Deltans Still Wallowing in Abject Poverty Under PDP Rule ---- Edijala of PRP
The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, Chief Immanuel Edijala has stated that; nearly 24 years of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP rule in Delta State, vast majority of Deltans are still wallowing in abject poverty.
Edijala made this known on the occasion of his unveiling of Bishop Glory Ndidi Umerah as his running mate and the presentation of his POWER AGENDA on Wednesday, 6th July, 2022 in Warri, Delta State.
Before presenting his manifesto, he made a brief introduction of his running mate, stating that; Ndidi Umerah was born on the 19th of May, 1966 and hails from Ibusa, Oshimili North Local Government area of Delta state. She is a Clergy woman, Bishop of the Living Word Faith Fellowship Centre, Kubwa, Abuja and founder of Radient Women Foundation.
The Governorship candidate of PRP promised to give hope to the hopeless and reawaken the virtues of trust and patriotism in Deltans who feel the state has been poorly managed by the one party government of PDP since 1999.
He said that; "Those we have entrusted with our votes have betrayed the trust of Stewardship and are now blaming the masses for their woes. Going by the fast pace of global development, it is pertinent to say that the people of Delta State do not deserve to wait a day longer to reclaim their destinies from the venomous grip of the PDP".
In his manifesto tagged POWER AGENDA. He promised to drive away darkness and ensure electric power is made available for domestic and industrial users. He added that; "Our Gas resource alone is enough to unlock all other potentials in our State. Our GDP which has stood at $16b for over 10 years"
"It shall be grown to over $100b in 4 years of my being on the Driver’s seat. I have the competency, unrivalled push and connections to develop our vast maritime resources which will result in creating two more sea ports for Oil & Gas and Dry Cargoes at Escravous and Forcados respectively to enable us attract goods and maritime services to the other ports of Warri, Sapele, Koko, Oghara"
