All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Isoko federal constituency, Sylvester Onoyona, has urged Delta people to ensure they vote out the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the next election as the state marks 30 years.
Onoyona, in a congratulatory message, themed: Congratulations to my Deltans, said the misfortunes of the oil-rich state stems from the stranglehold of the PDP on the destiny of the 31-year-old multi lingual.
He said since the advent of democracy in 1999, the PDP has grossly mismanaged the state making it a cash-cow for the party leaders both in and outside the state. He said the 13 per cent derivation accruals to the state was enough to develop the state, stressing that to exit poverty occasioned by corruption and what he described as gross maladministration is for Deltans to overwhelmingly vote out the PDP.
He said the APC offers an alternative to the PDP with quality leadership and service delivery to the people of Nigeria as he called on Deltans to vote for the candidates of the broom party from top to bottom, adding that with the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory at the centre and Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, at the state, with all the three senatorial candidates winning while he clinches the Isoko federal constituency, and others at the election, the ugly narratives of the state will automatically be eroded with the zeal and energy that will greet their assumption of offices.
“Our state capital has been turned to a glorified village by successive PDP governments, health sector is crippled and so on. The APC is poised to exit our people from abject poverty and despondency,” Onoyona said.
