Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta state on tuesday warned opposition figures, critics of his administration and Journalist to either repent or face his wrath. The Governor who dished out the warning in a Democracy Day thanksgiving at Abraka,
home town of the Democratic Peoples Party's gubernatorial candidate in the April Election, Olorogun Great Ogboru, reminded the people of the enormous powers at his disposal, viz; to "demolish and kill", saying he resorted to be firm because of his belief in the ephemeral nature of power.
His words, “The governor has many powers; he can do whichever thing he likes. The governor has powers to demolish any house and he has power to even kill, whatever you can think of.
“But when he leaves office, all the powers are gone. I have not used up to ten per cent of my powers," he said.
Continuing;“If I have to use my powers, many people talking now will not talk, even the journalists won’t be writing what they write now.
“But the power is being used cautiously.
“I can sit and do anything and get away with it humanly, but not with God.”
While calling on Government officials to use the remaining years of their stay in office to impact positively on the lives of their people, Uduaghan reiterated the need to shun all acts of hatred as according to him are inimical to the growth of the state.
He cited the Rwandan experience where a large number of people where slaughtered as a result of hatred and acrimony and sued for peace, even as he reassured the people of his administration's resolve to better their lives.
