricating cocktail of lies and became the mouth pieces of demons propagating falsehood which are capable of causing breakdown of law and order in any community

Delta State APC simply engages in deploying all manner of schemes to derail and compromise acceptability of the superior performance of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa by the populace, which has been an uphill task for them.

Today, because of lies and failed promises many members of the APC are defecting back to the Peoples’ Democratic Party.

Speaking at Ugono-Orogun over the weekend, Chief Friday Akpoyibo said “I left the warmth of the PDP family with the hope that I was going to find more warmth in the APC only to be greeted by a high level of impunity, lies, deception and corruption in the high heaven. I want to say that I am back to the party that I truly belong to”.

Now the reality is facing the remnants, that the house built on lies and falsehood is like a house build on top of the river.
