A governorship aspirant under the Action Democratic Party(ADP) Comrade Frank Ufuoma Esanubi has said that in order to check rigging of elections in Delta state, he plans to deploy modern technology including drones to monitor the 2019 elections
Comrade Esanubi who spoke to journalists in Warri to outline his plans for Delta state said he would introduce various innovations to jump start economic development of the state saying it was time for Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa and others like him to retire, having been in government for over 16 years with nothing to show for it, resulting to massive unemployment and infrastructural decay
He blamed past PDP government in the state for neglecting economic development while making politics the largest employer of labour with the state governor along having over 200 aides. Comrade Esanubi promised to reorganize and make efficient, the airports in Asaba, Warri as well as upgrade the educational sector.
According to him, he will also identified the comparative advantage of each local government area and efficiently develop these areas while cooperating with relevant authorities to ensure early dredging of the Delta ports as well as address the security challenges to reduce the cost of berthing at the Delta ports
In his website, Comrade Esanubi said:
“I have a firm conviction within me that we cannot all give up on the future of our homeland. In that we have not inherited the earth from our fathers but have borrowed it from our children, we need to leave our communities better than we met it by contributing our own quota to the development of the nation, wherever we find ourselves. We are collectively worse off when we try to be individually better off.
‘The evident frustration and loss of faith in “Project Nigeria” is due to persistent and successive maladministration by the political class. Many Nigerians are risking their lives daily travelling through the hostile Sahara Desert and tempestuous Mediterranean Sea just to escape the hopelessness that shrouds this country despite its abundant wealth of resources. Those in the middle to upper class continue to send their children to be educated outside our shores and follow suit by relocating to live abroad. We cannot solve the problem by running away from it but rather we must rise to the challenge of making our country great again.
‘As is said, charity begins at home, I have decided to contribute my quota by providing purposeful, focused and accountable leadership to the people of Delta state. While the task ahead is indeed enormous, they are certainly surmountable and with God on our side we shall surely succeed!
“I am beckoning a new dawn in Delta state and do solemnly promise to be the change agent as we tackle the challenges together.”
