Mr Omo-Agege says Delta State is ripe for the APC to take over, con
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Ovie Omo-Agege, Thursday dismissed the notion of the Peoples Democratic Party’s firm grip of the state.
”We’re determined to achieve this; we’ve been going round each local government, ward by ward, making the case; drawing the attention of the people of the state to the mis-governance and lack of performance on the part of not just Okowa but the PDP led administration in the past 14 years. ”This is because of the receipts we have gotten from federal allocation, inclusive of a 13 per cent derivation and other resources that come to the state by way of Internally Generated Revenue,’’ he said.
He, however, alleged that the incumbent governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, had nothing to show for the N4.2 trillion earned by the state in the last seven and half years. He alleged that in spite of being a medical doctor, the health sector in Delta took a nosedive under the Okowa administration.
