Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has assured that his presidency and Ovie Omo-Agege’s governorship would bring “hope, employment and development” to Delta and Nigeria at large.
Tinubu gave the assurance on Saturday during the APC rally held at the Warri Township Stadium.
Addressing the mammoth crowd, Tinubu said that voting for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would amount to continuation of 23 years of underdevelopment of Delta.
Tinubu accused the opposition party of abandoning infrastructural development in the state and leaving the state to rot away.
“Out government will further re-activate the Multi-Billion Dollar Gas Revolution Industrial Park Project.
“President Buhari’s administration has made great strides in revisiting this project. We will complete it.
“Gas will become a national priority. I envision fertiliser and petrochemical plants, aluminium smelters, methanol plants, all creating jobs for the unemployed while producing goods that booster farming, construction and other industries,” he stated.
Tinubu assured Nigerians, especially the youths that all promises made to ensure a better Nigeria, would be fulfilled
“I will fullfil my promises to you. You are the future of this country. Your dreams will be realised for a stable and united Nigeria
“Our rivals do not have shame. They fight in public. How can they think governance.
“Go to Lagos State and see development and records of beautiful people. Hope is here, development is here, progress is here, Omo-Agege is here and prosperity is here,”‘ he said.
Also speaking, Omo-Agege said that a vote for the APC candidates would bring the much needed development to Delta and Nigeria.
He noted that the Warri Port and Koko Ports wiould be reactivated when he emerged as governor of Delta and Tinubu as president.
“I will go back to him to take a review of the privatisation of the Delta Steel Company, Aladja and full implementation of the Nigeria Maritime University (NMU), Okerenkoko
“I am also commiting to you that the Export Processing Zone (EPZ), Ogidigben will come back to reality.
“I want to appeal to all Deltans, we have our chance to get free of the tyranny of Delta.
“Today, we are blessed by an opponent whose credentials are being debated.
“The current governor wants to market education as a scam. We now have a chance to come out , go to our units and vote out the tyranny of PDP,” Omo-Agege said
Also speaking, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, who spoke in her Itsekiri language, urged the people to vote for APC so they could have one of their own in the corridor of power.
