The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has defended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori against criticisms that his recent comments were taken out of context. In a speech to stakeholders, the governor emphasized his administration’s commitment to peace and unity, stating that he would not tolerate political or ethnic conflict during his tenure. He said his primary concern is the overall peace in Delta State, which he believes will enable him to work for the benefit of all residents. He noted that every Deltan, regardless of tribe or religion, voted for him and that he intends to maintain a neutral stance to ensure inclusive governance.
In a statement issued by APC Publicity Secretary Valentine Onojeghuo, the party described the governor’s message as a straightforward commitment to lasting peace and development. The APC accused political opponents of attempting to “weaponise” the governor’s comments for selfish purposes, interpreting this as a sign of fear over his achievements. The party urged residents to disregard “false narratives” from opposition figures and assured that the governor remains dedicated to leaving a legacy of peace, security, and sustainable development.
The APC linked the governor’s stance to his M.O.R.E. Agenda, which focuses on meaningful development, opportunities for all, realistic reforms, and enhanced peace and security. According to Onojeghuo, Delta State is currently experiencing greater safety and stability than in recent years, thanks to the administration’s emphasis on fairness, equity, and justice. The governor’s equitable governance is credited with strengthening security, expanding infrastructure, and creating opportunities for economic growth.
The APC’s defense of Governor Oborevwori highlights the ongoing debate about governance and development in Delta State. As the state continues to navigate its development trajectory, the governor’s commitment to peace and unity remains a crucial aspect of his administration’s agenda. Guided by the M.O.R.E. Agenda, the state government aims to build on its achievements and ensure a brighter future for all residents.
