Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 25 Local Government Areas of Delta State have lauded Governor Sheriff Oborevwori over what they described as his outstanding performance in office.
They stressed that his developmental strides and inclusive governance have continued to earn him the pride and respect of Deltans across party lines.
Speaking to journalists yesterday after a meeting with the governor at the Government House, Asaba, the APC Chairman of Aniocha South and Coordinating Chairman of Party Chairmen in Delta North, Mr Norbert Sochukwudinma, said the visit was aimed at briefing the governor on developments across their various local government areas.
“We have come to see our father, our amiable governor, the leader of the party in the state. Our meeting with him was fruitful, basically to give him feedback on the going-on in our areas,” Sochukwudinma stated.
According to him, the integration process of the party across the 25 local governments has reached an advanced stage.
“In our various local government areas, things are going very well. The integration is fully activated. As a matter of fact, we have crossed 80 percent and within the next few days, we should be running into 90 and 100 percent. All the 25 APC local government chairmen are present at this meeting,” he said.
On the strength of the opposition in Delta, Sochukwudinma maintained that the APC remains formidable, adding that no other party poses a real threat.
“With what we have today, there is no political party in Delta State that is serious or strong enough to challenge us.
“But whether ADC or any other party, we are strong enough to beat them in a free, fair and credible election. There is no cause for alarm,” he stressed.
He praised Governor Oborevwori for his commitment to infrastructural development, citing completed and ongoing multi-billion-naira projects being executed across the state by reputable contractors.
“Governor Oborevwori has been a known performer. The projects speak for themselves and he is only getting better.
“Now that he is working directly and closely with President Bola Tinubu, things are even better than they were before. We are very proud of him and Deltans are proud of him,” Sochukwudinma added.
