—-DELTA–Dr. Idodo-Umeh praying for Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege Omonigho Oniovosa

An educationist and a former Commissioner in the defunct Bendel State, Dr. George Idodo-Umeh has described Delta State as the State with the highest concentration of pollution in the country.

Dr. Idodo-Umeh while playing host to a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in the 2015 General Election, Obaisi Ovie Omo-Agege who had paid him a consultative visit ahead of the election, charged Omo-Agege that aside from unemployment and security in the State, he should ensure that environmental safety should be his priority.

According to him, “Crime is fallout of the level of unemployment in the country today. The rich seems to be sleeping, but they actually are not due to the high level of crime as a result of the unemployment.”

Liking Omo-Agege to the Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the former Commissioner applauded commended him for his passion and desire to continue on the developmental programs of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan.

Speaking earlier, Omo-Agege while extolling the educational contribution of Idodo-Umeh said, “I grew up reading your books and it is based on this that I told myself that, you being an educationist and a political leader, I must consult you on my political aspirations for our State.”
