As reactions continue to trail the dissolution of the Delta State Executive Cabinet by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, youths were drawn from Ogwashi-Uku, Headquarters of the Aniocha-South Local Government Area of the State have decried the long absence of inclusiveness in governance despite its majority voting strength in the Delta North Senatorial District.
The group is appealing for more of their youths Involvement in governance when reconstituting a new cabinet and are also demanding the execution of more government projects in the local government area.
Residents of Ogwashi-Uku are known for active voting during the general elections, but the youths believe that more of the government’s presence in the area of road construction was still needed, particularly the Agidi-Asei to Agidiehe which promotes trade in the agrarian region.
Like Oliver Twist, the Ogwashi-Uku youths are appealing for more recognition ahead of the reconstitution of a new state cabinet.
Meanwhile, consultations and validation are underway to reconstitute the state cabinet.
