A BUNCH OF SHAMELESS POLITICIANS URHOBO HAS

A BUNCH OF SHAMELESS POLITICIANS URHOBO HAS

Effurun-Sapele-Benin Road which is a federal highway has become the worst federal road in the country. It takes a full day journey on vehicle from Effurun to Benin, a road that should be driven by motorists within one hour but now takes a full day journey. 

 

Senator Ede Dafinone and his supporters are always in the social media campaigning why Dafinone should be reelected Senator representing Delta Central (Urhobo) for him to complete two tenures. What about other Urhobo politicians representing their constituencies in House of Representatives?

 

Dafinone and co think that to represent people is to appear on social media to campaign without any development. I still recall Ede Dafinone who accompanied Senator Natasha to commission constituency projects in Kogi state weeks before she was suspended. 

 

So Ede Dafinone didn't learn anything from his colleague, Natasha who is also a first timer and spent few months in the Senate due to her prolonged election matter that she won when other Senators had already resumed. 

 

Within a short time of coming in, Natasha delivered constituency projects that we have never seen before in the history of Nigeria. 

 

Very shameful that the only road leading to Ede's hometown of Sapele is bad. What about the Osubi Airstrip in his constituency that has been neglected. Osubi needs upgrade and expansion of its RUNWAY to enable big aircrafts land and take off. 

 

Minister Keyamo, Aviation minister is also a native of Ephron (Effurun) city of Uvwie LG few kilometers from Osubi Airstrip. Governor Oborevwori is also a native of Osubi Town. Oborevwori, Dafinone and Keyamo prefer to use Asaba Airport to board flights while Osubi Airstrip is unattended to. 

 

Keyamo had made many failed promises on Osubi Airstrip Runway expansion/upgrade and should be ashamed of self.

 

The Effurun-Osubi-Orerokpe-Eku-Abraka road has collapsed, abandoned. In Avwraka (Abraka) the road has completely divided into two at the main Town junction. This road is a Delta state road and not federal.

 

When you write the watchdogs of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori will label you cyber bullying perpetrator. The other day I wrote on Oborevwori's poor handling of Warri crises and one of his media aides called to tell me that I am committing cyber bullying offence. 

 

Any administration that is scared of constructive criticism has failed. You don't expect a man of my age to praise public office holders for practically doing nothing. I will continue to advocate for the good of the people no matter who and what is involved. 

 

Let them continue with their new language of cyber stalking and cyber bullying. Who is cyber bullying who? Those telling lies about performance without performing are the problems of any administration.

 

The popular Udu-Ughievwem Road is very bad until few days ago they are patching some sections of the road. Udu-Ughievwem Road connecting Warri- Enerhen-Udu-Ughievwen down to NEPA ought to be made a dual carriage way. 

 

The traffic on this road is much. Those going to Bayelsa and Port Harcourt from Udu and Ughelli South ply this route. Rep Francis 

Waive is always on the social media praising self for federal medical centre in Udu that has only a sign post to show for it at the moment.

 

Waive who is representating Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu is not bothered. Francis Waive who is recently taking the supposed role of public relations officer of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has nicknamed Oborevwori as road master whereas there is no good motorable road to his hometown of Obi-Ayagha.  

 

These are the bunch of shameless politicians we have in Delta Central.
