The Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, on Monday reacted to the allegation of bias against Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, saying it is “false and completely at variance with reality.”
Newsmata.com.ng reports Aniagwu insisting that against the negative narratives being pushed by political actors ahead of the 2027 elections, the governor remained resolutely committed to fairness, peace, and even development across the state.
Addressing journalists in Asaba, the state capital, flanked by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Festus Ahon, the commissioner stressed that Governor Oborevwori has consistently governed as “a governor for all Deltans,” irrespective of ethnic or political affiliations, noting that development projects and appointments cut across the 25 local government areas of the state.
according to Aniagwu, “The governor knows indeed that he is an Urhobo man, but he also realises that he is governor of the entire state.
“He has continued to pilot the affairs of Delta not along ethnic lines but with fairness, equity, and inclusiveness.”
Highlighting the administration’s four-point agenda, the commissioner explained that peace and security remained the bedrock of Oborevwori’s governance philosophy.
He noted that the governor had recently directed the setting up of a peace and reconciliation committee to engage aggrieved individuals, stressing that peace was essential for meaningful development.
Aniagwu also enjoined members of the political class to put aside divisive tendencies and support the administration’s developmental drive.
Maintaining that none of the governor’s critics could fault him on performance, Aniagwu catalogued the numerous projects across riverine and upland communities, investment in education, and social programmes targeted at lifting citizens out of poverty.
“The commitment of Governor Oborevwori to a peaceful and prosperous Delta is unshaken,” Aniagwu declared. “He has carried everybody along and his governance style values all Deltans as one people.”
