Delta State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has assured the people of Ndokwa East Local Government Area that the proposed Federal University of Agriculture would certainly be established in Aboh.
During a campaign rally at Aboh town, in continuation of the APC ward-to-ward campaigns on Saturday, Omo-Agege, who is also the Deputy President of the Senate, said that the bill proposing the establishment of the university has been passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives, awaiting assent by President Muhammadu Buhari.
He lamented the neglect of the area by the Ifeanyi Okowa-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration and promised to remedy the situation when elected governor.
“All the wickedness of Okowa and his administration will stop on election day. When I see your sufferings, the criminal neglect and pains imposed on you by Okowa, I shed tears. I know how much you contribute to the State and nation’s economy yet when Okowa wants to make decisions on infrastructure development, he neglects Ndokwa East.
“In the entire Ndokwa nation there is no higher institution because of his wickedness and hatred for the Ndokwa people. Even when he established three new universities in Delta State, he did not consider the Ndokwa nation.
“Let me assure you that the days of your sufferings are over. We will ensure that the Federal University of Agriculture, and other amenities, are established here. My administration will bring a smile to your faces”, Omo-Agege said.
Earlier, the Ndokwa East Local Government Council Chairman of the APC, Chief Austin Ogbolu thanked Omo-Agege for his effort to establish the university, stating that the huge crowd at the rally was an expression of the people’s appreciation for the feat, and pledged to reciprocate the gesture at the polls.
Also, the APC candidate for the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Tony Amaechi Ndanenu said that the 2023 general elections “is an opportunity to correct everything wrong that Okowa and PDP have done to us”, and assured of total support for all candidates of the APC at the polls.
At Ashaka and Ossisa, Omo-Agege once again thanked the people of Ndokwa East for their contribution to the development of Nigeria through oil and gas production.
“This local government is ours so we have no need to campaign here. Thanks for what you have done, and for what you’re about to do. We know the contributions of Ndokwa East to the economy of Nigeria. This is the time to reject PDP outright. You have done a lot for Nigeria and Delta State. It is time to reap the benefits of your sacrifice”, he said.
