Delta Beyond Oil: All theory, no physical results —PFN chief

WARRI—Vice-President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Bishop Simeon Okah, has described Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s development policy, Delta Beyond Oil, as “too full of theory and lacking meaningful physical results.”

Okah, General Overseer at Flock of Christ Church, yesterday, who briefed newsmen at the church’s headquarters in Warri, Delta State, as part of activities to mark his 62nd birthday anniversary, which also involved free medicare for members of the public, said: “The governor is a dear friend and a brother. He has, himself, confirmed this publicly, but I dare say, without apology, that the canvassed transformation appeal of the Delta Beyond Oil is too full of theory and I am finding it hard to locate its manifest structures.

“I pray fervently for God to sustain the intended ideals of this policy beyond the originator, because given the superficial structures in which it was conceived, it would take extra commitment and cooperation from the next governor to sustain this Delta Beyond Oil policy.”

He prayed that in the coming year, a lot of buried truths will be revealed concerning corruption and bad leaders who are against the progress of Nigeria.

“The media has not helped the fight against corruption in this country because it has refused to tell the whole truth about corruption in high places in the country. The youths have been lied to and misdirected.

“In 2015, a lot of values buried will be unearthed. People with undeserved wealth stolen from the state would be forced to spill it. It is set to be the year of resurrection of truth. A lot of youths in Nigeria will thrive in self discovery,” he added.
