Barr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, the Executive Assistant on Communications to the Governor of Delta State and Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has reiterated the need for political parties and their candidates to focus on issue based campaign.
The call was made in a statement on Sunday, which stated that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has continued to engage in hilarious campaign of falsehood and lies with targeted hate speech against the peace loving and highly cerebral governor of Delta State, and PDP Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.
It was gathered that he said,Governor Okowa’s scorecards are in prints, beamed in series of television documentaries, constantly aired on local and national radio networks including roads, schools and other projects executed in Agege’s hometown of Orogun in Ughelli North Local Government Area of the state. They are tangible executed projects and programmes.
Barr Fred further added that It is common knowledge that Senator Agege, does not have a manifesto containing his policies and programmes, and therefore cannot impress eligible voters with irresponsible campaign of hate speech, lies, media propaganda and verbal diarrhea.
He noted that Senator Agege of the APC, has consistently proven beyond reasonable doubt that he does not have the temperament, competence, mental wellbeing, humility and foresight required of consummate leaders, and therefore cannot be elected governor of Delta State in 2023.
“It is the highest peak of fabrication of lies for Agege to say that he executed more projects in Delta State than governor Okowa. Does Agege have an annual budget for all year round capital projects in Delta State as a Senator? Of course, the Answer is NO. He is a lawmaker and not the President of of Nigeria.
The spokesman of the Delta State Campaign Council Management Committee, added that, “Agege is yet to mention his projects in Delta State in the ongoing electioneering campaigns, no manifesto and no executed and commissioned federal projects in Delta State.
“It is shameful to have an irresponsible individual like Agege as a citizen of Delta State. Of a truth, his criminal proficiency and large appetite for crude politics stinks to high Heavens.
“The good people of Delta State and Nigerians should of a necessity ignore Senator Agege’s empty vetipuration, blabbing and unproductive war of words that is not connected to how he would govern Delta State if elected.
“Delta PDP Governorship candidate, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, presented his M.O.R.E agenda to the electorates which contained his policies and programmes that will further advance Delta from 2023 to 2031.
“Oborevwori assured Deltans that he would listen more, do more and achieve more to expand meaningful development, opportunity for all Deltans, introduce realistic reforms and ensure enhanced peace and security that is anchored on economic growth, human capital development, wealth and job creation, et al.
“Senator Agege on the other hand, said he would partner with yahoo yahoo criminal elements to expand advance fee fraud in the state. This is the height of a mischievous conduct that is unbecoming of a governorship candidate and Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Oghenesivbe said,Okowa’s EAC stated.
