Director General, Delta State Bureau for Communications and Orientation, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, has said that the recent endorsement of governor Sheriff Oborevwori for re-election in 2027 by immediate past governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, was timely, heartwarming and commendable.
The Bureau Chief stated during an interactive radio program monitored in Asaba on Saturday, that the endorsement clearly revealed that Senator Okowa who governed the state from 2015 to May 29, 2023, is visibly proud of governor Oborevwori’s enviable performance in terms of purposeful leadership, socioeconomic and infrastructure development.
It will be recalled that Senator Okowa while receiving thousands of defectors from the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta North Senatorial District to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stated that the state has been witnessing unprecedented socioeconomic and infrastructural development under governor Oborevwori, which had significantly upscaled the living standard of the people, as well as overall development of the state.
Dr Oghenesivbe described Senator Okowa as a selfless leader who governed the state without blemish, embarked on legacy projects, such as the gigantic ultra modern State Secretariat on Mariam Babaginda Way, Stephen Keshi International Stadium, established three state Universities, built Technical Colleges, among others.
He assured that the robust relationship between the two inseparable leaders, namely; Governor Oborevwori and Senator Okowa shall continued to unite PDP, and inspire Deltans to re-electing governor Oborevwori in a landslide victory in 2027, irrespective of political affiliation, and that PDP shall reclaim all National Assembly seats in the forthcoming general elections.
“The recent endorsement of governor Oborevwori for re-election in 2027 by our amiable immediate past governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa is commendable, timely and heartwarming.
“The endorsement is a clear indication that Senator Okowa is proud of the monumental achievements of governor Oborevwori in the past 22 months and counting.
“The two leaders shall continue to work hand-in-hand in conjunction with stakeholders for the benefit of all Deltans and the state. The patriotic bond between governor Oborevwori and Senator Okowa cannot be overemphasized.
“Governor Oborevwori is working very hard to advance Delta State in all sectors of the state economy, and to upgrade her economic status from the 4th largest economy to number one position in Nigeria, before May 29, 2031.
“I urge all Deltans across political divide to join hands with the governor to take Delta to enviable heights via the ongoing implementation of the MORE agenda,” Oghenesivbe said.
