Olorogun Emerhor re-assured Deltans that his government, if elected in 2015, will eradicate corruption and financial leakages which in the past frustrated socio-economic development in the State, a situation he said must not be allowed to continue in 2015 and beyond. He expressed absolute displeasure over the high rate of unemployment which hitherto forced thousands of graduates and youth to ride Okada and do all sorts of unskilled labour to keep body and soul together.

Olorogun Emerhor further explained that the wisdom behind access point is to commence the eradication of acute poverty and gradually use same platform to bring economic prosperity to Deltans at the grassroots while government will revive moribund industries and create enabling environment for the establishment of new ones across the state as a means of creating thousands of jobs. Olorogun Emerhor lamented the high level of financial recklessness exhibited since 1999 by successive governments in Delta State and promise to use the state financial and other resources for the rapid development of the three senatorial districts. He urged Chief Great Ogboru of the Labour Party (LP) to support him this time around to fly the consensus flag of the Urhobo Nation, pointing out that he supported Ogboru in the past but could not deliver. He promise to uphold the aspirations of UPU and also to be fair and just to all Deltans irrespective of ethnic or religious affiliation. Olorogun Emerhor told the gathering that APC is the second national party in Nigeria with people oriented programmes and as such will deliver the dividend of democracy to Deltans if elected in 2015.
