Renowned Niger Delta environmental and human rights activist, Chief Sheriff Mulade, PhD, has commended Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for the successful groundbreaking of the N59.7bn Lagos–Asaba Expressway Flyover in Agbor, urging politicians not to challenge the governor in the 2027 governorship election, citing his strong performance and the need to consolidate ongoing development for the benefit of Deltans.
Speaking to newsmen at Asaba, the state capital after the groundbreaking ceremony for the N59.7bn Lagos-Asaba Expressway Flyover, Uromi junction, the Ijaw leader and development advocate said that he was impressed with the performance of the Governor, Oborevwori, saying that; “We just witnessed the groundbreaking ceremony for yet another flyover in the state. Only recently, he did that of Ughelli, and today we just witnessed that of Agbor. This is going to strengthen economic activities in this area. He should be commended for coming to our rescue”.
“The Governor has shown that he came prepared for the job of piloting the affairs of our dear state and he has never disappointed us,” he said.
Chief Mulade, who is the Ibe-Serimowei of the ancient oil-rich Gbaramatu Kingdom in Delta State, also lauded the Governor for the presentation of 65 SUV cars to the Royal Fathers in the state, describing it as a welcome development.
“Gentlemen of the press, I want to also use this medium to thank our Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori for the recent presentation of 65 brand new SUVs to traditional rulers across the state. He is doing very well and we are proud of him. He values our traditional rulers who are the custodians of our customs”, he said.
“With the unprecedented development we have witnessed in the state, we should encourage him to go for a second term to consolidate on the ongoing people-oriented projects, and it is my appeal to our politicians not to distract him by contesting against the governor who has performed extremely well since he became the governor.
“We are expecting more projects flag-off across the state with a special focus on riverine areas this year,” he added.
