“Mr Speaker’s consistency and capacity as a leader is second to none. He has shown lots of commitment to transparency and accountability and has helped to ensure that the state is in good shape. Deltans are looking forward to a system where transparency, accountability and accountability are entrenched, hence the people want Rt Hon Sheriff Francis Oborevwori to replicate his good works as Speaker of the state legislature,“ Elekeokwuri said.

In their contributions, the member representing, Warri South-West, Emomotimi Guwor, Ughelli North 1, Charles Oniyere, Warri South 1, Austin Uroye, and Aniocha North, Hon Emeka Nwaobi, described the Speaker as a servant leader who has shown immeasurable capacity in handling the affairs of the State Assembly.

The Lawmakers said Deltans will indeed be glad to have him replicate the leadership prowess as Speaker of the State Legislature, stressing that he has excessive local content to take the state to a greater height.

According to them, the Speaker has taken the legislative business in Delta State to a very high level, maintaining that to have managed the House for over five years, elected by colleagues as Deputy National Chairman, Conference of Speakers of State Houses of Assembly and a gubernatorial candidate of PDP in the 2023 general elections was not by accident but hard work and sound integrity.
