Commissioner berates Omo-Agege for attacking gov Ifeanyi

The Commissioner for Information in Delta State, Charles Aniagwu, on Monday, tackled the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for casting aspersions on the State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.

Mr Charles further informed Omo-Agege that relying on blackmail would not take him to Asaba Government House.
Recall that Omo-Agege had accused Okowa’s government of damaging the state economy while describing him as an elected monarch.

The Deputy Senate President had urged members of the All Progressives Congress to chase the Okowa-led Peoples Democratic Party administration out in 2023.

In response to Omo-Agege’s comments, Aniagwu said, “Some persons are hell-bent on distracting the administration of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa but can’t distract us from the focus to develop Delta.

“Just because they want to be governor of this state, insulting people and painting falsehood can never be the vehicle to drive them to house Asaba.

“Criticism is one of the ingredients of any democratic government, however, we welcome constructive criticism.”

Aniagwu stated that the APC did not understand what good governance is all about and did not have the political will to criticize Okowa’s government.

He reiterated that the Okowa government would not slow down projects and “will continue to commission projects till May, 2023.”

In Okowa’s first term, his administration announced the partial privatization of the state-owned Delta Line bus company. At the end of the privatization process, 60% of Delta Line was bought by God is Good Transport Development Company (GTDC) for ₦160 million while 40% remained under the ownership of the Delta State government.
