The recent piece alluding the decision by South South Governors Forum stance regarding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s declaration of State of Emergency in Rivers State to only Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has exposed itself as a mere orchestration by individuals feeling threatened by the flourishing relationship between the Governor and the President.
It is disheartening that some critics resort to sensationalism instead of engaging with the facts that encapsulate the commendable governance we have been witnessing in Delta State.
It is a well-known truth that Governor Oborevwori’s second-term endorsement is buoyed by the overwhelming support of Deltans, who have recognized and appreciated his significant strides toward development across every nook and cranny of our state.
His commitment to progress transcends political affiliations and demonstrates a profound dedication to uplifting the lives of the people he represents.
To assert that Governor Oborevwori is engaged in a conflict with President Tinubu is not only misleading but patently false.
Such allegations reveal a glaring ignorance about the collaborative efforts being undertaken to propel Delta State forward.
How utterly unfounded it is to suggest that the Governor is pursuing personal interests over our collective welfare!
Hon. Chief Evance Ochuko Ivwurie, in his misguided critique, ought to reflect on his earlier assertions made during the pre-election period, wherein he foolishly claimed that Governor Oborevwori would be unable to meet the expectations of Deltans.
The stark reality today, wherein the Governor has already transcended those purported limitations, should bring a semblance of humility and introspection upon Ivwurie.
Instead, he chooses to hide behind a veil of unfounded criticisms rather than acknowledge the palpable achievements that have arisen under Oborevwori’s leadership.
The insinuation that the Governor is embroiled in a “reckless leadership” is not only ludicrous but also diminishes the veritable progress our state has made.
Deltans are far more astute than the detractors would hope; they see through the thinly veiled attempts to undermine a leader who is, in fact, diligently working for their prosperity.
Let us collectively uplift the narrative surrounding our leadership and focus on constructive dialogue and support for Governor Oborevwori as he continues to navigate the complexities of governance.
It is essential for the progress of Delta State that we unite in our appreciation of his efforts, rather than allow baseless criticisms to detract from the undeniable advancements being made.
