Okowa’s popularity base on performance, not equity, says Onuesoke

THE People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) Chieftain in Delta, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has averred that the popularity of the Delta State governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has  to do with his excellent performance and not equity as being argued in some quarters.

Onuesoke made the statement while addressing PDP loyalists in his office on Friday in Warri, Delta State. He explained that the people of the State are calling for Okowa’s re-election not because of equity or the gentleman zoning arrangement, but in recognition of his ground-breaking performance.

He described Okowa as the foremost Nigerian governor with the largest number of road projects, youth empowerments, skill acquisitions, infrastructure development, small and medium scale industry empowerments for indigenes of the state, as well as promotion of peace, security and human capital development.

According to him, all these have, altogether, created prosperity for all Deltans within the record time of three and half years that Governor Okowa has been in office.

Okowa popularity is in recognition as the governor with the highest number of infrastructure development projects in Delta state. He is the foremost governor in terms of being the governor who most frequently visits project sites, completing abandoned projects as well as kick starting, inspecting and commissioning new projects,  thereby, creating comfort and prosperity for Deltans through his SMART administration,” he enthused.

Onuesoke stated that the people of Delta State are elated with the performance of Dr. Okowa as governor of the State and are determined to vote for him enmass for another tenure in the 2019 general elections.

He maintained that the people understand that the best way to appreciate the governor for the good works is to support him to victory to consolidate on the remarkable achievements of his administration.

He stated that even those in opposition APC can attest to the good works of Okowa as Governor of Delta State, but for politics of bitterness, they chose to remain silent.

“You can feel the bitterness and unrelenting efforts of the opposition leaders to blackmail and misinform the public on the performance of Okowa as Governor in the past three and half years”.

“But despite the blackmails, distortion and misinformation by the haters of the government, the popularity of the administration is increasing by the day. Okowa’s good works are speaking for the party. Deltans are happy and will cast their votes for Okowa and PDP candidates,” he noted.

He said that APC was not a threat to PDP in the state, stressing that no political party without a structure can uproot the PDP from Delta State.
