The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State and the administration of Elder Sheriff Oborevwori are too busy to be distracted by the antics of an idle rabble rouser.
Engr. Dan Ossai, PDP, state secretary, in a press statement made abaiable to Fidelitynews, in reaction to yet another diatribe titled, “OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A ‘One Chance’ Governor, By one Zik Gbemre,” stated that PDP will, however, not fold its hands and allow the said Zik Gbemre to mislead the public with his deceptive and distorted propaganda and falsehood about the activities of the administration of Sheriff Oborevwori.
He also said, PDP is standing strong with its achieving Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in his effort to deliver on the mission of advancing Delta State, through the value embedded in the M.O.R.E. Agenda of the administration in Delta.
He added the resolve of the administration is to remain focused in seeing the delivery of its campaign promises to Deltans, rather than be diverted by an ordinary loafer.
According to the press statement, Engr. Osssai said, the Governor of a State and his administration would not waste precious time in responding to this obvious display of irresponsibility and rabblerousing, adding that Zik Gbemre has still to come to terms that Nigeria is a democratic society where political parties field candidates for elective positions.
Otherwise, he would this position that led him to write that; “It is a deliberate conspiracy to impose a mediocre Governor over the far better contenders shoved aside to enthrone Oborevwori.”
” And we ask: Did Zik Gbemre’s “far better contenders” contest election primary or not? All his “far better contenders” were subsequently and finally routed at the polls as they were rejected by the good people of Delta State in favour of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.
In the statement, he declared; “It’s clear that Zik Gbemre is yet to over come the terrible defeat that his “far better contenders” suffered at the hands of PDP and Sheriff Oborevwori. He is still amazed and dazed.
The press statement reads in part, “Zik Gbemre told a lie when he wrote about the Governor being anonymous about Okuama. The man of mischief, who creates dreams by imagination will not tell his paymasters that Governor Oborevwori called the leaders of Okuama and Okoloba communities where they signed a treaty to maintain peace and order. Zik Gbemre lacks the courage to bring this to the knowledge of his paymasters, the ones for whom he plays the goon.
“The tragedy that Zik Gbemre represents is the fact that he wants Governor Oborevwori to raise an army to go and challenge officers of the Nigerian Army who received the consent of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to carry out the operation in Okuama. Governor Oborevwori can be the Chief Security Officer of Delta State, but is he the Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces?
” Does Oborevwori as Governor or even other Governors in Nigeria for that matter, have control over the police commands in their States? If the Commissioner of Police in Delta State could not enter Okuama because the Army was carrying out operations in the community, does Zik Gbemre think that Governor Oborevwori is a fatalist like himself?
“To further underscore the false impression that the dunce is trying to create, is the ignorance he is feigning about the huge construction work to transform Warri and environs that the administration of Governor Oborevwori is doing having signed the N78 billion contract as a result of which Julius Berger’s caterpillars and other construction equipments are at work, even as we write this rejoinder”.
PDP state secretary said, Governor Oborevwori has, time without number, stated that he is Governor for all Deltans and he is walking his talk. All the projects and all his other doings are in the interest and for the benefit of Deltans and residents. Therefore, no amount of falsehood spiced with blackmail by a simpleton and his cohorts can derail or divert the attention, focus and determination the Delta State Governor and his administration, from delivering the MORE Agenda to Deltans.
Therefore, our position is that, Zik Gbemre should refrain from living in fool’s paradise but get conversant with the all time truth that Delta State is PDP and PDP is Delta State.
