The Egbema PDP Advocacy Group in Delta State has again called on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to do the needful to address the inexplicable acts of neglect against the Egbema people in Warri North Local Government Area despite their massive support at the polls.
Specifically, the group urged the governor to, as a matter of necessity, adopt what it called “a consensual and inclusive government” motivated by a genuine sense of justice by sending a supplementary budget to the state legislature that will “capture some of the needs of the Egbema Kingdom for the current 2024 fiscal year.
The latest statement from the group is an update on another statement it issued last week alerting the world to the great injustice being suffered particularly by the Ijaw in Warri North, in terms of appointments and government projects.
Nevertheless, it expressed confidence in the ability of the government to address their concerns if the governor summoned the political will.
Though loyal members of the PDP, the group stated that it resorted to public advocacy through “honest and critical view about His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as the PDP governor of Delta State” so as to rouse him into taking the right action the people have long been waiting for.
It has become necessary to speak the mind of their people concerning political appointments and their obvious exclusion from the 2024 Budget of the state.
The restated demand jointly signed by Mr Carson Tarilade, Group Chairman; Mr John Timiyo, Group Secretary and Brandly Coupa, Member, reads below.
“The call for Egbema presence has become necessary and urgent as there is nobody from the kingdom to bring to government attention the suffering and needs of the kingdom. It is unacceptable that there is no single project for the Egbema people in the 2024 Budget.
