[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ur attention has been drawn to a media attack in the various forum by the ignoble Dr Charles Olisa.In the said publication, the supposed Dr Charles Olisa now turned political errand boy of Delta State PDP and a serial betrayer, appeared to be urging the Senator representing Delta North, Most Distinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi (SPON) to render quality representation to Ndokwa nation.
Ordinarily, we would have dismissed the vituperation of Dr Charles Olisa as outburst of a retardant, but we are inadvertently taken aback that the expression of his ignorance that Most Distinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi (SPON) has attracted over 400 developmental projects to Anioma nation through NDDC, which is a master class performance by Senator Nwaoboshi who was honoured recently by Association of Community(GRASSROOTS)Newspaper Publishers in Delta State as the Best performing Anioma Senator of all time.
It would be foolhardy to join issues with Charles Olisa a sacked banker and a serial betrayer by nature,Deltans cannot forget in a hurry how Charles Olisa betrayed Olorogun O’tega Emerhor after all that he did for him. Olisa has betrayed his social reputation by insinuating in that publication that SPON did not distribute the said projects across Delta North Senatorial District,it is on record that the most strategic and highly valued projects in the amalgam of over 400 projects (according to Dr Olisa)influenced by Senator Nwaoboshi into Anioma Nation is the Federal University of Agriculure and Technology, FUATA,Aboh located in Ndokwa East, a rich oil, gas and electric power generating region.SPON initiated and sponsored this bill in the Senate which has since been passed. The Federal House of Representatives has concurred with this SPON’s initiative by passing this FUATA Bill which now awaits the President’s assent.
Yet, painful to most Ndokwa stakeholders is the fact that the state government told the Ndokwa Nation that despite their rich oil, gas and electric power plant resources that there is no money to fund the Aboh Polytechnic, as approved by PDP under Governor Uduaghan, yet the state government established three higher institutions in the state: The Advanced Teachers Institute; the Federal Road Safety Institute and the University of Agbor Campus – all with billions of Naira worth of state of the art landmark buildings with equipment already constructed and delivered,but ranting Olisa could not speak for the Ndokwa nation because he has sold his conscience against his Ndokwa people because he is presently in the payroll of God-knows-who, and falsely attacked SPON ingloriously for sponsoring a bill, which is successful at the Senate to establish FUATA.
First and foremost, there is no comparison between the massive road infrastructural revolution, renovation of Primary and Secondary Schools,massive supply of chairs and tables to schools and solar light in Ndokwa Nation as experienced under the Most Distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi.The Proactive representation by SPON against the 16 years record of ‘lukewarmness and insensitivity’ by the Senators of that era to provide for the Ndokwa’s their decades-old yearnings of a higher Institution be tagged as a poor representation of Ndokwa land by SPON as asserted by his political opponents and bribe induced political BETRAYER.
Even if Dr Charles Olisa is blinded by his card carrying status as a new member of the shattered Peoples Demoracatic Party (PDP), he can attest at least to the fact that over 400 marathon projects attracted by Most Distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi in less than six years are signature projects not only in Ndokwa nation but also in all the five local government areas of Delta North.
No doubt, the emptiness of ideas and vague thoughts in the expression of Charles Olisa shows that clearly has been overwhelmed by the beehive of activities of our Super Senator who brought glory, equity distribution of Dividends of Democracy to the good people of Delta North.May we remind a distasteful people like Charles Olisa that six years down the line, besides massive roads infrastructure to boost high economic activities in the Delta North, Most Distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi has gradually but steadily both the healthcare and education sectors, both in infrastructure and human capital development, with training, expansion policies as well as regular supportive activities on health and educational facilities in Delta North.
Since SPON became Anioma Senator, we are experiencing changes in terms of development. The list goes on because he has touched all sectors. I am sure, by the grace of God, by the time SPON leaves office, His after story will live after him and his children.”
The list of Nwaoboshi’s impact to Anioma development is endless. One very significant legacy is the Federal University of Agriculure and Technology,Aboh at the public hearing of FUATA, held in Abuja at the Senate on the 29th of July, 2021, the Ndokwa Neku Union (NNU) President and mouthpiece of Ndokwa Nation referred to SPON as the political ‘Jesus’ of the Ndokwa nation for his selfless initiative in sponsoring the FUATA bill.
From the forgoing, we expected Dr Charles Olisa who appears to have no defence to the abysmal performance of his paymasters in Ndokwa nation since 2015 till date,How appropriate can we explain to people like Dr Charles Olisa whose right sense of reasoning seems to have failed.In his effort to play to the gallery,we have expected the malignant Dr Charles Olisa to provide answer to the reason why the state government refused to fund Aboh Polytechnic approved by PDP under Governor Uduaghan?” Who is deceiving who?
Apparently, it is very evident in his incoherent and disjointed expressions of the press statement that Dr Charles Olisa’s claim that SPON does not have constituency projects in Ndokwa land and other NDDC projects were almost non-existent in the Ndokwa Land, are only uttered out of the figment of his imagination.
For emphasis, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi has demonstrated clear visionary leadership since he became senator in 2015 till date. He has demonstrated transparency and proactive representation which has enabled him achieve so much in the overall development of Delta North to the shame of past predecessors that failed woefully as Anioma Senators, Nwaoboshi has proven beyond any doubt that he is a man of integrity who can be trusted with the mandate of the people of Delta North and beyond.
