A PAN-DELTA grassroots group, the Delta Progressives Mandate has urged The Peoples Democratic Party led government in Delta state to come to reality with the fact that it has failed abysmally in the primary task of providing good governance and democracy dividends to Deltans.
In a release signed by the group’s spokesman, Sagacious Karo Louis, in a reaction to an online publication where Chris Agbobu, a member of the Delta State PDP, uttered some spurious and uncomplimentary remarks about Hyacinth Enuha, a leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who had earlier on counseled the Delta State government on the need for good governance, the body observed that there could be no more auspicious time than now for the PDP led government to listen to observations from patriotic Deltans who have felt betrayed by the state government.
Loius reminded Agbobu that a million invectives would never vitiate Enuha’ submissions prominent amongst which are that local government employees as well as teachers in the Delta State are being owed salaries ranging from three to nine months, respectively, coupled with the dearth of infrastructural development across the entire state.
He also said that discerning Deltans acknowledge Enuha as a committed and forthright elder statesman whose advocacy for good and accountable governance would never be silenced in the face of uncouth utterances by relevance – seeking individuals, who could not boast tangible impact on the their constituents while in power as ministers of the Republic of Nigeria. He added that “if Chief Agbobu delights in riling patriotic critics, he should as a matter of honour reveal to Deltans and indeed, the world one project he attracted to Delta State, Aniocha South and Ubulu-Unor his home town as first, minister of agriculture and thereafter defence during Obasanjo regime”.
Reacting to Agbobu’s assertions of non-performance by the APC led federal government, he enthused that “it is a known fact that a refuse heap accumulated for 16 years during which the PDP bestrode the Nigeria political landscape cannot be cleansed in one year, while on the contrary the PDP that had been in power for the past 16 years in Delta has not found its bearing”
According to him, Delta State which at present is in a comatose cannot afford to remain in opposition to the centre (Federal), so it is certain that PDP would surely be sent packing from the government house through free, fair and credible election come 2019.
