As the 2015 campaigns gradually winds down, the Delta State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor yesterday promised to rescue Delta State from the strong hold of PDP, saying that if voted into power his government will run the State like a business empire with a human face.
The APC candidate reiterated that the ruling party is bereaved of new ideas and have nothing new to offer the people that is why they are now jittery of the opposition and are doing everything possible to make sure that credible elections do not hold in the country.
Emerhor who was speaking in Warri at an interactive session with various support groups and NGOs in Delta State, said the PDP can No longer be allowed to plunder the collective wealth of the people of the State, adding that they have crumbled Nigeria with their archaic style of leadership.
He said the present crop of leaders in Delta State have continued to run the State like government parastatal, a system he said, has continued to encourage corruption and mediocrity.
He therefore assured the people of the State that unlike the PDP, he will run his, government using his business sagacity and experience to maximize and utilize the allocation that comes from the Federal government coupled with the State internally generated revenue, to develop the State and make the it the envy of other states in the country.
He said he will encourage public/private partnership between government and private individuals in his quest to turn around the State, adding that the State has all it takes to be like Singapore, Dubai, and other developed states in the world.
“We are saying that er are coming with programs that will provide employment for Delta people and ensure that our youths are engaged. We are saying that we are coming out with schemes that will make sure that our people are employed and are well paid and provide their own food on the table,” Emerhor said.
Olorogun Emerhor promised to develop programs that will ensure that every Deltan that is working will be able to own a house in the state. He said he will achieve this through a systematic scheme that will allow people to acquire their own house through the support of government who will provide the lands for people to build on.
He also assured the people of Delta State that his government will develop programmes that will attract industries that will absolve the massive unemployed youths in the state, thereby adding value to the state’s economy.
The interactive session was well attended by hundreds of various support groups and NGOs in the State who all declared their support for Olorogun O’tega Emerhor. After a successful interaction, the various groups promised to sensitize and mobilize their people in all the local government areas to vote massively for all APC candidates in the State.
