OPPOSITION vs OBOREVWORI: The Futility of Propaganda

Despite Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s remarkable strides in socioeconomic development, opposition elements have resorted to misleading claims, alleging that the Delta State Government and local government councils have failed to deliver tangible progress despite receiving over N1 trillion from FAAC and IGR. Instead, they argue that the administration prioritizes debt repayment, caters to political godfathers, and oils party structures at the expense of development.

However, these claims are not only baseless but also a deliberate distortion of reality. The Oborevwori administration remains committed to prudent financial management, ensuring that every naira received is strategically allocated toward infrastructure, social welfare, and economic growth. Debt repayment is not a diversion of funds but a responsible fiscal measure to maintain Delta State’s financial stability while funding critical projects. The undeniable progress across key sectors—road construction, healthcare, education, and job creation—exposes the opposition’s allegations as mere political propaganda.

Unprecedented Development in Delta State

While detractors continue to spread misinformation, Governor Oborevwori remains focused on delivering tangible results that improve the lives of Deltans. His administration has embarked on transformative projects, earning recognition beyond state borders. Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, described Delta’s infrastructure projects as “unimaginable.” The numbers speak for themselves:

Transformational Infrastructure Projects

  • 513 ongoing road, drainage, and stormwater channel projects across urban and rural areas, ensuring better connectivity and flood control.
  • Major flyover bridges in Warri and Effurun, easing traffic congestion and modernizing the state’s transportation landscape.
  • The Ughelli-Asaba Expressway, a crucial artery for economic activities, improving trade and mobility.
  • The 26km Trans-Warri-Ode-Itsekiri Road project, which includes 19 bridges—15 already completed, enhancing accessibility for riverine communities.
  • The Beneku Bridge in Ndokwa East and the Orere-Ewu Bridge, unlocking economic opportunities for previously isolated areas.

Unmatched Achievements in Healthcare

Governor Oborevwori’s commitment to quality healthcare delivery has earned Delta State its first-ever Bill and Melinda Gates Award for Primary Health Care Development, a prestigious recognition of the state’s advancements in healthcare infrastructure and service delivery.

A Legacy Beyond Politics

Governor Oborevwori’s leadership is a testament to visionary governance anchored in pragmatism and inclusivity. By prioritizing unity, infrastructure, and healthcare, he has set a benchmark for development, silencing detractors with concrete achievements. His governance is not about political grandstanding but about delivering real solutions to real problems.

Focus on Your House, Not Oborevwori’s Achievements.

Instead of wasting time criticizing Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s achievements, the opposition should focus on resolving their internal conflicts and addressing the deep-seated dysfunction within their party. Strengthening their platform and presenting a viable alternative would be far more productive than engaging in endless fault-finding.

Looking Ahead to 2027: Facts Over Falsehoods

As Delta State marches toward 2027, the administration’s achievements stand as irrefutable evidence of progress. The people of Delta see the work, national leaders recognize the efforts, and fellow governors respect his leadership. While the opposition clings to fear-mongering and baseless narratives, Governor Oborevwori’s performance speaks for itself.

And when his critics inevitably lament their failures, we will simply remind them:

"Weep not, little peeps—Sheriff is just too much."

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...
