Onuesoke faults APC over gov’s 100 days achievements.

SPECIAL Project Director, Office of the Governor, Delta State, Chief Sunny Onuesoke has faulted All Progressive Congress (APC) condemnation of the celebration of 100 days achievement of Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa.

President Muhammadu Buhari 

Reacting to a publication by Delta State APC Senior Media Adviser, Ogbueshi Sam Abumujor, who faulted various claims of achievements by Okowa’s aides, supporters and party faithful, describing the Okowa administration as “a colossal failure in its first 100 days.

Chief Onuesoke described Abumujor criticism of Okowa’s 100 days achievements  as lonely voice of a man among the majority who would soon meet up with the reality of achievements of PDP in Delta State.

Onuesoke who is also the Acting spokesman of PDP in Delta State reminded Abumujor and his APC travelers in Delta State that the biggest news of Okowa’s first 100 days in office is the launch of five entrepreneurship programmes under the State’s Job and Wealth Creation Scheme known as OkowaPlus, adding   that   members of APC and Labour Party in the state gave kudos to Governor for implementing such employment generation programme within a short time of resumption of office.

He said: “Unlike youth empowerment programmes that people are used to, OkowaPlus seeks to produce wealth and job creators through a rigorous and elaborate entrepreneurship training programme designed to equip participants with life skills, imbue them with leadership attributes and wire them for sustainable outcomes.”

The PDP Chieftain reminded APC critics that with the dwindling receipts from the Federation Account, something drastic needed to be done to stop the economy of the state from imminent collapse, adding that  Okowa’s   policy response to the crisis within 100 days   has been bold and decisive.

Hear him, “Aside from renegotiating the bank loans, the governor undertook a downward review of the 2015 budget as approved to bring it in line with the current economic realities, suspended recruitment into the civil service and adopted a phased-out approach to constituting his cabinet to cushion the financial burden on the state.”

On infrastructural development, Onuesoke said three technical colleges in Agbor, Ofagbe and Sapele are undergoing extensive infrastructural overhaul, adding that two General Hospitals in Patani and Abavo are being rebuilt, while the rebuilding of the Sapele Main Market is nearing completion with extensive repair works also ongoing at Okpanam road in Asaba and other major roads in the state.

Questioning what else does Ebumujor wants from a Governor within 100 days, Onuesoke asked him to show the people whose APC governor in other states had performed more than what   Okowa has done within 100 days in Delta state?

He appealed to Ebumujor and his likes in APC to join Okowa and PDP in to move Delta State forward instead of involving themselves in unnecessary criticism that would drag the ongoing development in the state backward.
