The Delta State government has reiterated that its support for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not for politics but for good governance and patriotism.
Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads and Public Information), Mr Charles Aniagwu, said Monday that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori was not interested in fighting any political battles; thus, he asked his kinsmen and Deltans to support the President.
Aniagwu, who was recently directed to oversee the State Information Ministry, spoke specifically on the situation at a press briefing in Asaba, the state capital.
While saying it is the height of patriotism to support the federal a, he said the President today has no opponent and that it would be abnormal to practice blind politics.
“The Governor was very clear when he noted that the support for Tinubu is also equal to support for him, that it is not politicking; that is governance because the times we are in now are not for politics but governance.”
The Commissioner said the Governor would continue to reply to critics with massive project delivery ahead of 2027. ”
We want the President to perform well so that the breeze of development can get to us in Delta state.”
“Governor Oborevwori was not interested in any political fight but was primed to respond to critics by delivering many more viable projects. At the moment, his business is governance, and he will not lose sight of it.
“We have seen a lot of publications in different places, including those insinuating that he is leaving the PDP. Oborevwori is a very proud member of the Peoples Democratic Party. Today, Oborevwori is a clear leader amongst leaders of the party in Nigeria, and he is not hungry to abandon the Peoples Democratic Party.”
Aniagwu remarked that Governor Oborevwori had kept faith with the continuation and completion of inherited projects while initiating new ones.
“Having continued with the numerous projects he inherited, he is advancing the state by completing ongoing roads and initiating more projects.
He believes that every Deltan deserves the dividend of democracy and has been concerned about that.
On fiscal discipline and efficient resource allocation, Aniagwu said, “Over N200 billion has been paid to liquidate the state’s debt stock while contractors are being mobilised with new jobs, with outstanding job certificates paid as they fall due.”
