GOVERNOR UDUAGHAN COMMISSIONS COMPLETED ROADS ACROSS DELTA STATE

The Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan has commissioned several roads across the State. Some of the roads include the 7.8 kilometres Umunede-Mbiri Road Rehabilitation, Aboh/Ashaka/Ushie/Arhade and Refinery Road Effurun. Others are the Ughelli urban dualisation, Ovwor and UmehTownship roads.
Addressing the audience which included traditional rulers, palace chiefs, political leaders and stakeholders, the governor said that "the roads will improve inter-city and intra-city road transportation, enhance urban growth, communication and reinvigorate commerce and social life in these areas.”
''We constructed theses roads to take people safely to their destination, when you are drunk, don't drive, when you are feeling sleepy, don't drive and when you take drugs, please don't drive, by God's grace this road will take us to our destination'' Gov Uduaghan added.
At Mbiri the governor who said the Mbiri farm settlement road was dear to his heart promised to complete it and other projects in the area before he leaves office.
Gov Uduaghan enjoined the people to vote massively for President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and other PDP candidates, reminding them that they should endeavour to collect their Permanent Voters' Card (PVC) on which basis they can vote at the polls.
Earlier during a courtesy visit to the Obi of Mbiri, HRM Obi Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Alekwe II, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan commended the unity amongst traditional rulers in Delta State and urged their subjects to emulate them so that development can come to their areas.
According to him, 'The presence of other traditional rulers showed the unity among traditional rulers, that is a lesson to all of us who are your subjects because if our royal fathers are united then of course the subjects become united and we have no cause to be divided''.

The governor who explained that the road to the farm settlement was being delayed due to the need to redesign it promised that the road and the one leading to the palace would be completed before the end of the administration.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent.
