Delta APC Slams State Government Over Claims of Infrastructural Development

The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticized the state government’s claims of improved infrastructural development under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

The condemnation follows comments by the Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu, who stated that the governor would respond to critics by showcasing his “legacy projects.”

In a statement, APC State Publicity Secretary Valentine Onojeghuo urged the commissioner to adopt a more constructive approach to criticism instead of dismissing legitimate concerns with what he described as “empty assurances.”

Onojeghuo argued that the government had access to significant financial resources but had failed to deliver tangible benefits for the people of Delta State.

“This is a laughable attempt to deflect attention from the growing concerns of Deltans about the state’s developmental trajectory.

It is not only misleading but also a futile effort to distract the public from the urgent issues affecting the state,” the statement read.

He highlighted various challenges facing the state, including inadequate infrastructure and limited economic opportunities for youths, asserting that Governor Oborevwori’s administration had failed to deliver impactful initiatives despite its “MORE agenda” mantra.

“Not surprisingly, instead of formulating innovative policies and ideas to address the critical challenges confronting the state’s crumbling infrastructure and job creation, Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration has become increasingly deceptive, hiding behind vague and grandiose promises of future projects rather than taking concrete action today,” Onojeghuo added.

The APC spokesperson singled out the Effurun Flyover as the only visible project of the current administration but argued that one project was insufficient to address the needs of the state.

“Apart from the Effurun Flyover project, which every government media hireling now gleefully points to at any given opportunity, Governor Oborevwori’s administration has failed to deliver any other meaningful projects.

This continues to raise serious concerns among the people of Delta State, who are desperate for real developmental changes,” Onojeghuo concluded.
