Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State has stated that he has no interest in engaging with his critics.
He urged the opposition to accompany him on a tour of ongoing projects to witness how state funds are being utilized. Oborevwori made this remark on Wednesday after inspecting the completed twin bridges over the Ubu River along the Ughelli-Asaba Expressway.
Addressing criticisms from former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, he described them as stemming from a lack of understanding of governmental operations.
Oborevwori said: “I don’t want to join issues with my critics; some say we have gotten so much money and we are doing flyover for over N70 billion. How can flyover be N77 billion?
“Let him come and see what we are doing with money; as a government, we have operated for almost 21 months and we have not borrowed a dime and there is no contractor in the state that will say we are owing him yet our motiple projects are moving smoothly. “
“Let him come and see what we are doing with our money; let him come and pass through this road and see the difference from when I took over and now.
“It takes only one hour twenty minutes to get to Ughelli, his local government. The road is good”.
On the completion of the twin bridges, Oborevwori said: “a few months ago, when I passed through this place, I came here for an inspection, and what I saw that time and coming today is a different story entirely.
