By Fred Latimore/Francis Sadhere
All Progressives Congress (APC), Otega Emerhor told a huge crowd of supporters yesterday January 26, during his campaign rally in Patani, Delta State that ACCESS POINTS will be established throughout the state to facilitate development of local communities.
He said the APC will collect data of unemployed graduates in their areas and forward to the Governor’s office for strategic empowerment and job placements in ministries, departments and agencies of government.
The APC candidate further disclosed that the era of GODFATHERISM in job placements will be over, if elected on February 29. He promised to build standard hospital in Patani and across major towns.
He said more community health centres will be built in villages, to be well stocked with free drugs while qualified medical officers shall be employed to restore the non-existence of primary health services in rural areas across the twenty local government in the state..
Olorogun Emerhor asserted that the certificate political propaganda against the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Change, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari happens to be one of the undemocratic strategies adopted by the People Democratic Party (PDP) to divert the focus of Nigerians from the party’s dwindling popularity and absolute rejection by Nigerians adding that sixteen years of PDP misrule has crashed the socio-sand political super structure of the nation which the APC is now helping to re-build.
Addressing supporters at the Okuruware motorpark, Patani, Olorogun Emerhor, who decried the state of the Local Government Area, said if voted into power he is going to transform Patani and make it compete with other local governments in the state.
Emerhor who is a business guru, assured the people of Patani that he will use his wealth of experience to create industries in the area which will provide thousands of jobs for their unemployed youth.
He said APC is a party that is well received by majority of Nigerians, noting that his socio-economic agenda for Deltans will transform the state from poverty zone to a prosperous state as Deltans will be proud of their oil rich state.
Emerhor told the people that Patani, being a rural community surrounded by water, he will introduce an Agro based policy that will ensure that incentives and encouragement are given to rural residents to boost their subsistence agriculture and fishing activities through the disbursement of N10 billion empowerment and SMEs funds.
Earlier, Emerhor paid a courtesy visit to the Pere of Kabowei kingdom, HRH. Major L.M. Erebulu (Rtd.) JP, Aduo 11. The monarch gave him his royal blessings, with a promise that his kingdom will give him their full support.
The Patani monarch, however, advised the Emerhor campaign team to work harder, stressing that there is so much work to be done to enlighten the people on the need to vote for the APC in the state.
The campaign train also paid a courtesy call to the Oki family, a prominent family in Patani.
