SOME workers in Delta State comprised of civil servants and their counterparts in private sector under the aegis Concerned Progressive Workers for Good Governance, have endorsed the candidacy of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Gubernatorial candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege. The workers endorsed the APC gubernatorial candidate at a one-day interactive section which held in Asaba weekend.
The workers bypassed a resolution to adopt Omo-Agege as the next Governor of Delta State because of his unprecedented achievements at the Senate that benefited the entire State. The leader of the group, Festus Doghene said “Your Excellency, Elections are won by marketing choice candidacy to the people. On behalf of the entire Civil Servants, Public Servants and Private Workers in Delta State, we want to assure you of our massive votes in the March 11 Governorship election in the State.
“The noble projects you have attracted to the State in your short stay at the Senate tell us that your candidacy will not only revive moribund industries in the State but would establish more and we also know that you will be workers friendly governor”. Another worker, Ochei Chike, said “Governor Ifeanyi Okowa-led government is at war with civil servants in the State and as a result decided to punish workers with hardships.
“You can see that despite the intimidation, victimization warnings and threat by the governor and his cronies to Delta state civil servants from attending this Town Hall Meeting with you, civil servants and other workers in the State ignored the treat and came out en mass to interact with you and your entourage”. The workers pledged to vote for the APC candidate because of the maltreatment civil servants are receiving from the PDP-led State Government.
