The deputy president of the 9th Senate and former Delta State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has criticised the Delta State government for allegedly prioritising debt repayment and catering for godfathers rather than development.

Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting with APC leaders and members in Obiaruku and Kwale, Ukwuani, and Ndokwa West local government areas, Omo-Agege commended party members for their resilience in the 2023 elections.

He assured that the APC would put an end to the wasteful governance and enthrone a progressive government that would build a brighter future for Delta State.

According to him, a win for the APC in 2027 would signal a new era of prosperity, transparency, accountability, a better infrastructure, improved healthcare and education and economic opportunities for all.

While assuring that the people of Delta State deserve nothing less, he said that the party would end PDP’s “over 24 years of misrule” in 2027.

Omo-Agege also assured that the perceived crisis among Delta State APC leaders would soon be resolved and the party would come out stronger ahead of 2027.

He attributed the APC’s loss in the 2023 governorship election to the PDP’s alleged compromise of the electoral process, rather than a lack of support.

Omo-Agege urged party leaders in Ndokwa nation to unite, emphasising the significance of the opposition’s win of two senatorial seats in Delta.

“We could have secured all three if not for Senator Peter Nwaoboshi’s ordeal. We need everybody to come together and work as a team because the end of one election marks the beginning of another. I appeal to you all – let us put aside our differences and focus on what unites us. No one enters an election divided and expects to win,” he said

Omo-Agege criticized the Delta State government’s handling of increased revenue following the removal of fuel subsidies and unification of the exchange rate, alleging that funds meant for development were instead used to service questionable loans.

He urged the Ndokwa people to demand accountability from the government regarding oil revenue and other resources.

“Despite receiving over N1 trillion from FAAC and IGR, the Delta State government and local government area councils have failed to develop the state. Instead, they prioritise debt repayment, cater to godfathers and oil party structures.

“We must put an end to this wasteful governance and enthrone a progressive government that would build a brighter future for Delta State. A win for the APC in 2027 would signal a new era of prosperity, transparency, and accountability,” he said.
