“We are glad to tell Deltans that one of the top government officials, Victor Egbo is among the houses that would be brought down for the duration the exercise will last in Ughelli.
“I am glad that he knows the policy of government and if his house is to be brought down because it is built on the waterways, we are not going to spare anyone.
“The exercise has just begun and there are more swamp buggies that are coming and for the period the exercise is going to last, the people of Ughelli should cooperate as we will and cannot compromise.
“The governor of Delta State, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, a very focused man has given us the directives and we will adhere strictly to the directives and we will not compromise them.
“I am pleading with Ughelli people never to bribe anybody, we are not compromising so that the water that is coming would not further destroy our properties because times are hard.
“We are not going to victimise anybody just as some house owners have done to the state government by building their houses inside water canals in other to block the flow of water, “ he said.
