*Says The Governor’s Stewardship Matched Increased Allocations With Well-funded Projects*
Renowned journalist and former Presidential Spokesman, Olorogun Ima Niboro, has lauded Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori, for what he described as “truly executive” leadership that is transforming the state in visible and impactful ways.
Niboro made the remarks after a breakfast meeting with Governor Oborevwori, which he shared in a reflective post on his Facebook page.
The former Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, described the governor as witty, warm, highly intelligent, and focused, praising his commitment to real development rather than political showmanship.
“I use the phrase ‘truly executive’ deliberately and intentionally,” Niboro wrote, “because there were and still are ‘ceremonial governors’ in certain states across the nation,” he added.
He said Governor Oborevwori’s determined push for infrastructural renewal evokes memories of a time when Deltans “fasted and prayed” for such progress.
According to Niboro, Oborevwori’s stewardship has matched the increased federal allocations with well-planned, well-funded projects that are already reshaping the landscape of Delta State.
He disclosed that during their conversation, the governor expressed confidence that even greater milestones lie ahead. “Delta ain’t seen nothing yet! Bigger, much bigger things are coming,” the governor was quoted as saying.
Niboro concluded his remarks by affirming his deep respect for Governor Oborevwori, saying, “If he didn’t earn it, you won’t see me a hundred miles near him.”
The glowing tribute comes as a further endorsement of Governor Oborevwori’s performance under the MORE Agenda, particularly its focus on sustainable infrastructure, responsive governance, and equitable development across Delta State.
