Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has highlighted his administration’s infrastructural achievements in Asaba, declaring that 34 inherited road projects have been completed, while work has commenced on 54 additional roads across the state capital.
The governor, who spoke on Wednesday November 11, 2026, during the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rally ahead of the general elections in 2027, in Asaba, stressed that a lot have been completed.
He said his administration had made significant investments in road construction, stormwater management and drainage infrastructure to address longstanding infrastructural challenges in Asaba.
Oborevwori explained that his government inherited numerous road projects, adding that deliberate efforts had been made to complete them while initiating new ones to improve connectivity and ease transportation within the capital city.
According to him, the administration has also undertaken major stormwater management interventions and drainage projects to address flooding and other environmental challenges.
He noted that Asaba, being the state capital and seat of government, deserved sustained infrastructural attention, stressing that several of the projects had already been completed, while others were at various stages of execution.
The governor, who said he preferred allowing the people to assess his administration through visible projects rather than making repeated claims about its achievements, maintained that the impact of the ongoing infrastructural interventions was evident across the city.
He also expressed appreciation to the Asagba of Asaba and other traditional rulers for their support and goodwill towards his administration.
Oborevwori equally commended political leaders and stakeholders in Delta North for their cooperation, endorsement and commitment to the political direction of the state, describing their support as a reflection of confidence in his leadership.
He attributed the organic turnout at his political engagements to the goodwill enjoyed by his administration, insisting that the support of the people was voluntary rather than the product of elaborate mobilisation.
Taking a swipe at opposition parties, the governor challenged them to demonstrate their political strength through open rallies and engagements with the electorate, rather than relying on restricted gatherings in hotels.
He maintained that political campaigns should provide opportunities for candidates to interact directly with the people and demonstrate their grassroots acceptance.
The governor also praised the leadership of Oshimili South Local Government Area, particularly the council chairman and other political leaders, for their contributions to the administration’s political mobilisation efforts.
He singled out the member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ngozi Okolie, for commendation, describing him as an effective political leader working behind the scenes to strengthen the party and secure electoral victories for its candidates.
On the forthcoming 2027 general elections, Oborevwori urged supporters to remain committed to the All Progressives Congress, 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.
