The campaign management Committee in a statement on Sunday, by the Assistant Deputy Director of Media and Publicity, Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq, said the exercise will begin on Monday November 7, in compliance with the campaign Council directives, Chaired by the State Governor and PDP Vice Presidential candidate, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, CON.
Responding to an allegation by the Delta State Commissioner of Information, Charles Aniagwu, who accused Senator Omo-Agege of sponsoring women to protest non-payment of pensions of primary school retirees, Niboro said the allegation is baseless, unfounded and deserves no serious attention
Aniagwu disclosed this at a news conference in Asaba and urged the general public to be wary of the protesters as they were obviously playing the cards of their political sponsors.
He said that some of the retirees appreciate the effort of the state government in helping to clear the outstanding pension liabilities and remarked that a certain woman leader of the APC was being used to blackmail the governor and paint him in bad light.
She made this pledge when the Project Team paid her a courtesy visit at her office in Asaba, to intimate her of the free medical programme which is billed to hold between 19th and 20th of November, 2022, at Ubulu-Uku in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.
In his words at the carnival-like event: “The other day I listened to the brash and unguarded utterances of the APC governorship candidate in Delta State. I wish to remind Deltans that all well-meaning Nigerians agree that the current Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, of which Omo-Agege is the Deputy President, is the worst in the history of Nigeria. Courtesy of this toothless, docile, and rubber stamp Senate, Nigeria’s external debt portfolio currently stands at $40b as at the second quarter of this year. With hyperinflation, naira free fall, escalating food prices, widespread poverty, dilapidated state of federal roads, labour discontent, and general insecurity, let Omo-Agege tell Deltans what these monies were used for
According to Orubebe who led the team, a total sum of N50 million have been released by Tinubu to be disbursed to flood victims across the state, and would be shared accordingly.
He also announced a donation of N150 million worth of relief materials to the victims by the Deputy President of the Senate and APC gubernatorial candidate in the state, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
In a statement by Iwebelua Fred Nwaokolo, the group said this call has become expedient in view of the fact that “Of the three Senatorial Districts in Delta State, it is only Delta North (Anioma) electorate is presently devoid of a functional incumbent representation quotient at the upper chamber of the National Assembly”.
While referring to some of the achievements his administration has made, Okowa said; “Asaba use to be over flooded whenever it rains, but today, we were able to solve that problem by constructing the massive storm drainage system. He said his administration is also helping the federal government to constructs its own roads with ongoing interchange flu over, the ultra modern Chile Edozien secretariat that is one of the best in Nigeria today, the Dennis Osadebe University and many others
His words: “Today, I am here wearing two caps. The first cap I am wearing is the cap of the governorship candidate of APC in the 2023 general election. The second cap is that of the coordinator of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation in Delta State. The essence of this gathering today is to welcome our incoming president by God’s grace, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The team led by the Commander SACU, SP Christopher Igbaji, on October 31, raided the hideout in Emuhu Community, Ika North-East LGA of the state during which, forty-two (42) locally made single barrel guns, six (6) double barrel guns, three (3) pump action guns, two (2) filing machines, and a tool box containing fabricated materials working tools were recovered.
