A maritime expert and governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State for the 2015 elections, Mr. Peter Okocha, on Sunday said he would introduce a private sector mentality into the business of governance.
He also said he would run a ‘pan-Deltan’ government which would use the 13 per cent derivation fund to develop the oil-producing areas of the state.
Okocha’s position was contained in a statement by his Campaign Organisation which said the aspirant made the promise at the National Secretariat PDP in Abuja when he returned his Expression of Interest Form for the governorship race in Delta State.
“It is my intention to introduce the private sector mentality into the business of governance. In fact, good corporate governance would be the driving force of my government. Civil servants must deliver efficient services and appropriately remunerated.
“Furthermore, if elected, I will use the 13 per cent derivation fund to develop the oil- producing areas of the state because the people in these areas suffer environmental degradation, untold health hazards as well as economic deprivation resulting from oil exploration activities.
“My government would be pan-Deltan. No part of the state would feel abandoned and I assuredly declare that it is my intention to build on the legacy of the present administration,” he said.
