The All Progressive Congress, APC, has, again, berated the administration of  Governor Sherrif Oborevwori for its alleged   abysmal performance.

The party on Sunday, January 26, 2025,  expressed serious concern that despite the huge resources so far accrued to the State, there is nothing tangible on the ground to show for it.

In a statement, its spokesperson ,Valentine Onojeghuo, regretted that Governor Oborevwori has woefully failed to impact positively on the people of Delta state ,since coming on board for almost two years now.

According to Onojeghuo, the Peoples Democratic Party’s Government has not been able to execute any signature projects, that actually resonate with the peoples’ aspirations and needs.

“Apart from the Effurum flyover project which every Government media hireling now gleefully points to, at any given opportunity, Governor Oborevwor’s administration has failed to deliver any other meaningful projects. and this continues to raise serious concerns among the people of Delta state who are desperate for real developmental changes.

“Not surprisingly, instead of formulating innovative policies and ideas to address the critical challenges confronting the state’s crumbling infrastructure and job creation, as any responsible Government would do, Governor Sheriff Oborovwori’s administration has become increasingly deceptive, hiding behind vague and grandiose promises of future projects rather than taking concrete action today”, the APC stated.

The party, insisted that the true essence of governance revolves around the pragmatic tackling of the daily needs of the people.

According to the APC, it is the duty of any responsive leader to govern in such a way that positively impacts the lives of the people ,.

To do otherwise ,the party noted,is to take an inglorious flight from realities and dwelling on the delusory world of unfulfilled promises amidst rising expectations from the people.

The APC, therefore, expressed deep concern over the PDP-led administration’s failure to demonstrate any clear vision or actionable plan to tackle the myraid of challenges facing Deltans .

The Party faulted the position of the sta3te Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu ,to the effect that Government will respond to the barrage of criticisms by showcasing its practical achievements ,rather than joining issues with the opposition .

The APC, noted that such flimsy response by the Government represents gross act of lukewarmness and insensitivity towards the wellbeing of the people ..

” This is a laughable attempt to deflect attention from the growing concerns of Deltans about the State’s  development developmental trajectory .

“It is not only misleading, but also a futile effort to distract the public from urgent issues affecting the State

“It is no longer a secret that Delta state is grappling with numerous challenges ranging from inadequate infrastructure to lack of economic opportunities for our youth “, the APC noted .

Onojeghuo cautioned the Commissioner for Information on the need to exercise restraint in reacting to genuine concerns of the people.

The party nevertheless expressed its unflinching commitment towards holding the Government accountable to the people.

The Source reports that the APC’s scathing criticism ,is coming on the heels of its flat rejection of the speculated defection of Governor Oborevwori to the party

Penultimate week, the APC, in shooting down growing rumours of the Governor joining forces with the party, informed that he will be a huge  liability on account of the monumental failure of his administration.

However, the Governor has denied any such defection plan to the APC.

For the records, the Delta State Governor is one of the five Governors selected by Thisday/Arise Board of Editors, as one of the best performing Governors in 2024.
