National Deputy Organising Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Ighoyota Amori, JP, has said that some of the projects executive in the past six years by the state governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, will surely stand the test of time in terms of quality, size and durability.
Amori commended the governor for his visionary leadership, saying that Okowa administration legacy projects, especially the N20 billion Naira, Obi Chike Edozien State Mega Secretariat housing twenty seven ministries, departments and agencies of government with in-built 1,000 capacity car park space, banks, mini hospital, creche, shopping mall, business centres, centralised internal connectivity and 8.5 Mega Watts IPP Power supply, attests to the governor’s ingenuity.
He gave the commendation on Monday 13th December while speaking as a personality guest of DBS Television Asaba.
Amori asserted that the State Secretariat occupying a whopping 45,000 meters land space, situated along Marian Banbagida Way, in the state capital, will for a long time remain the best in Nigeria, noting that it takes the spirit of excellence and prudent management of resources to executive a project of that magnitude at a time the nation’s economy radically nose dived due to mismanagement of the nation’s economy by the ailing national government of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Amori, who is the Otota of Mosogar Kingdom, a former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chairman, Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency, lampooned the Delta State Chapter of the APC for unjustly criticizing the laudable projects and socioeconomic development so far embarked upon and diligently executed by Okowa administration.
He assured Deltans that APC will continue to grumble, fumble, wobble and remain in opposition in the state for many years to come because of clueless leadership and anti people socioeconomic policies that consistently ruined the robust economy inherited from PDP government in 2015.
“Governor Okowa is a visionary leader and his monumental legacy projects attest to this fact. The state Secretariat is second to none in Nigeria. He constructed and rehabilitated so many roads which is why he’s Nigeria’s Roadmaster.
“There are other projects too numerous to mention because I have lost count. He has been able to tenaciously build on the foundation laid by Chief James Ibori and Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, and this is commendable and worthy of emulation.
“APC in Delta State will continue to unjustly complain as an opposition, which is expected, and it will remain in opposition in the state for many years to come as a renowned complainant and blame game party.
“PDP is back in full strength and capacity. The new leadership under our amiable Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, will certainly take back our country from the propaganda party, APC, in 2023,” Amori assured.
