- Vows to block leakages in IGR
The chairmanship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for Ughelli North Local Government Area in the forth coming Council elections in Delta State, Olorogun Jaro Egbo has promised to spend the resources of the council wisely to make the people happy.
He kicked off his campaigns on Thursday, with a determination to give a face lift to Ughelli North Local Government Area.
Egbo visited Orogun and Agbarha wards, where he reiterated his resolve to reinforce the MORE Agenda of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in the council.
He solicited for the support and votes of the people at the polls, slated for July, 2024.
“We have already drawn the metropolitan map of Ughelli North, it is no longer the Ughelli Urban because there is no difference between Ughelli and the Agbarha, and Ogor as they make up the metropolis and we will ensure we maintain a clean environment.
“Our primary schools need encouragement because that is the foundation for all of us and we will ensure that the teachers are given adequate motivation and properly checked.
“We will encourage our people to go back to farming, it is scandalous in a local government where we have a very big landmass,we are buying garri for N4,000, we will support them with whatever we do.
“We encourage our people to vote massively for the party because our governor and the party aredoing well and we will continue to do well”.
According to him, “One of three key objectives we have is cleanliness, if you look at the council you can see it is very dirty and we are going to embark on serious environmental sanitation.
“On shoring up our internally generated revenue, we have found out that the monies are going into private pockets compared to what is going into our treasury and we will put a stop to that.
“The highest among all we have listed is security, we are going to ensure there is the security of lives, properties. We want to do away with kidnappings in working with the state government, the Nigeria Police, and all the security agencies to ensure that people are secured.
” Once the people are secured, businesses will boom and when businesses boom the people will live well”
” Hopefully and by the grace of God, when I come into the council,I will do things differently as my hope and aspiration are different from others”
“I am not a starter, I have been around politics and there are things I think I don’t need to to struggle for anymore because I have already gotten them because God has had given me.
