Delta State government has reiterated that its support for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not for politics but for good governance and patriotism.
Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads and Public Information), Mr Charles Aniagwu, Monday, said Governor Sheriff Oborevwori was not interested in fighting any political battles, thus he asked his kinsmen and Deltans to support the President.
Aniagwu, who was recently directed to oversee the State Information Ministry, spoke specifically on the state of affairs in the state at a press briefing in Asaba, the state capital.
While saying it is height of patriotism to support the federal government, he said the President today has no opponent and that it would be abnormal to practice politics of blindness.
“The Governor was very clear when he noted that the support for Tinubu also is equal to support for him, that it is not politicking; that is governance because, the times we are in now is not for politics but governance.”
The Commissioner said the Governor would steadfastly continue to reply to critics with massive projects delivery ahead of 2027. “We want the President to perform well so that the breeze of development can get to us in Delta state”
“Governor Oborevwori was not interested in any political fight but was primed to responding to critics with the delivery of many more viable projects. His business, at the moment, is governance and he is not going to lose sight of it.
“We have seen a whole lot of publications in different places, including those that are insinuating that he is leaving the PDP. Oborevwori is a very proud member of the Peoples Democratic Party. Today, Oborevwori is a clear leader amongst leaders of the party in Nigeria, and he is not in any way hungry to abandon the Peoples Democratic Party.”
Aniagwu remarked that Governor Oborevwori had kept faith with the continuation and completion of inherited projects, while also initiating new ones.
“Having continued with the numerous projects he inherited, he is currently advancing the state with completion of ongoing roads, while also initiating more projects.
He believes that every Deltan deserves the dividend of democracy and that is what he has concerned himself all about.
On fiscal discipline and efficient resource allocation, Aniagwu said “over N200 billion has been paid to liquidate the state’s debt stock while contractors are being mobilised with new jobs with outstanding job certificates paid as they fall due.” he stated.
