The Delta state governorship candidate for Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi has carefully read in between lines, the activities of government in the affairs of the state since 1999 and has categorically put it to the past and present government of Delta state as the architect of the problems of state backwardness.
Gbagi has blamed Deltans for been naive in their choice of governors. He thereby encourage Deltans to put aside the quest for what to eat just for today but think ahead of their future and choose one true leader whose intention will be genuine to develop Delta state for good and avoid cabals whose intentions are to kill Delta inorder to achieve their own selfish desires.
This Gbagi disclosed at his recent chat with Arise TV during the launch of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) party’s National Secretariat at the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Abuja.
The former Minister of State Education, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi went further to trash issues concerning governance and industrialisation as it affects Delta state and the way forward.
In his statement he expressed, “As we know when things in Delta state as part of the country took the dimension that is expected of in any nation, I would have been the last person to want to run for governorship but unfortunately all the trials, the support we have had as a state is one that has left us with more sorrow, more backwardness, lack of opportunities and hopelessness. The Singular reason I have decided to put myself forward to govern the people, come 2023.
“The honest truth about it, is that it is achievable, what is lacking largely in Delta state before now is honesty, the people does not believe anymore in governance. The issue is this, take what I have done in Delta state as an industrialist, as a private investor, I have removed people from poverty to at least to source of livelihood.
“Put it this way, if you take Sapele for instance, Sapele has major industries that are synonymous to them. We have the flour mill in Sapele, the shoe factory, betamin in Sapele, cement factory in Sapele too, all of these businesses have died. And what we need to do is to bring partners and then you ask yourself how are my going to do it!
“I resonate as the only black man in the entire world to an AKS member of Rotary club just the fact that everybody knows that, Kenneth Gbagi is honest, will not play wrong or do it wrongly, the singular fact that everybody knows Kenneth Gbagi will not do it wrongly that is hope and that is what we need.
“Just the fact that everybody knows I will bring security within the first one week of my being a governor, things will change for better. It is all about the personality involved, what you have done before not what you will do now. I have done it in my private life and I believe strongly given the opportunity Delta state have had and been confronted with, It will be a win-win situation and I have over six sea ports to use for that.
“Take issue of cucumber, if I were to just take one Local government area and give cucumber to them to produce in millions and then we sell to our people, our country then we export, take cocoa, cocoa port is rottening away, we have one of the best cocoa port in the country.
“The entire port business when the ports were been created, it was divided that, things to come to the Southern part of Nigeria will definitely come through Warri and all of that, the reason the Lagos sea port have all destroyed the roads because the volume of traffic cannot have be controlled and was not prepared for but that wouldn’t ve been the case, if Warri ports are working well.
“So it is knowing what to do, you must have an entrepreneur mindset. In the last how many years of this government, particularly in the last 7 years, no single proper industry has come to play. We are even doing plantation, what is your plan, every year for instance just from collecting mangoes, oranges, pineapples which are now been destroyed, I will count them and put them into use, processed and send them all over the world.
“Look at rice, if you go to Isoko area of the state, it is one that is good to produce one of the best and finest uncle Ben’s rice in the world, we know what to do and we can turn it around.
“One of the plans I have, I will gainfully engage all the youths in Delta state by paying them a token of N30,000 each whilst this money is been paid within 3 months.
“We will gainfully engage them into industries, cottage businesses and then start getting them ready to be released from the payment of N30,000 which we will start them with because people have been driven into hunger and poverty.
“Look at the glass factory, if you take Ughelli South alone we can build 25 massive industries to produce, glass, bottles, screen of cars, flower vases, plates which have clay. We have enough in Delta, if any state is endowed it is ours. all we need to do is to segment all the LGA to produce one major industry or the other in the first one year of my government.
“We have started already with the plans, we have started talking to people on our plan, we have come for survey because we don’t want to get into government and start making plans because we know the state very well so we will start engaging people to look at what is best per Local Government Area.
“I can tell you for sure that way, let the 25 Local Government Area in the state be gainfully engaged, my youths will be out of the street.Â
“Once I properly engage my youths, I can tell you that this will be the beginning of greatness for the state. The state has been completely disused, people has not been giving the right opportunity and we are saying we can do it.
To this end, the top industrialist, Kenneth Gbagi also gave reasons for veying for the governorship position as one who is qualified, knows the problem and how to solve the problem of state as Delta state since 1999 has not been fortunate to have a true qualified leader with the mindset of an entrepreneur whose priority is to put industries, revive moribund companies and fix the seaports which will actually create development with enough jobs that will truely engage youths, women in the state to avoid insecurity, unemployment, poverty, untimely death of pensioners which is the talk of the day in Delta state and Nation as a whole.
We only have one opportunity to make it right, get your pvcs to vote right!
