On Sunday, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State refuted claims that his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, is directing his actions.
Rumours had circulated suggesting that Okowa was controlling Oborevwori’s administration.
However, during the first-anniversary thanksgiving of his administration at the Living Faith Church on Ibusa Road, Asaba, Oborevwori asserted that these claims were baseless.
“I’m hearing many things. I want to make it clear that Okowa is not influencing my decisions. I acknowledged his wise counsel which has helped me a lot.”
Oborevwori reiterated that his selection as the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate in 2023, and his subsequent election victory, was due to divine intervention.
Despite facing significant opposition as an aspirant and eventual flag-bearer, exemplified by 38 legal challenges, he highlighted that his administration has transformed the state into a bustling construction site, with a total of 317 projects underway across Delta State.
“A few days from now, we shall commence the inauguration of some of the roads and other projects in other sectors for the world to see what we have accomplished in the last one year by the grace of God.
“The past one year has been one of trials and triumphs, tests and testimonies and adversity and hope; through it all God has been very faithful.
“Recently, God also showed Himself strong in my family by giving us a mighty deliverance in a car accident. Indeed, I owe Him a debt of gratitude for His unfailing love, goodness, protection and sustaining grace,” he said.
