The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to concentrate on resolving the escalating economic difficulties in the country rather than directing unjust criticism at Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.
APC has compared the state income to development as observed by Senator Ned Nwoko.
In a statement issued by the PDP’s state publicity secretary, Dr. Ebenezer Okorodudu, the party emphasised that Governor Oborevwori’s administration merits recognition for its developmental achievements.
The statement highlighted that, “We have noted with disappointment the remarks made by Delta State APC Publicity Secretary, Mr. Valentine Onojeghuo, which unjustly criticise Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and intrude into internal PDP matters concerning Senator Ned Nwoko.”
The PDP characterised these remarks as unfounded and misguided, saying that Governor Oborevwori’s administration has been pivotal in advancing infrastructure projects and completing inherited initiatives, contributing to significant transformations in areas like Effurun and Warri.
“The improvements in these regions are tangible and evident,” the statement continued.
The PDP criticised Onojeghuo for labelling these assessments as intellectually flawed, pointing out that Delta State’s diverse landscape and unique challenges presented by various towns, cities, and educational institutions require a nuanced understanding.
The PDP advised Onojeghuo to prioritise addressing the APC’s internal challenges and to urge the federal government to tackle the country’s growing economic crises.
“The current costs of fuel exceeding 1,300 naira per liter and the dollar soaring above 1,600 naira demand constructive dialogue rather than unfounded allegations.
Furthermore, the party urged Onojeghuo to publicly express his concerns regarding the poor condition of federal roads in Delta State and the perceived neglect by the APC-led federal government regarding essential infrastructure improvements.
The PDP affirmed its unity and openness to constructive criticism and not “baseless accusations” from the opposition.
“We suggest that Mr Onojeghuo and his supporters consider joining the PDP to contribute positively to the development of Delta State. Our umbrella is large enough to welcome diverse perspectives,” the statement concluded.
