By Fred Edoreh In his inaugural address on May 29, 2023, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State re-established the finest definition of governance. In his words, it is “about improving the quality of life of our people, about building bridges of social cohesion, about giving our people the hope of a better tomorrow, and about accelerated development. And it demands creative thinking, proactive action, and exemplary leadership.” The remarkable phrases in the quote, for me, are “building bridges of social cohesion” and “exemplary leadership,” without which the other objectives cannot be attained.

As the dust settles from the legislative pause necessitated by the appropriation bill and the festive season, it is imperative to refocus public attention on a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s legislative journey, the September 2024 retreat of the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution. This retreat marked a significant leap forward in addressing long-standing constitutional ambiguities and advancing democratic ideals. It underscored the Senate’s commitment to legislative continuity by revisiting critical “legacy bills” inherited from the 9th Assembly while laying the groundwork for fresh constitutional amendments that resonate with Nigeria’s evolving realities. After a comprehensive review of…
Dear Deltans, On New Year’s Day, I issued a goodwill message titled “2025: EXPECT MORE DEMOCRACY DIVIDENDS, DELTA STATE GOVT. ASSURES DELTANS,” focusing on the need for Deltans to anticipate greater accomplishments from the M.O.R.E. Agenda of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.

While I would typically leave such a response to the PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. Onojeghuo’s personal reference to me necessitates this statement. The Reality of Oborevwori’s…
