Nwaoboshi’s Aide Releases Statement To Explain Outburst On Asaba Flyover
SENATOR Peter Nwaoboshi, represents Delta North Senatorial District, where Governor Ifeanyi Okowa hails from. Having warned of poor quality of the ongoing flyover project by the Okowa Administration, at the popular Coker Junction in Asaba, Delta State capital, a Legislative Aide, Philip Elueme, in a statement made available to newscrackers.com, said that, “it’s apparent that Senator Nwaoboshi’s recent comment on poor infrastructural development of the state, particularly in Asaba, spurred the government to embark on the hurried construction of the flyover.”
According to Elueme, prior to the challenge thrown by distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi over poor infrastructure in Asaba, the state capital, the Delta State Governor had been sleeping and relishing the deception and illusion of being “a road master. The flyover that he is belatedly embarking upon is being badly executed, due to the poor and low grade of the contractor.
He urged the Governor to, “emulate the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who has constructed about 10 flyovers in that state, compared to none under Okowa, our self appointed road master”. He also mentioned the developmental strides of the governors of Ebonyi, Bornu, Bayelsa, Kaduna and Kano, saying they have taken developments in their respective states to the next level.
Nwaoboshi’s aide stated that Governor Okowa has disappointed the people of Delta State on all fronts, particularly the Anioma nation, on whose back he rode to power in 2015/2019, saying, the resources that accrued to the state was enough for the governor to turn around the fortunes of the oil-rich state.
According to Elueme, while Governors Wike, Obiano, Ayade and Udom, are productively growing infrastructure and running existing airports in their states with fleets of commercial planes, Governor Okowa sold off the only airport, wondering, “what has the people of the state done wrong to warrant such flagrant disregard to development in the state”?
The image maker of Senator Nwaoboshi stated that Delta, in terms of the monetary accruals from the Federation Account, deserves much more than the governor is giving, noting that a former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, who is presently the DG of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), had in 2017, stated in Asaba, that the monthly accruals from the Federal Government to the state since 1999, when democracy returned to the country, was more than the money used to rebuild the entire Europe after the Second World War. Elueme, therefore called on the governor to step up action in meaningfully impacting on the lives of the people in the state
He called on the people of the state to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) to birth a new state, where prosperity will be taken beyond what he called mere deceptive jamboree and power aggrandisement. “Thank God we have a Senator, who appreciates development and growth. In Senator Nwaoboshi, the people of Delta North Senatorial District have a man whose gaze is focused on true development.
