Delta 2023: Agege lack integrity, can't be governor in Delta - Okowa's EAC

...Says spreading lies, hate speech is counter productive

By Wilson Macaulay

Executive Assistant on Communications to the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and governor of Delta State, Barr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, has again emphasized on the need for political parties and their candidates to focus on issue based campaign.

Okowa's EAC made the call in a statement on Sunday, saying that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has continued to engage in laughable campaign of falsehood and lies with targeted hate speech against the peace loving and highly cerebral governor of Delta State, and PDP Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.

He said governor Okowa's scorecards are in prints, beamed in series of television documentaries, constantly aired on local and national radio networks including roads, schools and other projects executed in Agege's hometown of Orogun in Ughelli North Local Government Area of the state. They are tangible executed projects and programmes.

The EAC to governor Okowa further stated that It is common knowledge that Senator Agege, does not have a manifesto containing his policies and programmes, and therefore cannot impress eligible voters with irresponsible campaign of hate speech, lies, media propaganda and verbal diarrhea.

Oghenesivbe who is also the spokesman of the Delta State Campaign Council Management Committee, noted that Senator Agege of the APC, has consistently proven beyond reasonable doubt that he does not have the temperament, competence, mental wellbeing, humility and foresight required of consummate leaders, and therefore cannot be elected governor of Delta State in 2023.

"It is the highest peak of fabrication of lies for Agege to say that he executed more projects in Delta State than governor Okowa. Does Agege have an annual budget for all year round capital projects in Delta State as a Senator? Of course, the Answer is NO. He is a lawmaker and not the President of Nigeria.

"Agege is yet to mention his projects in Delta State in the ongoing electioneering campaigns, no manifesto and no executed and commissioned federal projects in Delta State.

"It is shameful to have an irresponsible individual like Agege as a citizen of Delta State. Of a truth, his criminal proficiency and large appetite for crude politics stinks to high Heavens.

"The good people of Delta State and Nigerians should of a necessity ignore Senator Agege's empty vetipuration, blabbing and unproductive war of words that is not connected to how he would govern Delta State if elected.

"Delta PDP Governorship candidate, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, presented his M.O.R.E agenda to the electorates which contained his policies and programmes that will further advance Delta from 2023 to 2031.

"Oborevwori assured Deltans that he would listen more, do more and achieve more to expand meaningful development, opportunity for all Deltans, introduce realistic reforms and ensure enhanced peace and security that is anchored on economic growth, human capital development, wealth and job creation, et al.

"Senator Agege on the other hand, said he would partner with yahoo yahoo criminal elements to expand advance fee fraud in the state. This is the height of a mischievous conduct that is unbecoming of a governorship candidate and Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria," Oghenesivbe said.
