By Wilson Macaulay

Comrade Francis Obule ( JP) SSA to  Delta State Governor On Political Matters has  called on the  State Governor,  His Excellency , RT Hon Sheriff Oborevwori to disregard the malicious and evil minded  calls on him  by some  questionable characters to scrap or shut down DESOPADEC without giving any substantive reasons that justifies such frivolous complains.

The Senior Governor Aide  who

 addressed  newsmen in Warri stated that the idea is an evil scheme against the oil bearing communities, because DESOPADEC is the only Agency we can see now, that is closer to the people, after the death of Shell.

Briefing the media further,

in fervent defense of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC), Comrade Francis Obule , the Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Political Matters,  labeled those advocating for the scrapping of DESOPADEC as enemies of progress

  Obule,  the pragmatic Justice of Peace,  vehemently condemned any move aimed at shutting down the agency, asserting that such actions would be detrimental to the oil-bearing communities of Delta State.

Describing DESOPADEC as a vital lifeline for the people,Obule emphasized its crucial role in bridging the gap between the government and the grassroots, particularly in the wake of the demise of major oil corporations like Shell.

 He highlighted DESOPADEC's unparalleled proximity to the people and its tangible impact through various developmental projects across the 

the 5 ethnic Nationalities in particular and the State in general.

Comrade Francis Obule explained that 

DESOPADEC is the only agency that remains closely connected to the needs of our communities, especially following the departure of major oil corporations,

so  calling for the scrapping of such

a strategic agency Will definitely  jeopardize the progress and well-being of our people as encapsulated in the MORE Agenda .

Obule who expressed confidence and  optimism  showered more encormums on the Agency performance efficiency , even as he  dismissed the claims and insinuations  that resources allocated to DESOPADEC should be distributed directly to communities, arguing that such a move would only sow seeds of discord and unrest.

Shedding more light on the relevance of

having DESOPADEC as an interventionist agency of government,

the  Senior Gov. Aide emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and stability in Delta State, cautioning against any action that could potentially ignite crisis.

"We must not allow DESOPADEC to suffer the same fate as Shell, DSC, and OMPADEC," Obule warned. 

According to him ,those who are  calling for the scrapping are enemies of progress, seeking to undermine the prosperity and development of our dear State.

Continuing, he observed:" l call  on the general public and urge all  relevant stakeholders  to ingnor any call made for the  scraping of DESOPADEC because it will not do us any good."

 For example, he clarified saying: "lf the  money should be given to the communities to share, that's another  invitattion to anarchy,a sure way of causing crisis everywhere. We don't need crisis in Delta state, what we need is peace, he said."

With emphasis he posited: "  As we speak today  DESOPADEC is working, I, can tell you that of a truth DESOPADEC projects are there for you to see, please don't condemn  DESOPADEC for your own selfish interest, just because you don't get what you want, then you will now come out to condemn what's good."

He boasted that he can take any doubting Thomas  round the 5, Ethnic Nationalities to show them  projects done by DESOPADEC, adding that  it is wrong to   incite  the public against DESOPADEC.

He opined that the only thing DESOPADEC need now is more attention from the government to enable it received more funding to give room to ease of  doing business with the  Commission  so that contractors can   smile home, after completing their various projects.

Even though  opinions appears to be   divided over the future of DESOPADEC, Obule's staunch defense underscores the agency's significance in the socio-economic landscape of Delta State. The truth remains that DESOPAFEC is serving as a rallying point for unity and collective service to preserve and strengthen  the MORE Agenda of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

  Comrade Francis Obule  in his summation maintained that our germane and laudable  institution, called DESOPADEC should be left alone  for the benefit of the Government and good people of Delta State
