The Governor Oborevwori administration in Delta State has said it will not allow idle politicians to continue to paint pictures that were at variance with the reality on ground in order to mislead the people of the state.
The administration said while it will continue to reply critics with projects across the state, it would not also allow certain idle politicians to continue progressing in error, by exposing their ignorance to the workings of government.
The Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, disclosed this during a press conference in Asaba on Monday.
Aniagwu said some persons who have been in government before either because they do not have appointment at the moment, were continuously progressing in error by looking for who to deceive.
He was reacting to comments made by the former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege during a visit to Bomadi and Burutu Local Government Areas of the state.
The commissioner said the opposition should be able to show some element of patriotism in identifying what government is doing, and not to tell lies that make them look uninformed.
“At the weekend, we saw the former Deputy President of the Senate, a man Governor Oborevwori defeated roundly in the last election, accusing our government of neglecting the people of Southern and Northern Senatorial Districts.
“Starting from the Southern Senatorial District, in Isoko South, we have a good number of roads that we are constructing, and in Isoko North, we have the Southern Delta University, located in Ozoro, and you can see the amount of structures we are building there.
“We have also continued efforts to ensure that the Technical College in Irri is completed in good time. The College of Health Technology, Ovrode if you go there now, you will see the speed at which we are going on with that project.
“The Ughelli-Asaba Road which cuts across the three senatorial districts is also receiving serious attention and in Patani, we are working on Uduophori Road, schools, water projects are ongoing and if you move from there towards Bomadi, you will see that the Ohoror – Bomadi Road which is about 47km is ongoing.
