Co-ordinator of DSI, Engr. Peter Otomewo in a statement, called on Peoples Democratic Party, PDP delegates across the state to vote en-mass for Sir Obuh, noting that his economic blueprint which will encourage communities to concentrate on their areas of comparative advantage, was also geared towards seeking massive foreign direct investment, FDI, for the development of the state’s agricultural potentials.
DSI said that Obuh’s policy thrust with 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, which vision is to make Delta State a place where all the necessities of life are 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 y 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’s number one job.
