Senator Ned Nwoko’s comments about Governor Sheriff Oborevwori are not only misleading but also a clear reflection of personal grievances rather than objective facts. It is evident that his sudden defection to the APC has come with a need to discredit the current administration, but let’s examine the facts and expose the contradictions in his argument.
1. POPULARITY AND RECOGNITION
Senator Nwoko claims Governor Oborevwori is "unpopular" and unknown outside Delta State. However, Governor Oborevwori was speaker for six years and his resounding victory at the polls, despite legal battles up to the Supreme Court, proves otherwise. His MORE Agenda—which prioritizes development, security, and economic growth—resonates with the people of Delta. Popularity is not measured by how often one is seen in Abuja but by how well one delivers on governance.
2. COMPETENCE AND PERFORMANCE
The attempt to paint Governor Oborevwori as incapable of managing Delta’s resources is laughable. In less than two years, the Governor has continued massive infrastructural projects, supported local businesses, and ensured the prompt payment of workers’ salaries and pensions. Delta State remains one of the few states in Nigeria that has continued to thrive economically despite national economic challenges.
3. HYPOCRISY AND POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM
Ned Nwoko speaks of accountability, yet he was part of the same PDP-led government he now condemns. If Delta was as mismanaged as he claims, why did he remain silent while benefiting from the system? His sudden defection to the APC and attack on Governor Oborevwori suggest political opportunism rather than genuine concern for Delta State.
4. APC’S EMPTY PROMISES
Nwoko’s declaration that the APC will take over Delta State is wishful thinking. The people of Delta are politically conscious and will carefully evaluate their options based on leadership performance, policies, and the overall impact on their well-being. They will not be easily swayed by politicians who frequently switch allegiances in pursuit of personal ambition rather than genuine service to the people. Deltans have witnessed the consequences of opportunistic politics and will remain vigilant against those who seek power for self-interest rather than the collective progress of the state.
5. FOCUS ON GOVERNANCE, NOT POLITICAL DISTRACTIONS
Governor Oborevwori remains focused on delivering democratic dividends to Deltans. Unlike some politicians who seek power for self-interest, the Governor is committed to inclusive governance, infrastructural development, and the economic prosperity of the state.
Ned Nwoko’s outburst is nothing more than the frustration of a man who expected undue political privileges but did not get them. Delta State deserves constructive criticism, not baseless attacks driven by political realignment. Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is here to serve, and the people of Delta stand with him.
