Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has been slammed by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr. Leonard Odibi, Publicity Secretary of the APC in Delta State stated that: “The manner the state House of Assembly hurriedly approved the N3 billion certificate facility for projects that are already in progress reveals that the governor is desperate and this further shows the shoddy financial planning under him.”
“We are aware that he recently committed the state to an N11 billion contract from a planned total of N30 billion for Asaba drainage.”
“How come he did not make proper provision for it in three years? And if he is unable to pay just N3 billion, where will he get N11 billion from, not to speak of N30 billion?”
“It is sad that like previous governors, he is piling up the indebtedness of the state, which may force him to renege on workers’ salaries and benefits in the future.”
“We believe his plan is to commit Delta State to very huge loans in the near future, but Deltans are watching.”
