Gubernatorial candidate of Republican Party of Nigeria, RPN, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege has strongly criticized the educational and health policies of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, describing it as pretentious publicist policies.
The RPN gubernatorial candidate, who was Secretary to Delta State government under Chief James Ibori’s administration after Uduaghan resigned to pursue his gubernatorial ambition in 2007, accused Uduaghan government of “giving Deltans the orange peels instead of the orange fruit”. Barr. Omo-Agege who spoke at JF Kennedy playground in Effurun, Delta State on the occasion of his formal declaration as RPN gubernatorial candidate in Delta rerun election, declared that Dr. Uduaghan’s administration couldn’t have claimed to offer Deltans free education when “only examination fees are paid without school uniforms and basic textbooks which the government can easily afford”. According to him, a situation where only pregnant women get treated for a few weeks before delivery cannot be described as free health services. Barr. Omo-Agege who was until recently a strong PDP member queried the Uduaghan administration for excluding youth, ladies and working class of Delta State in “the so called free health” services.
He explained that if given the mandate, his principles will be hinged on accountability, responsiveness, fairness and equity, responsibility as well as an all inclusive team spirit.
