Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Information and Strategy Management, (DFCISM), Dr Fred Latimore has said that governor of Delta State, Francis Oborevwori, is barely two weeks in office and obviously too early for any individual to criticise his actions and inactions.
Latimore stated this in Asaba, while speaking as guest of NTA public affairs live programme, noting that Governor Oborevwori is barely two weeks in office, saying that the governor has the willpower and courage to determine his own leadership style to serve the people without blemish.
The former executive assistant to former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa stated that those alleging that the governor’s administration is the third term agenda of the immediate past governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, are in a hurry by projecting such premature conclusion.
“It is obviously too early for any individual to criticize his actions and inactions. Governor Oborevwori is barely two weeks in the saddle, he’s yet to constitute his cabinet. I am of the opinion that he should be given reasonable time before reviewing his performance and leadership style.
“Oborevwori knew those who honestly worked with him from the scratch to victory at the polls. He cannot forget those who laid their lives down to project his governorship ambition. He’s a Christian and a good one at that.
“I plead with all stakeholders to be patient and continue to support the governor without negative insinuations. Frankly speaking, it’s too early to criticize him at this time.
“The governor is committed to deliver on his electioneering campaigns promises, and obviously has the political willpower to adopt his own leadership style, provided that his actions and inactions is for the common good of all Deltans.
“I have no doubt in my mind that the Oborevwori administration will succeed, which is why we must all continue to support the governor to deliver substantial dividends of democracy to our people.
“He promised to listen more, do more and achieve more under his leadership; bring about uncommon transformation in the area of strategic social investments, socioeconomic reforms, infrastructure and human capital development across the three senatorial districts,” Latimore said.
