The eight years that Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), served as governor of Anambra State without completing a single legacy project, have been characterized as a monumental waste by the Delta State chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barr. Kingsley Esiso.
The announcement was made by the leader of the Delta State PDP at the opening ceremony of the fourth Delta State Communication Workshop (DELCOM) in Asaba, which was put on by the office of Barr. Fred Latimore, the executive assistant to the governor of Delta State for communications.
Esiso lauded Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta State and vice presidential candidate for the PDP, for having performed admirably over the course of the previous seven years. He challenged Obi’s followers to name one legacy project by the former governor of Anambra State.
Esiso urged Nigerians to reject the Obi movement’s empty rhetoric and support Senator Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, respectively, who he said are qualified, experienced, and educated to lead Nigeria back to the path of economic recovery, growth, guaranteed security, and sustainable development.
