The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly criticized certain politicians for allegedly attempting to tarnish the image of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
The party accused these individuals of deliberately twisting the governor’s recent remarks on peace and unity to suit their own political agendas and gain relevance.
Governor Oborevwori, while speaking to stakeholders earlier in the week, had emphasized his administration’s firm stance against political and ethnic unrest, stating: “You cannot fight under my watch. I will not allow it—not in my two tenures as governor. Maybe after me, but as long as I’m in office, peace will reign in Delta State.”
“Every Deltan, regardless of their tribe and religion, voted for me. I am not going to take sides. My concern is for the general peace in Delta State so that I can continue to do MORE for all Deltans.”
Rising in defence of the governor in a statement issued at the weekend and signed by its Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, the party said the message was a straightforward commitment to lasting peace and inclusive governance, yet political opponents were trying to “weaponise” it for selfish purposes.
“The governor’s position is clear,” APC stressed. “He belongs to all Deltans, irrespective of tribe, religion, or political leaning. His sole concern is to safeguard peace so that development can thrive. Twisting this for political gain is a sign of fear by those intimidated by his achievements.”
APC, therefore, urged residents to ignore what it described as “false narratives” from opposition figures, assuring that the governor remains committed to leaving behind a legacy of peace, security, and sustainable development for all Deltans.
It further linked the governor’s stance to his M.O.R.E. Agenda, which focuses on Meaningful Development, Opportunities for All, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security.
Onojeghuo noted that Delta State is currently enjoying greater safety and stability than in recent years, crediting the administration’s emphasis on fairness, equity, and justice.
“Through the M.O.R.E. Agenda, the governor has strengthened security, expanded infrastructure, and opened up opportunities for economic growth. His fairness in governance is the bedrock of the peace we are seeing today. Propaganda cannot erase this,” Onojeghuo said.
