Speaking on Tuesday night on a radio platform, Politics, on Trend FM in
Asaba, the former lawmaker who is now a member of the All Progressives
Congress, noted that Okowa had failed to deliver on his campaign
promises owing to “lack of vision and planning.”
Ochei, who came third in the Peoples
Democratic Party’s governorship primaries in 2014 where Okowa emerged
the candidate of the party, said the PDP lost at the centre in 2015
owing to the glaring impunity and failure to deliver on its campaign
promises.

He noted that despite the apology of the
PDP, Nigerians would still choose the ruling APC over any other
political party for steadily steering the country on the path of
economic diversification particularly in the area of agriculture.

Ochei said, “This government (Okowa’s
regime) is the worst ever in the history of Delta State. This government
is a massive failure. The Okowa-led government is an abysmal failure
and I make bold to say it. I challenge them to name their star projects
and where they are located?

“I served under Governor Emmanuel
Uduaghan. I can tell you that there are a lot of star projects during
the administration. Under Uduaghan, the Asaba airport was started and
completed, the Ughelli/Asaba Road dualisation was done and the
Government House Asaba was started and completed. With all their
so-called experience, we have the worst administration in Delta.

“This government lacks planning. For
the avoidance of doubt, Dr. Okowa was part of the previous
administrations and knew the policies and strides. Did he plan on how to
ensure security and welfare of Deltans? The answer is No!”

Efforts to speak with the Chief Press Secretary to Okowa, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, were unsuccessful.
It was gathered that Aniagwu was attending a town hall meeting with the
governor in Koko, the headquarters of Warri North Local Government.
