The governorship candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party in Delta State, Chief Immanuel Edijala, has rolled out his manifesto ahead the 2023 elections in the state.

In a press briefing with journalists on Wednesday in Warri, Edijala noted that he will ensure a productive state if elected into office.

The revered mariner also lamented the moribund state of industries in the state, promising to hit the ground running immediately he is elected.

Announcing a production, order, wealth, education and reengineering manifesto, Edijala said;

“I have come out with an all inclusive plan of action which I tag the POWER AGENDA, where ‘P’ stands for Productivity berthed on continuous Investments in the Power, Oil and Gas sectors to catalyse speedy Industrial takeoff and Electricity for all our households.

“‘O’ stands for Order, Security, efficient Justice Delivery, Equitable Allocation of Government Resources using modern management tools and Data to tackle Environmental and Health emergencies.

“‘W’ stands for Wealth creation without Gender Bias having a mix of 70:30 in favour of the youth to drive our 24/7 productive economy. A reward system for excellence shall be established.

“‘E’ stands for qualitative Education which shall receive a budgetary allocation of a minimum of 30% to produce the workforce for the Delta Digital Economy that will make us emerge as the “digital factory” for the Nigeria DIGITAL FOUNDATION and providing 21st-century technology and telecom infrastructure and services to Africa and the world.

“And lastly ‘R’ will focus on Reengineering of our Roads, Rail, Ports and other world class infrastructures that will rival developed countries, and we shall pursue affordable Housing, Urban Renewal and Rural Penetration to create clean and blue cities for our people. This will be climaxed by a design of a 50 years “Marshall Plan of Action” for future Generations to develop on.

“I hope to generate huge economic activities that will increase even the earnings of workers in the private sector.

“To address the problem of our all time weakened Naira, we shall set the public sector minimum wage @N50k as bench mark even for the private sector in Delta State who shall be encouraged to utilise the 24/7 three shift working environment under our POWER Agenda.

“We will drive away darkness and ensure electric power is made available for our domestic and industrial users. Our Gas resource alone is enough to unlock all other potentials in our State. Our GDP which has stood at $16b for over 10 years, shall be grown to over $100b in 4 years of my being on the Driver’s seat.

“I have the competency, unrivalled push and connections to develop our vast maritime resources which will result in creating two more sea ports for Oil & Gas and Dry Cargoes at Escravous and Forcados respectively to enable us attract goods and maritime services to the other ports of Warri, Sapele, Koko, Oghara.

“We shall invest in Road and Rail Infrastructures that will make Delta State the connecting hub of Nigeria from Escravous to Oleri and Itakpe / North and another corridor from Ogulagha to Asaba and Onitsha / East.

“We shall develop a Delta Digital Economy of $50b in the next 5 years which will engage our youth, and drastically improve ease of operations and reduce operating costs for digital businesses.

‘We shall unlock the flow of domestic capital into digital businesses, facilitate a booming open-API ecosystem, that will support Delta digital innovators through government procurement of innovations from the sector. We shall develop brand new technology platforms and new digital Ecosystems.

“We shall also open up the financial space for our MSMEs, and make agriculture as the catalyst that will provide the input for our large scale standardized industrialization whose goods and services will compete favourably with developed countries in the world market space.
