Can Delta State Be the Dubai of Nigeria?

                By Tolu Abodurin

The greatest gift of a nation is not what lies underneath its soil, but the talent and creativity of its people. One state that has a large number of talented and creative people is Delta State; with the right leadership, the state will become the cynosure of Nigeria. For the 16 years of People Democratic Party (PDP) rule in the state, the state has become an economic wasteland.

We have witnessed blundering of our collective wealth, laundering of money and unchecked corruption on an epic scale. Truth is this pathetic narrative is not exclusive to Delta State, it resonates throughout the entire landscape of Nigeria. In the 2015 election, providence offers us an opportunity to take our collective destiny into our hands and salvage what is left of our broken and battered state. The APC offers us a clean break in the arduous task of redeeming our nation. In most of the AP- led states, we see a sense of development non-existent in their counterpart, the PDP.
