GOV. Sheriff Oborevwori. I WILL NOT TAKE SIDES .

 


Governor  Rt Hon on Sheriff Oborevwori has called for  Peace and Unity in Warri, In response to recent happenings in Warri. The Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, made this call  on leaders and elders of Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Urhobo ethnic nationalities to shun divisive tendencies contradict his enhanced peace and security initiative in the MORE Agenda. Calls all stakeholders to embrace peace, stressing that unity remains the only path to sustainable development in Warri and Delta State at large.

Speaking at the funeral service of the late Mrs. Grace Agbolayah at the African Church, Central Missionary Diocese, Warri, the Governor warned against that while he welcomes and appreciate the use of social media in advancing healthy discussions that are capable of shaping society, the state government will not condone the misuse of social media to fuel crisis and spread falsehood.

He reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Warri, noting that as governor, he would not take sides but serve the interests of all Deltans built on the bedrock of peace and unity.

“In all, what we need is unity. I have witnessed crisis and I know its consequences. People are using social media to cause problems, this must stop. I want to develop Warri because this is my home, and some of the young people today have not enjoyed the Warri we experienced back then,” Oborevwori said.

Recalling his personal experience during a past crisis, the Governor revealed that his father’s house was spared from destruction simply because it bore the inscription, "‘Sheriff Papa House", while neighboring homes were razed.

He described the incident as a lesson on the devastating impact of conflict on communities.

The Governor, who declared “Warri dey sweet me for body,” emphasized his deep connection to the city, adding that he has no other home outside Warri.

“I am a man with street credibility and local content, not from the diaspora. Now that I am Governor, I am a Governor for all, and I will not take sides,” he stressed.

Oborevwori reaffirmed his resolve and unwavering commitment to fast-track development across the state, assuring that he would not disappoint Deltans. “I want to do more for Deltans. I don’t want to fail. I will continue to show love to the people and deep respect for our leaders,” he added.

He urged critics to exercise restraint, particularly those outside the state who attempt to sow seeds of discord. He also called on parents and guardians to caution their children against misusing social media for hate campaigns.

Paying tribute to the late Mrs. Agbolayah, the Governor described her as a shining example of faith, integrity, and commitment to family.

“Mama came, saw, and conquered. She served God faithfully and raised her children well, with one now a bishop. My prayer is that the wisdom with which Mama raised you will also guide you in raising your children,” he said.
.

His Eminence Julius Olayinka Abbe, Primate of the African Church, commended Governor Oborevwori for his contributions to the family, particularly the appointment of Dr. Toyin Agbolayah as Special Adviser on Community Development, which he said strengthened the family during Mama’s lifetime.

Commending the Governor’s leadership, the Primate said: “Your Excellency, you are doing a great job, and from the way you are going, Delta State will soon compete with Lagos in infrastructure. The people of Delta love you and we pray that God strengthens you to do more.”

The funeral service was attended by many dignitaries including the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, members of the State Executive Council, and other top government functionaries.

The honorable member was challenged by one Barrister Tony Ejumejowo to present his score card for the past six years. Mr Tony argues that Hon Fergusons representation is abysmally poor. Although his aide one Mr Pedro tried frantically to present what seems to be a cooked up list of projects, describing Mr Tony Ejumejowo as armchair critic.  Immediately, Mr Pedro recieved backlash from many other constituents from different communities who countered the claims presented by Mr Pedro.
