Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has said his administration has completed 34 road projects inherited from the previous government in Asaba and commenced work on 54 additional roads in the state capital.
The governor disclosed this on Wednesday during the All Progressives Congress rally in Asaba, where he highlighted his administration’s infrastructure projects ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Oborevwori said his government had also invested in drainage and stormwater management projects to address flooding and other environmental challenges in the capital city.
He explained that his administration had made deliberate efforts to complete abandoned and inherited projects while embarking on new roads to improve connectivity and movement within Asaba.
According to him, the state capital deserved sustained infrastructure development because of its importance as the seat of government.
The governor said several projects had been completed, while others were at different stages of execution, adding that residents could assess his administration through the projects visible across the city.
He said he preferred to allow the people to judge his performance through completed projects rather than repeatedly making claims about his achievements.
Oborevwori also expressed appreciation to the Asagba of Asaba and other traditional rulers for their support, while commending political leaders and stakeholders in Delta North for their cooperation.
He attributed the turnout at his political engagements to the goodwill enjoyed by his administration, describing the support as organic rather than the result of elaborate mobilisation.
The governor also challenged opposition parties to demonstrate their popularity through open rallies and direct engagements with the electorate instead of holding restricted meetings in hotels.
He said political campaigns should provide opportunities for candidates to meet voters and demonstrate their acceptance at the grassroots.
On the 2027 general elections, Oborevwori urged supporters to remain loyal to the APC and vote for its candidates across the various elective positions.
He reminded party faithful to identify the broom, the APC’s symbol, on the ballot and vote for the party.
The governor also commended the leadership of Oshimili South Local Government Area for its political mobilisation efforts, particularly the council chairman and other party stakeholders.
He singled out the member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, Ngozi Okolie, for praise, describing him as an effective political leader working behind the scenes to strengthen the party ahead of the elections.
