The good people of Delta State must be alert to the fraud being committed against them by the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Ovie Omo-Agege. It is sad and even tragic that there is nothing too difficult for Omo-Agege to do in order to secure undue political advantage.
His new antic is to deceive our youths to think that the ongoing Federal Polytechnic at Orogun was ready to employ them.
Omo-Agege has transformed the institution to Fraud Polytechnic Orogun. In the last few days he has invaded the social media with videos and pictures of ongoing construction work at the polytechnic site to give an impression that the school will resume any moment from now.
Not satisfied with the above stunt, Omo-Agege directed his foot soldiers to fabricate an advertorial for vacancies to be circulated in the social media calling for people to apply for different positions in the school that is not ready to take-off.
Before the vacancy advertisement, Omo-Agege deceived and pushed the Minister of Education to appoint principal officers for the school. This he also did in order to deceive the people that the school was ready in order to score cheap political points.
The questions we should ask Omo-Agege are: is this the first time a school was being built in Nigeria? What is so special that he is parading and advertising the polytechnic as if it was his private school?
Can he tell us what happened to the initial funds meant for the polytechnic?
Let us tell the true story of the Federal Polytechnic which is for now Fraud Polytechnic Orogun. The institution was initially proposed for Aboh in Delta North, but Omo-Agege stole it and took it to his village Orhomuru-Orogun.
Omo-Agege seized the money approved for the construction of the polytechnic and stockpiled it for the governorship election. It was when senators in the Senate Committee on Education threatened to drag him to the EFCC that he went to site to build the school.
He deceived the Minster of Education to announce the principal officers of the school so that it will create the impression that it will take-off now. But the Minister advised the principal officers designate that the school will not open this year and that they should all remain where they are presently working. But Omo-Agege was not happy with the Minister’s position so he asked his social media boys to draft an advertorial, put the name of the Registrar designate and circulate in the social media.
The fact that his barely educated social media boys drafted the advertorial was the reason for the many errors in it and the inclusion of many courses that are not in the polytechnic curriculum.
The truth is that three Federal polytechnics were approved for Abia, Delta and Kano States. How come only the one in Delta State is calling for applications to fill vacancies? Omo-Agege is playing on the intelligence of our people to score cheap political points. Such a man who plays politics with anything and even taking advantage of our people is not fit and proper to be governor. All those who have applied should check and ask for the school’s website. The address is just a google website. The school has no governing council yet they put the Registrar as secretary to council. Which council? Orhomuru-Orogun council? Deltans must beware of an unscrupulous Omo-Agege. What is on ground is Omo-Agege’s Fraud Polytechnic Orogun. The real Federal polytechnic will not open until 2024.
