As the February 2015 general elections draw closer , the Delta
State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Olorogun
O’tega Emerhor, has given Deltans reasons why they should kick out the
People Democratic Party (PDP).
According to him, the ruling party has failed the people for the past
16 years, adding that virtually all aspects of the economy has been
destroyed by PDP, while reminding his supporters that February 28 is a
very important date in the history of political electioneering in Delta
State.
The APC governorship candidate said, “For 16 years PDP led government
in Delta State has suffered us. There is no food on our table. There
are no jobs for our children. They have been telling us stories all
these years. All the promises they have been making are in the
pipelines.
Our youths decided to cut the pipelines, but they did not see any
promises. They later started fighting our youths. Is it not the promise
they said is in the pipelines that the youths wanted to collect?”
He faulted the amnesty programme of the Federal Government, saying it
only favoured the Ijaw people in the Niger Delta, pointing out that
President Jonathan’s administration under the PDP has not brought any
development to South-South where he claimed to have come from.
Emerhor who is also the vice chairman of Standard Assurance Group,
noted that PDP failed the nation when it refused to provide jobs for the
youths in the country, attributing the high rate of insecurity to the
high rate of unemployment in the country.
According to him, “There are no jobs for our youth that is why there
is so much trouble in the country. Our children must have something to
do. PDP government has suffered us for the past 16 years. They have
also threatened to suffer us for the next one hundred years. Is that not
what they said? But God will not allow them to succeed.”
Emerhor revealed that the opposition political party is making plans
to postpone the elections because they have found out that they will
lose if the election holds in February, emphasizing that PDP cannot stop
or postpone the election.
He said: “God has opened the red sea and they are about to drown. So
they are now asking that the elections should be postponed. But we will
not accept their ill-motivated agenda because we are fully prepared for
this elections. We have only 20 days for a new government under General
Buhari to take over. Now they are afraid of the elections. But we must
conduct the election.”
Continuing, Emerhor said that Delta State people are clamoring for
change because PDP has failed the people in the state. He stressed that
Deltans are mobilizing for him to win the gubernatorial elections
because he has the interest of the state at heart.
According to the APC governorship candidate, “For the past 16 years
PDP has been selling the same idea over and over again. They do not have
new ideas. All of them are from the same establishment. They do not
have anything to offer you anymore.”.
Olorogun Emerhor noted that he is going to come up with new business
ideas because of his solid background in the revival of ailing and
moribund companies and establishments for over three decades.
He said: “I am coming from the business background. I have built
businesses, evidence of which you will find in Lagos. I will ensure that
government will be a public-private participation. I will ensure that
in my first one hundred days in office I will inject one billion Naira
into private sector. We will use it to support and empower our youths
and women.”
Chief Ede Dafinone, Chief Frank Kokori, Hon. Cyril Ogodo, Halim Agoda
and others who spoke at the rally called on the people of Okpe to vote
for all APC candidates.
