The Governor of Delta State, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, is focusing on economic growth. He is also prioritizing development. Additionally, he is praying for his detractors.
Sheriff Oborevwori says Nigeria shall rise again, occupy a rightful place on the global stage
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori will not join issues with his detractors, no matter the level of provocation and baseless allegations. Instead, he will continue to use the state’s financial resources to upscale socio-economic and infrastructure development. He will improve the quality of health care and enhance qualitative education. He aims to boost agricultural production and partner with the federal government. Additionally, Sheriff Oborevwori will work with international development partners to create more jobs and wealth for the people.
Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe is the Director General of the Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau. He gave the assurance while speaking to newsmen. This took place during the celebration of Nigeria’s 64th Independence anniversary at Tuesday’s Cenotaph Complex in Asaba.
Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori predicted that Nigeria shall rise again. It will genuinely occupy her enviable position as the economic giant of Africa. He emphasized the need for citizens to put Nigeria first, far and above individual interests. He noted that a lack of genuine patriotism leads to corruption. Additionally, some individuals’ strong desire to amass wealth results in the mismanagement of resources in all tiers of government.
Dr Latimore noted several important aspects about Governor Oborevwori. Sheriff Oborevwori is always busy inspecting and commissioning projects. Additionally, he presides over multifaceted empowerment programs since his assumption of office. Dr Latimore pointed out that the governor does not have any time left to respond to falsehood and media propaganda.
The Bureau Chief noted that Governor Oborevwori is only interested in conversations that fast-track socioeconomic development. They improve the well-being of the people. So, Sheriff Oborevwori will never apportion time to negative issues. These issues may not add value to governance and the well-being of our people.
He disclosed that forgiveness has been granted. This is for those behind the recent peddling of falsehood, hate speech, and baseless allegations against Governor Oborevwori. He stated that forgiveness has been granted. They have received forgiveness. The immediate past governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, CON, has also forgiven them. This was done through the instrumentality of deliberate media propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation. Nonetheless, they should sin no more. He noted that the two leaders had resolved many years ago never to harbor grudges against anyone. They adhere to the biblical injunction enshrined in Leviticus 19:18.
Oghenesivbe outlined some of the achievements of Sheriff Oborevwori within 16 months in office. These include the ongoing construction of three mega flyovers. There is also roads expansion and reconstruction of Effurun Roundabout flyover. Additionally, there is financial assistance and grants to over 5,000 persons to expand small-scale businesses. Furthermore, there is the ongoing dualization of Ughelli-Asaba road.
Other projects presently receiving attention include various multi-million Naira underground water tunnels. These tunnels aim to solve erosion problems in parts of Delta North, Delta Central, and Delta South Senatorial Districts. Sheriff Oborevwori also oversees the payment of counterpart funding of N1 billion to empower 2,000 farmers.
The initiative aims to upscale beneficiaries of the D-CARES program from 36,353 to 208,209 persons within 16 months in office. Farm inputs were distributed to over 6,000 farmers to boost agricultural production. The gigantic State High Court Complex has been completed and commissioned. There is construction of new roads as well as completion of inherited multifaceted infrastructure projects, among others.
“Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is too busy to join issues with any politician or political detractors. His major focus is on economic growth, infrastructure development, and the well-being of the People.
“His track record within 16 months in office is amazing. The governor’s monumental achievements infuriate those who are surprised. They never expected the unprecedented heights of socioeconomic and infrastructural development within a short period. No apologies to them, because Governor Oborevwori will sustain his good governance strides.
“My humble appeal to the governor’s detractors is that they should join hands with Sheriff Oborevwori to Advance Delta. He’s governor for all Deltans, ready to partner with all leaders and politicians across the board.
“Delta first should be our collective slogan. If you love Delta, you will place her far above personal interests. The governor truly loves Delta as can be seen in the spread of development across the state.
“Nigeria shall rise again to occupy her enviable position as the economic giant of Africa. To achieve this feat we must put Nigeria first and above our interests.
“Our country, Nigeria is 64 years old from the day she got independence from Britain, our colonial master. The journey has been rough and tough, but we can do better.
“Nigeria is yet to make good use of the enormous resources God gave us as a nation. He gave this country everything a nation needs to be exceedingly great.
“Genuine patriotism will beget good governance, and good governance begets development and economic prosperity. Let’s work harder and imbibe honesty to make our country great,” Oghenesivbe said.
