How Obuh will tackle over-dependence on oil – DSI

Amid the growing anxiety over the downward slide in the price of crude oil at the International Market, a Delta based political pressure group, Delta Successor Initiative, DSI has rolled out strategies on how Delta guber hopeful, Sir Tony Chuks Obuh will create non-oil based wealth and open up the economic frontiers of Delta State.

Co-ordinator of DSI, Engr. Peter Otomewo in a statement made available to newsmen in Warri, called on PDP delegates across the state to vote emasse for Sir Tony Obuh, stressing that his economic blueprint which will encourage communities to concentrate on their areas of comparative advantage, is also geared towards seeking massive Foreign Direct Investment, FDI, for the development of the state’s agricultural potentials.

According to DSI, Obuh’s policy thrust as a result of his vast experience in government as a technocrat will “focus on strategic agricultural production and support across the value chain through agro-business market identification and entry strategies, expert promotion and market development, agricultural extension and farming, including storage, processing, packaging as well as transformation of fresh and perishable produce to minimize post harvest losses.”

DSI, a trans ethnic Delta political pressure group whose vision is geared towards making Delta State a place where all the necessities of life is abundant for all, enjoined delegates in the forthcoming PDP gubernatorial primaries, to be guided by the principles of equity, fairness and justice in choosing the party governorship candidate, insisting that only Tony Obuh from Delta North Senatorial District has the pedigree to change the economic fortunes of Delta State.  

The group stressed that in-line with the principle of equity and the PDP policy of power rotation and sharing, the next governor of Delta State need to come out from the Anioma axis since Delta Central and South Senatorial Districts have had their taste of the State plum job.

Investigation reveals that the group was formed by young men and women across the 25 local government areas of Delta State who have a burning desire to know and study all aspirants to the office of the governor of Delta State and it was gathered that they are also saddled with the responsibility of monitoring all electoral activities in the State.
