He told newsmen on Tuesday that the state governor is unarguably loved by the people, because of his uncommon humility, high sense of humor, respect for individuals and groups across board, adding that petty squabbles, malice and divisive tendencies are alien to the person and character of the governor.
Oghenesivbe, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Delta State Orientation Bureau, DSOB, appealed to members of the public, and the good people of the state, to disregard online publications, reports, comments or social media posts alleging open or coded conflict between governor Oborevwori and Chief Ibori or any other past governor.
The EA Communications disclosed that the duo of Oborevwori and Ibori have no misunderstanding previously, and not at the moment, and that malice not foreseeable in the future.
He assured that governor Oborevwori, will always respect, appreciate and work with past governors, elected representatives of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and their counterparts in other political parties to fast track the overall development of Delta State, in line with his MORE Agenda.
“The governor of Delta State, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, is not and will never be in conflict with any past governor of the state, and that includes Chief James Onanefe Ibori.
“The true situation of things is that governor Oborevwori, has repeatedly call on all well meaning Deltans irrespective of political affiliation and ethnic nationality, to partner with him to develop the State. This is clearly an open invitation, and Deltans are responding.
“He’s not, and will never directly or indirectly cast aspersions at prominent leaders or any past governor who served the state at various capacities. The governor is an unrepentant respecter of constituted authorities.
“The public, and the good people of Delta State, are strongly advised to ignore or disregard stories, comments, innuendos and publications alleging open or coded conflict between governor Oborevwori and any past governor of the state.
“Deltans are already enjoying the incremental positive socioeconomic benefits of the governor’s good governance strides, flowing from the ongoing implementation of the MORE agenda.
“All well meaning Deltans, local and international investors, as well as industrialists are invited to partner the state, and governor Oborevwori to advance Delta,” Oghenesivbe said
