Sir Festus Ahon, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, has stated that the Governor is carefully selecting qualified and capable individuals to be appointed to the State Executive Council. Ahon clarified that the Governor is not influenced by any external pressure, including that of his predecessor, regarding the selection of cabinet members.
He dismissed the reports circulating in certain sections of the media as unfounded and urged journalists to refrain from engaging in speculative discussions that may contribute to political tension.
Ahon said: “First, the State House of Assembly was constituted on June 13 and thereafter went on recess for two weeks and only recovened on Tuesday June 27.
“The Governor will pick credible and capable persons devoid of sentiments that will help him deliver on his M.O.R.E Agenda for Deltans.
“The report is therefore wrong in its entirety and borne out of mischief. Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa does not interfere with appointments.”
He urged the people of Delta State to remain patient with the State Government, emphasizing that they are determined to bring about further progress and improvements for the populace.
