Group to Delta State PDP: Provide good governance

·         Challenges Agbobu to identify one project he attracted to Ubulu-unor, Delta as minister

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State has been told to wake up from its lethargy by acknowledging its abysmal failure in the past one year and face the serious business of providing good governance and democracy dividends to Deltans.

The Delta Progressives Mandate, a pan-Delta grassroots group while reacting to comments by PDP Chieftain, Chief Chris Agbobu against criticism of the Okowa administration in the past one year by High Chief Hyacinth Enuha said in a statement said the PDP-led government in Delta state should unashamedly come to the reality of the fact that it has failed abysmally in the primary task of providing good governance and democracy dividends to Deltans.

 The statement signed by  the group's spokesman, Hon. Sagacious Karo Louis, in a reaction to an online publication where it alleged that Chief Chris Agbobu, “uttered some spurious and uncomplimentary remarks about High Chief Hyacinth Enuha, a All Progressives Congress(APC) leader, who had earlier on counseled the Delta State Government on the need for good governance”, the group observed that “there could be no more auspicious time than now for the PDP-led government to  face the realities of governance, by listening to sacrosanct observations from patriotic Deltans who have felt betrayed by the PDP-led government.

Hon Louis reminded Chief Agbobu that a million invectives would never vitiate Chief Enuha's submissions prominent among which are that local government employees and teachers in Delta State are being owed salaries for nine and three months respectively, coupled with the dearth of infrastructural development across the entire state.

He argued that discerning Deltans acknowledge Chief Enuha as a committed and forthright elder statesman whose advocacy for good and accountable governance would never be silenced in the face of uncouth utterances by relevance - seeking individuals, who could not boast tangible impact on their constituents while in power as ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, adding that " if Chief Agbobu delights in riling patriotic critics, he should as a matter of honour reveal to Deltans and, indeed, the world  one project he attracted to Delta State , Aniocha South and Ubulu-Unor his home town as first, Minister of Agriculture and thereafter Defence Minister during the Obasanjo regime".

While dismissing Chief Agbobu's assertion of non performance by the APC -led Federal Government, he declared: "It is a known fact that a refuse heap accumulated for 16 years during which the PDP bestrode the Nigerian political landscape cannot be cleansed in one year, while on the contrary the PDP that had been in power for the past 16 years in Delta has not found its bearing. "

According to Hon. Louis, Delta State, which at present is in a comatose cannot afford to remain in opposition to the centre (Federal), so it is certain that PDP would surely be sent packing from the Government House, Asaba through a free, fair and credible election come 2019.
