Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC for the Isoko Federal Constituency, Dr Sylvester Onoyona, chose the occasion of the 31 birthday anniversary of Delta State to urge the state to sack the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, come 2023.
The politician made this call while felicitated with Deltans on the occasion of its 31st anniversary.
Dr. Onoyona noted that, since the advent of democracy in 1999, the PDP has grossly mismanaged the state making it a cash-cow for the party leaders both in and outside the state.
The 13% derivation accruals to the state, Dr Onoyona holds that, it was enough to develop the state much better than Lagos State that he said, now compares with the best metropolitan cities of the world owing to visionary leadership of the Progressives who have variously led the state.
According to him, to exit poverty caused by corruption and what he described as gross maladministration, Delta people must overwhelmingly vote out the PDP.
“They are usurpers of power and misleaders”, he said.
Onoyona believes that his party holds a better alternative.
“The APC has always offered a better option in governance and leadership for the Nigerian people including the good people of Delta State, and I dear I ask for a renewed mandate in 2023 so that our team will hit ground running to change the ugly narratives that have become the hallmark of the bad leadership in Delta State.
“At 31, our state has no good roads to boast of, the state of education is zero, with tuition fees skyrocketing everyday,poverty is a norm; illiteracy is growing by the moments just like our state has been plunged into eternal debts more than any state in the country. Our state capital has been turned to a glorified village by successive PDP governments, health sector is crippled and so on “, Dr. Onoyona stated.
