The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to concentrate on resolving their ongoing internal issues and addressing the escalating economic difficulties rather than directing unjust criticism at Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.
In a statement issued by the PDP’s state publicity secretary, Olorogun Dr. Ebenezer Okorodudu, the party emphasized that Governor Oborevwori’s administration merits recognition for its developmental achievements.
The statement highlighted that, “We have noted with disappointment the remarks made by Delta State APC Publicity Secretary, Mr. Valentine Onojeghuo, which unjustly criticize Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and intrude into internal PDP matters concerning Senator Ned Nwoko.”
The PDP characterized these remarks as unfounded and misguided, saying that Governor Oborevwori’s administration has been pivotal in advancing infrastructure projects and completing inherited initiatives, contributing to significant transformations in areas like Effurun and Warri.
*The improvements in these regions are tangible and evident,” the statement continued.
The PDP criticized Mr. Onojeghuo’s comparisons of state income to development, labeling these assessments as intellectually flawed.
It pointed out that Delta State’s diverse landscape, along with its unique challenges presented by various towns, cities, and educational institutions, requires a nuanced understanding.
The PDP advised Mr. Onojeghuo to prioritize addressing the APC’s internal challenges and to urge the federal government to tackle the country’s growing economic crises.
The current costs of fuel exceeding 1,300 naira per liter and the dollar soaring above 1,600 naira demand constructive dialogue rather than unfounded allegations.
Furthermore, the party urged Mr. Onojeghuo to publicly express his concerns regarding the poor condition of federal roads in Delta State and the perceived neglect by the APC-led federal government regarding essential infrastructure improvements.
The PDP affirmed its unity and openness to constructive criticism and not “baseless accusations” from the opposition.
“We suggest that Mr. Onojeghuo and his supporters consider joining the PDP to contribute positively to the development of Delta State. Our umbrella is large enough to welcome diverse perspectives,” the statement concluded.
