Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has reaffirmed Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s commitment to fairness, peace, and inclusive development across the state.
Speaking in Asaba on Monday, alongside the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon, Aniagwu dismissed allegations of bias against the administration, describing them as politically motivated and “completely at variance with reality.”
He stressed that the governor has consistently governed as a leader for all Deltans, with development projects and appointments spread across the 25 local government areas of the state.
“The governor knows indeed that he is an Urhobo man, but he also realizes that he is governor of the entire state,” Aniagwu said. “He has continued to pilot the affairs of Delta not along ethnic lines but with fairness, equity, and inclusiveness.”
Aniagwu explained that peace and security remain the bedrock of Oborevwori’s governance philosophy, noting the establishment of a peace and reconciliation committee to engage aggrieved individuals.
He further urged political actors to avoid divisive rhetoric and support the administration’s development agenda, stressing that none of the critics could fault the governor’s performance.
Citing projects across riverine and upland communities, as well as investments in education and social programmes, Aniagwu said the governor’s leadership was focused on lifting citizens out of poverty and fostering unity.
“The commitment of Governor Oborevwori to a peaceful and prosperous Delta is unshaken,” he added. “He has carried everybody along and his governance style values all Deltans as one people.”
