A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Delta State, Chief Chris
Agbobu has taken a swipe at Chief Hyacinth Enuha for scoring the Governor
of Delta State, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa low in the provision of
amenities.
Addressing a press conference in Asaba yesterday, the former Minister for
state for Defence who was accompanied by indigenes of Aniocha South local
government area of the state, disclosed that the response was important
because, the said Chief Enuha hails from his local government area.
“In the said statement reported by some newspapers, Enuha said to be a
chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), expressed disappointment
with Governor Okowa on the provision of infrastructure and ‘basic
amenities,” Chief Agbobu said, observing, “coming from a man whose party
has no structure in Delta State and has sensationally failed to execute
any project at the federal level, Enuha was only trying to divert
attention from the pervading general discontent and feeling of dejection
among Nigerians over the inept rulership of the APC as his journey into
deceit is aptly demonstrated by the fact that he picked on issues where
Senator Okowa has excelled among his peers.”
He noted that Governor Okowa has recorded a string of achievements in the
provision of infrastructure, empowerment of youths, rejuvenating technical
education, construction of over fifty four roads, among others,
emphasising, “as an astute administrator and committed leader, Delta State
is immensely lucky to have him Dr Okowa at the helms of affairs at these
challenging times.”
While scoring Governor Okowa high in terms of delivery on electoral
promises, Chief Agbobu asserted, “Enuha knows too well that Governor Okowa
has defied logic with the string of achievements recorded within one year
of his taking over the reins of government against the backdrop of huge
decline in revenue; so cheap and puerile is Enuha’s propaganda that he is
also oblivious of projects cited even in his backyard, his community in
Ogwashi-Uku where a number of projects such as the Agidiasei-Edo road with
drainage which passes through Enuha’s village, renovation of schools in
Aniocha South local government area, rehabilitation/construction of the
7.5 kilometre Ogwashi-Uku/Ubulu-Unor/Ubulu-Uku road, among others are
located.”
“As for his illusory expectation that some serial political
cross-carpeters like himself who have now made the APC their latest abode
will change the fortunes of the party in the state, Enuha is living in
false dream where he routinely expects that Deltans will at some point
fall for his delusion and deceit; Enuha will do well to appeal to his
party leadership at the federal level which has fantastically
short-changed the people by crippling the economy and driving businesses
and foreign investors to extinction to retrace their steps and put the
people first,” Chief Agbobu added.
