ON LATIMORE OGHENESIVBE'S CLAIM OF SUPPOSED GOOD GOVERNANCE OF GOVERNOR OKOWA - WHO IS DECEIVING WHO

The supposed Good Governance of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, is simply the imagination of Latimore Oghenesivbe, which he wants Deltans to believe. What does he understand by Good Governance? He should define it.
ON LATIMORE OGHENESIVBE'S CLAIM OF SUPPOSED GOOD GOVERNANCE OF GOVERNOR OKOWA - WHO IS DECEIVING WHO?
The supposed Good Governance of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, is simply the imagination of Latimore Oghenesivbe, which he wants Deltans to believe. What does he understand by Good Governance? He should define it.
How can you be postulating that there is good governance when poverty is everywhere in Delta State, pensioners are dying without payments of their gratuities in Delta State, most of the road networks and streets are in unmotorable conditions across the State, State's health sector is still in a deplorable situation, the Osubi-Warri Airstrip has not been upgraded and expanded by Okowa, and all the efforts being put in the Asaba Airport, is not seen in Osubi-Warri Airstrip.
The few roads tarred by Delta State Government are roads leading to PDP Chieftains' homes in the urban areas and home towns, the unemployment is still very high in the State, to the extent that Delta graduates are cruising Keke (Tricycles) and Okada (Motorcycles) just to make ends meet. Then you now have the insecurity situation in Delta State, which has deteriorated to the point where Security Operatives/Police Officers are reported being killed in broad day light and their guns/riffles taken away by unknown gunmen. The list of the issues and problems plaguing the State are just too numerous to mention here. And yet we are now being made to believe that there is so called 'Good Governance.'
Even the so-called Local Government elections in the State are nothing but formalities because there has never been any credible election in the State since the PDP has been in Government from 1999 till date. If it is not the appointment of the so-called Caretaker Committees as Council heads, it is the selective placement of PDP loyalists as Council Chairmen and Councilors, all of whom have become nothing but flunkies of the State Government that are just there to rubber stamp the Governors desires. Yet, we are supposed to have thriving oppositions in the State, since this is supposedly a democracy. Please, let us stop deceiving ourselves and tell ourselves the truth.
All of this is happening because there are no opposition parties in Delta State. The APC in Delta State has not been known to be an opposition party because all their leaders are scared and unwilling to oppose and speak out against the evident bad governance in Delta State under the PDP. The Chieftains of the APC as a supposed opposition party in Delta State, are not even sincere to their ordinary party members. An opposition party in a State, ought to have leaders that are bold and courageous enough to speak out the truth regarding the bad activities of the ruling party in Delta State. But this has not been happening in Delta State.
I would advise Latimore Ogbenesivbe to shut up if he has nothing reasonable to say. He should rather hide his face in shame with his master, Governor Okowa. Development is not mere wishful thinking. It requires deliberate and well-calculated efforts focused solely on improving the lives of the locals, who supposedly elected the Government in the first place. Sadly, that has not been the case in the last more than 20 years of the PDP Government in the State. If there is evidently Good Governance that has positively impacted the populace in Delta State, it is the people that will be singing the Government's praise, and not them blowing their trumpets.
The development we see today in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is seen clearly, hence poeple troop there for vacations and businesses. The leaders of Dubai do not need to make any noise about what they are doing. They allow their achievements in development to speak for itself.
I would also advise Latimore Ogbenesivbe to go to his home village and local Ward, to see the level of poverty and sufferings his people are going through. And not just to remain in Asaba the State Capital with Governor Okowa, and be broadcasting rubbish to the people. He is just playing on the intelligence of his locals who are being misled with such falsehood. It is rather unfortunate that Politicians in the State just pay their aides to write such falsehood. Are the writers and aides not deceiving themselves? They think they are on top, but they are actually at the bottom, fooling themselves.
It is indeed sad that Nigerian politicians don't have any shame, hence they still pay their aides to speak rubbish on their behalf. They forget that the people are very much aware of everything they are doing and not doing in the State. So, who exactly are they trying to deceive with their sham? They are only deceiving themselves, as far as well-meaning Deltans are concerned.
