Prophet Jones Erhue, the Delta state interim chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of misgoverning the State over the past 7 years.
Speaking to newsmen earlier this week, Erhue said, “Visit Edo state, visit Rivers State, visit Lagos state, and you will be marveled of their giant strides that you can see, and feel on the ground, but in Delta state, the reverse is always the case. Governor Uduaghan’s giant strides are only seen on the pages of newspapers, social media and TV. A situation where roads are repaired half haphazardly, the beginning of the road will be tarred, but when you get to the middle, nothing is done. But still, Uduaghan will go ahead to commission such roads, and the next day you see stories in newspapers, social media, and TV propaganda at work showcasing how hard the governor is working, but only reporting on the tarred section of the roads, and leaving the uncompleted sides out of the picture, this is the sort of thing we see all the time in Delta state.
“We are happy that APC has come to liberate our people, APC has come to effect the change we have clamoured for. Just come and take a look at the Asaba-Ughelli so called dualization and you will appreciate more of what I am saying. You said you have constructed roads, but the roads are not drivable, from Asaba to Warri, it is dualised in the newspaper and when I leave here for Edo State, I see that the government is touching the lives of its people. I go to Rivers State and I see the government is touching the lives of its people and I come back to my place and I say no, this is not it. Well, I must commend Governor Uduaghan, he has tried especially the continued poverty he has inflicted on my people and Deltans as a whole.”
He begged Deltans to embrace APC for progress in the State.
“APC wants to give a fair and reasonable government; a government of the people, for the people and by the people. A government of the people is a mass movement. APC is a mass movement; a mass movement comes from the people; people who have the same plan, the same ideology and the same reason for coming together and nobody can stop a mass movement. When the APC takes over power, we will provide not only quality, but also free education, good transportation and general improvement on governance. Governance will be given real meaning and it will touch everyone and when the government touches the people, they gain so much from the government.
