Gov Oborevwori's selfless service resonates with Deltans ~ Oghenesivbe


 ......prioritizing infrastructure development, wealth, job creation 

Dr. Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, Director General of Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, has again highlighted the enviable selfless service of the state governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, describing his MORE agenda as people focused.

Speaking to Radio Nigeria Correspondent on Thursday in Lagos, Dr Fred Oghenesivbe disclosed that governor Oborevwori has been working to ensure the safety of life and property, growing the state economy, and upscaling infrastructure development.

Oghenesivbe noted that governor Oborevwori's selfless service is indeed resonating with Deltans, adding that as the first Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly to become Governor, he's been working tirelessly to fulfill  campaign promises aimed at advancing Delta. 

He further stated that Oborevwori administration has been focused on continuity, building on the progress made by his predecessor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, CON, while also investing in road rehabilitation and reconstruction, with a focus on phased development across the state.

Oghenesivbe posited that as a pragmatic leader and seasoned Democratic, governor Oborevwori before proceeding on vacation, effortlessly transmitted power to his deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, to act on his behalf.

Transmitting power, according to the Bureau DG, points to show that governor Oborevwori adheres to the rule of law, protects the supremacy of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, demonstrated uncommon openness and integrity, while also  working harmoniously with his deputy.

"Delta is progressively transiting to greater heights in all sectors of the state economy. Hard times are here occasioned by hyper inflation and weak Naira, but governor Oborevwori is skillfully navigating the storm, and managing the state economy to the admiration of the people.

"We thank God, for the improved state revenue, both federal allocations and Internally Generated Revenue, IGR. He's deploying the state resources prudently for the attainment of set out goals. Delta is in good standing and making substantial progress.

"Infrastructure development, education, health, youths empowerment, job and health creation, as well as huge financial support for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, MSME, are receiving attention on a regular basis. He's focused on growing the state economy.

"The agricultural sector is growing rapidly due to governor Oborevwori's timely intervention and financial assistance to farmers through provision of farm implements, fertilizer, seedlings, etc al.

"Under the D-CARES programme, a total of 208,000 farmers have benefited from the state intervention, and additional 2,000 farmers will soon be empowered as a result of the N1 Billion counterpart funding paid recently by the State government under the AUDA/NEPAD partnership.

"In addition to prudent management of resources, governor Oborevwori is also focused on payment of legitimate loans obtained by previous administration. 

"Over N160 billion has been paid within 16 months in office, bringing the state debt profile to as low as N303 billion from nearly N466 billion as at May 29, 2023 when he took over the mantle of leadership as governor. 

"Oborevwori has not borrowed a penny since May 29, 2023 till date, and not willing to borrow from any financial institution home or abroad. Rather, he's leveraging on prudent management of state resources, and also saved over N200 billion operating cost within 16 months.

"For the first time since the creation of Delta State, construction giant, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, was engaged by this administration under Oborevwori's leadership to construct three mega flyovers, pedestrian bridges and reconstruction of Effurun Roundabout flyover to the tune of over N78 billion. 

"More of such gigantic infrastructure projects shall be executed across the three senatorial districts. The reconstruction of the Ughelli-Asaba road dualization is ongoing and shall be completed within the lifespan of this administration, by the Grace of God.

"I can go on and on. In Delta, we have good stories to tell because God graciously gave us a servant leader as governor.

"Governor Oborevwori is currently turning the three senatorial districts in Delta State to construction sites," Oghenesivbe said.

Gov Oborevwori Fulfilling Electioneering Campaigns Promises to the People ~ DG


 

...Says Sapele Content Creator not in Detention, released sameday


As the dry season approaches, Delta State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori will  upscale rehabilitation and reconstruction of roads across 25 local government areas of the state in fulfilment of his electioneering campaigns promises to the people as encapsulated in the MORE Agenda.

Director General, Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, gave the assurance on Tuesday in an interview with a national radio station in Lagos, saying that governor Sheriff Oborevwori is already fulfilling his electioneering campaigns promises to the people.

Regarding the recent controversy surrounding a Sapele content creator, Mr Uge Elo Kenneth, the Bureau DG clarified that the young man was apprehended, questioned and released same day by law enforcement agents on their own accord, not on the order of Governor Oborevwori, pointing out that law enforcement agents have various reasons to question individuals in accordance with subsisting laws.

He assured that governor Oborevwori, a core democrat and strong advocate for freedom of expression, would never order the arrest of a citizen simply because he complained about the deplorable state of road in his area or constituency, noting that there is a strong connection between the governor and the people.

Oghenesivbe disclosed that there are several roads in Sapele, currently being rehabilitated or reconstructed to enhance free flow of traffic within Sapele township and environs, while more roads are to be attended to during dry season across the state.

The Bureau DG further stated that governor Oborevwori is determined to ensure that bad roads in Delta State are either rehabilitated or reconstructed in phases throughout the lifespan of his administration, and subject to availability of funds, while also focusing on other sectors of the state economy.

He assured that the MORE agenda of the current administration shall continue to impact positively on the state infrastructural development, and economic well-being of the people, urging all well meaning Deltans irrespective of political affiliations to join hands with the governor to Advance Delta beyond 2027.

"Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is a core Democrat with sound knowledge of democratic principles, a Justice of the Peace, and a well grounded grassroots politician.

"He is well informed politically, and adheres strictly to rule of law, freedom of expression, and also recognizes the rights of the governed to demand good governance, equitable distribution of resources and dividends of democracy.

"The Sapele Content Creator was never arrested on the order of the governor of Delta State. Governor Oborevwori will never give such orders, because of his sound knowledge of fundamental rights of citizens. He is a passionate leader with a heart of gold.

"The young man was questioned and released by law enforcement agents on their own accord, and in the discharge of their constitutionally assigned responsibility, and in accordance with relevant sections of the Police Act, and other subsisting Laws.

"Governor Oborevwori was a lawmaker and Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly for almost seven years. He is well grounded. Above all, he is father to all Deltans. 

"People should desist from linking the content creator's arrest to Delta State Governor and the state government. His MORE agenda is for all Deltans, including the content creator.

"The content creator exposed himself to health hazards by bathing in contaminated water, which is not the best way or strategy to attract government attention. There are better and responsible options.

"He must never again expose himself to infections and diseases in the course of doing his daily business of content creation. Gov Oborevwori cares about his health. Health, they say, is wealth.

"Delta State Governor welcomes constructive criticism that would enable government upscale infrastructure and socioeconomic development. It serves as feedback necessary for good governance," Oghenesivbe said.
