Former Nigerian Senator Dino Melaye has praised the governance of Delta State under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, describing him as a “working governor.” According to Melaye, the entire state has been transformed into a construction site, with numerous people-oriented projects underway.

Melaye’s comments were made on social media platform X, where he expressed his admiration for the governor’s efforts. He highlighted the widespread development projects across the state, stating that Delta is experiencing significant growth and improvement.

This praise comes after a significant political development in the state earlier in 2025. Governor Oborevwori, along with members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the National Assembly, defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This move was also followed by the defection of Oborevwori’s predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, who was the PDP’s presidential running mate.

The defections have likely had a significant impact on the state’s political landscape. However, Melaye’s recent comments suggest that Governor Oborevwori’s focus on development and infrastructure projects has had a positive effect on the state.

The construction projects and people-oriented initiatives underway in Delta State are expected to have a lasting impact on the region’s economy and quality of life. As the state continues to develop, it will be important to monitor the progress and assess the effectiveness of the governor’s strategies.

With the current pace of development, Delta State is likely to experience continued growth and improvement. The state’s transformation into a hub of construction and development activity is a significant step towards achieving its economic and social goals. As the situation unfolds, it will be crucial to track the state’s progress and evaluate the impact of Governor Oborevwori’s policies on the region.
