Erstwhile Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon.
Monday Ovwigho Igbuya, has condemned as a show of shame and embarrassment, the
nonchalant attitude of Governor Okowa to the plight of workers in the State
saying the ugly development and deliberate refusal to ameliorate the plight of
workers and pensioners in the state brings to question Okowa's commitment to
democracy, unity and the stability of the state.
Igbuya said the disgraceful act is a direct consequence of
Governor Okowa's lack of leadership credentials to steer the state properly and
encourage the people to be productive.
Igbuya, in a statement through his Media Aide, Henry
Ebireri, said “the inability of Governor Okowa to ameliorate the plight of
workers in the state is a big setback for him and the PDP and I cannot
guarantee his return to Government House if this ugly situation persists."
Igbuya said what Deltans are witnessing in the state right
now clearly underscores the fact that Okowa lacks the requisite ideas to move
Delta state forward and instead of focusing on how to save himself from woeful
failure in 2019, he's busy setting up contraptions to enable him pocket the
Legislature, an independent arm of government as a way to further cover his
lack of ideas for governance.
On the issue of his impeachment, Igbuya, who was absent from
a mega rally of the party in Sapele Stadium on Friday June 23 2017, also
alerted that report available to him shows that “the lawmakers who signed his
impeachment ostensibly acted on instructions from the Governor, a clear
indication that Governor Okowa was largely an interested party whose
involvement was beyond mere body language”.
Igbuya said the dishonorable conduct from the unruly
lawmakers in acting out the script did not come to him as a surprise given that
they are bred and nurtured under a political platform that lacks discipline and
thrives on cheating and misguided loyalty as an unwritten manifesto.
“I want to tell you categorically that the onus lies on
Governor Okowa to ensure that all democratic institutions in Delta state are harnessed
for effectiveness, a responsibility he has obviously abdicated by allowing his
personal interest to instigate division in the House of Assembly, a tendency
that poses great threat to the survival of our democracy and the stability of
the State", he added.
