A group, Delta Democratic Alliance,
DDA has said that the people of Delta state in
particular and Nigerians in general were pleased with the achievements of the
Dr Ifeayin Okowa-led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP administration in the state
in his 100 days in office.
Rising
from a well attended meeting of members and leaders of the group in the
state's commercial nerve centre, Warri, the Director General of the group, Sunday
Onyewonsa, said the meeting was held in what he described as celebration for an
achiever to mark the 100 days in office of the executive governor of the state,
Dr Okowa.
The
group stated that the people of the state were yet to believe that leadership could
be all inclusive, better and focused as being witnessed in the past 100 days of
the current administration noting that there were so many achievements recorded
by by the governor and his team.
From
the appointments of his executive members through his aides to the
reconstitution of the Board of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development
Commission, DESOPADEC , DDA said the governor has shown enough proof of a
visionary leader in the choice of the personalities he appointed.
Onyewonsa
further stated that the governor came hitting the ground running as he
presented four bills in less than one week of his assumption in office to the
State House of Assembly declaring a near emergency in giving face lift to Asaba
as he proposed in one of the bills now signed to law the establishment of State
Capital Development Agency, SCDA the first of its kind in the history of Delta
state.
Within
the period of his 100 days in office according to DDA, Okowa has initiated
"life changing projects" which will certainly impact positively in
the lives of the entire people of the state for a long time to come adding that
the Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurship Programme, YAGEP and Skills Training
and Entrepreneurship Program, STEP are few amongst the projects driven by the
governor to ensure that "prosperity takes the place of poverty in our
state."
Citizens
of the state according to the Ukwani-born group leader can't be happier with
the "ongoing foundation for prosperity" being put in place by the
"peoples' governor" noting that the governor on hearing the
near outbreak of cholera in one of the local government areas in the state
moved all machineries in that direction nipping the menace in the bud in a
record time.
With
Okowa in the saddle, DDA noted that peace is perpetually sustained by his all
inclusive government of the people while he urged the governor to step up
action in turning around the fortunes of the oil-rich state and at the same
time calling on the citizens to rally round the administration for a better
state and people adding that, DDA remains solidly behind the governor and his
team while calling on the opposition parties in the state to join hands to make
the state greater.
