The Deputy Senate President and governorship candidate of APC in Delta state, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has again accused the Ifeanyi Okowa-led administration of squandering N2.8 trillion in Federal Allocation and 13% Derivation in the last seven years, with next to nothing to show.

This is even as he expressed concern over years of injustice meted out to oil-bearing communities in the state, which bear the brunt of oil prospecting in the state.

Senator Omo-Agege spoke in Otor-Owhe, Delta State, on Wednesday when he visited traditional rulers in Isoko land to intimate them of his governorship aspiration and promised to complete the Ughelli/Asaba Road when elected as governor.

The event which was held at the palace of Odiologbo Okpuzo Romanus Inana, at Otor-Owhe Kingdom, Isoko North Local Government Area of the state, was graced by royal fathers from the 19 Isoko clans including the Odio-Ologbo of Oleh Kingdom and Chairman, Isoko Traditional Council of Traditional Rulers, Anthony Ovrawah, Omogha I, amongst others.

The lawmaker decried the neglect of the Isoko people despite being the goose that lays the golden egg.

He accused the Ifeanyi Okowa-led administration of squandering N2.8 trillion in Federal allocation and 13% derivation in the last seven years.
