elta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has called on leaders and elders of Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Urhobo ethnic nationalities to shun divisive tendencies and embrace peace in Warri. He emphasized that unity is the only path to sustainable development in Warri and Delta State as a whole.
The governor made this appeal during a funeral service for the late Mrs. Grace Agbolayah at the African Church, Central Missionary Diocese, Warri.
Oborevwori stressed the importance of unity and peace for sustainable development in Warri and Delta State.
“In all, what we need is unity. I have witnessed a crisis and I know its consequences. People are using social media to cause problems; this must stop. I want to develop Warri because this is my home, and some of the young people today have not enjoyed the Warri we experienced back then,” Oborevwori said.
He warned against the misuse of social media to fuel crises and spread falsehood, urging parents and guardians to caution their children against such practices.
The governor reaffirmed his commitment to developing Warri, citing his personal connection to the city and his administration’s efforts to fast-track development across the state.
Oborevwori assured that as governor, he would serve the interests of all Deltans without taking sides, drawing from his experience during past crises.
“I am a man with street credibility and local content, not from the diaspora. Now that I am Governor, I am a Governor for all, and I will not take sides,” he emphasized.
