A public Commentator, Mr Josiah Agoro has described critics of the Delta State Governor, Chief Sheriff Oborevwori as people bereft Of facts about him as well as genuine knowledge of good governance
In a statement issued and signed, a copy made available to Journalists in Asaba, Delta State, Mr Josiah Agoro said:” My attention has recently drawn to a very hilarious article titled: GOV. SHERIFF OBOREWORI’S MANY LAPSES: DELTA YOUTHS AND THE WOMEN GROUPS WILL NOT WORK FOR HIM IN 2027 and the many attempts by its author, a certain Engr. Eboh Oke Gift, at falsifying and misrepresenting the true situation of things in present day Delta State.
Indeed, one particular observation which has become obviously glaring with each passing day since May 29, 2023, is that most of the critics and detractors of the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration, are increasingly becoming bereft and deprived of real and genuine issues of governance, leadership and administration, with which to continue to criticize the Governor only after one year in the saddle. They now resort to ludicrous, outrightly banal and futuristic hallucinations to vent their self inflicted desperation”
Noting that as an observer and one who has keenly followed the governance and administrative vicissitudes and certitudes of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s strategic delivery of the MORE Agenda, he finds it quite amazing and can categorical state, that only incurable charlatans and recognized humbugs like Engr. Gift Eboh, will embark on the tedious, overarching and quite unnecessary engagement of drawing parallels and comparisons between an administration that lasted for eight full years and one that has only just completed one year.
The statement reads:”Be that as it may, it behoves an objective onlooker and if you like, witness to the unfolding tenure, to address some of the misleading and inaccurate issues and representations in Engr Eboh’s effort to smear the Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.
First, it is important to state that, even without being told, that it is rather a bit too early in the life of the administration, for Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to begin to dwell on what the electoral predilections of Delta youths and women will be come 2027.
I am sure that beyond his statutory and obligatory mandate as the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the State to join hands with the rest of the leaders and the entire membership and faithful of the party in the collective effort to ensure resounding electoral victory for the party in the immediate Local Government Council elections slated for July 13, across the three Senatorial zones, Governor Oborevwori is quite focused and predominantly preoccupied with delivering the dividends of Democracy to Deltans as encapsulated in the MORE Agenda, which he has been doing steadily, strategically and with unwavering determination in the last one year.”
According to Josiah Agoro, One would have been tempted to roll out a comprehensive catalogue of projects and initiatives, which Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration is undertaking and delivering across the three Senatorial zones, from massive construction, rehabilitation and initiation of life impacting Infrastructure across all sectors to human capital empowerment and support schemes and even critical interventions in Health, Youth Development, Security, Education, Social Welfare and Humanitarian initiatives, including the regular compassionate outreaches of the “You matter Foundation” of the First Lady, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, adding that it was important to concentrate on and quickly debunk the false and misleading narrative put out by the said Engr. Eboh in his first three paragraphs that: “In spite of the prevailing hardship bedevilling the country, Gov. Sheriff could not initiate any policy to ameliorate the sufferings of Deltans.”
