Uduaghan is tackling insecurity, says group

A group, ‘The People’s Movement’, has said that Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan is tackling insecurity in the state, contrary to the claims by critics of the administration.

The group urged the governor to deepen democracy by fortifying the democratic institutions.

The group’s Director of Communications, Mrs. Ibifuro Tatua, said in a statement that the allegations of aiding and abetting the kidnapping of judges in the state was false.

She said: “In a country where some governors recklessly abandon their responsibilities to the people, abuse their offices through ostentatious lifestyles, amid mass poverty, Uduaghan has made a difference by redeeming his campaign promises to the electorate”.

The group warned those peddling rumours against the governor to desist from their nefarious activities.

Tatua added: “Leaders at whatever level must demonstrate a certain degree of decency and exemplary conduct. Desperate politicians; those without ideas and goodwill, are running away from the real issues and resorting to character assassination and personal abuse.

“These people, mainly elders and politicians, are not united by the common desire to move Delta State forward, but to bring down Governor Uduaghan”.

The group extolled the virtues of the governor, describing him as an excemplary leader.

Tatua stressed: “We know that posterity will be on the governor’s side. On assumption of office, Uduaghan promised to leave indelible and enduring legacies.This promise has translated into a lot of viable projects. He has moved in to wipe the tears of the people.

“Apart from the renovation of primary and secondary schools, the government has awarded scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students in local and foreign universities.

“Delta State Oil Producing Area Development Commission has so far completed 790 projects. The projects completed include school buildings, water schemes, hospitals and health centres.
