Projects
Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta says his administration completed 34 road projects inherited from his predecessor, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa, in Asaba, Oshimili South Local Government Area of the state.
Oborevwori said this on Wednesday during the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign at Asaba, the state capital.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the APC campaign was meant to woo the residents of Asaba and its environs to vote for President Bola Tinubu, Oborevwori and all the party candidates in the upcoming 2027 General Elections.
Oborevwori said his administration had executed several projects in Asaba, completed the inherited road projects, and initiated 54 additional road projects in the area.
“Here, we have worked, Okowa worked, we did the storm water projects and lots of roads in the state capital territory.
“We inherited a lot of uncompleted roads, they are about 34 road projects and we have completed them. It is Okowa that awarded those roads.
“After completing the inherited roads, we initiated an additional 54 roads and many of the roads we initiated have been completed here in our state capital.
“As I speak, a lot of the projects have been completed, particularly, the Abraka Road in Asaba which was in a very bad shape, we have completed it with side drains.”
The governor noted that his campaign is issue-based, adding that his government is open to scrutiny and assessment by independent bodies and the opposition parties.
He said his administration would not prevent other political parties from carrying out their campaigns but added that they had nothing to showcase to the people but vain promises.
The governor acknowledged the Asagba of Asaba, Obi Epiphany Azinge, other traditional rulers, non-indigenes in the area and all other leaders for their love and support for his government and the APC.
He urged the people to vote en masse for Tinubu, himself and all the APC candidates in the upcoming general elections in 2027.
He said that Tinubu had done well to deserve a second term in office, adding that “the APC have the numbers to win the forth coming elections.
“This is why I am not worried about our opponents. So, leave them, if they want the stadium for their campaign, I will give them.
“They cannot mobilise, they do not have the capacity. They can only do town hall meetings not campaigns,” he said.
The governor praised the large number of APC supporters at the rally, adding: “As we speak to the people, this crowd that we have seen shows that we are united”.
He lauded the party representatives at the state and national levels for doing the APC proud with their impactful representations.
Oborevwori urged supporters to remain committed to the APC, while directing them to identify the party’s symbol, the broom on the ballot and vote for its candidates across the various elective positions.
He emphasised the importance of party loyalty and electoral participation, urging supporters not to be distracted by political symbols or affiliations outside the APC.
The governor expressed confidence in the party’s electoral prospects, calling on party faithful and stakeholders to sustain their support as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 elections.
The highpoint of the campaign is the handing over of the APC flags to candidates of the party from Oshimili North axis by the State APC Chairman, Chief Solomon Arenyeka.(NAN).
