Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has dismissed claims of bias against Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration, stressing that the governor remains committed to fairness, peace, and inclusive development across the state.
Aniagwu, who addressed journalists in Asaba alongside the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon, described the negative narratives being promoted by political actors ahead of the 2027 elections as “false and completely at variance with reality.”
He said Governor Oborevwori has consistently governed as “a governor for all Deltans,” regardless of ethnic or political affiliations, with projects and appointments spread across the state’s 25 local government areas.
“The governor knows indeed that he is an Urhobo man, but he also realizes that he is governor of the entire state,” Aniagwu said. “He has continued to pilot the affairs of Delta not along ethnic lines but with fairness, equity, and inclusiveness.”
Highlighting the administration’s four-point agenda, Aniagwu explained that peace and security remain the foundation of Oborevwori’s governance. He noted that the governor recently directed the creation of a peace and reconciliation committee to engage aggrieved individuals, stressing that peace was essential for meaningful development.
He urged political actors to put aside divisive tendencies and support the administration’s drive for growth.
Aniagwu also said critics could not fault the governor’s performance, pointing to numerous projects in riverine and upland communities, investments in education, and social programmes designed to reduce poverty.
“The commitment of Governor Oborevwori to a peaceful and prosperous Delta is unshaken,” Aniagwu declared. “He has carried everybody along, and his governance style values all Deltans as one people.”
