Onuesoke Faults APC’s Condemnation Of Okowa’s 100 Days Achievements

THE Special Project Director, Office of the Governor, Delta State, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has faulted All Progressives Congress (APC) condemnation of the celebration of 100 days achievement of Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa.

Reacting to media publication signed by Delta State APC Senior Media Adviser, Ogbueshi Sam Abumujor, who faulted various claims of achievements by Okowa’s aides, supporters and party faithful, while describing the Okowa administration as “a colossal failure in its first 100 days, Onuesoke described Abumujor’s criticism as lonely voice of a man among the majority who would soon meet up with the reality of achievements of PDP in Delta State.

Onuesoke, reminded Abumujor and his APC travelers in the state, that the biggest news of Okowa’s first 100 days in office is the launch of five entrepreneurship programmes under the State’s Job and wealth creation scheme known as OkowaPlus, adding that members of APC and Labour Party in the state gave kudos to Okowa for implementing such employment generation programme within a short time of resumption of office.

“Unlike youth empowerment programmes that people are used to, OkowaPlus seeks to produce wealth and job creators through a rigorous and elaborate entrepreneurship training programme designed to equip participants with life skills, imbue them with leadership attributes and wire them for sustainable outcomes,” he disclosed.

The PDP Chieftain reminded APC critics that with the dwindling receipts from the Federation Account, something
drastic needed to be done to stop the economy of the state from imminent collapse, adding that Okowa’s policy response to the crisis within 100 days has been bold and decisive.

His words, “Aside from renegotiating the bank loans, the governor undertook a downward review of the 2015 budget as approved to bring it in line with the current economic realities, suspended recruitment into the civil service and adopted a phased-out approach to constituting his cabinet to cushion the financial burden on the state.”
