A meeting between the Social Democratic Party governorship candidate Olorogun Barr Kenneth Gbagi, and a political support group, Deltans Fixing Delta held in Asaba on the 11th of January 2023, has adopted the SDP gubernatorial candidate as their choice.
It was a culmination of Deltans who have had enough of the seemingly unending cycle of bad government.
The focus of the meeting was to produce a sellable candidate to deliver the dividends of democracy to Deltans.
Dr David Solomon, spoke on behalf of the support groups ” My message to Deltans is that as we are working towards a better Nigeria in this 2023 election, to produce a credible leaders for a our country, at the same time we shouldn’t be focused only on Abuja and the presidential election, but we are also going to pay attention to our state.
What is going on in our state is a great concern, because we have seen people who are less qualified than each and everyone of us, they are looting our state, they are sharing all the money that comes out of the state into their personal pockets.
Something that is meant for our children, and our grand children. We get billions and billions of money, and even with this money, we see our retirees hungry, their pensions are not been paid.
I want to say this to us, let us examine our conscience, in anything that we do, especially in this times, we have played politics in the past, hiding under one disguise or the other, and in our conscience we know wether we are going to deliver or not. One thing I tell people is that whatever you sow comes around”.
He called on the leaders of the support groups to mobilize their people for the cause of Olorogun Gbagi.
Fielding questions on the massive loan issue Delta state is facing, Gbagi told the group that “We will ask for Debt cancellation for Delta state, and we will generate more than enough money to run the state.
I know what to do for Delta state to make money in less than 4 years enough to lend to other states.
Vote SDP so that we can together save Delta state together.
Redesigning the airports to raise more revenue and employment opportunities, expanding Onitsha market to Asaba and reviving Asaba Textile Mill industry, were some of the projects the governorship candidate promised to embark on in the state.
An avid supporter Prince Richmond Mordi from Ubulu uku was also present and he spoke up saying, “the gods have pronounced that Gbagi is the incoming governor of Delta state.
The victory will not be for only Gbagi, but Delta as a whole. He is a man that epitomizes the new Nigeria that we are looking for and He can make Delta state great again.
