Delta State’s socio-political movement, the Integrity Group, has pledged unwavering support for Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s bid for a second term. This announcement was made during a courtesy visit by the group to His Royal Majesty, Major General Felix Agho Mujakperuo (Rtd.), the Orodje of Okpe kingdom, at his palace.
During the visit, Dr. Oke Idawene, the group’s Convener, unveiled “4+4” as the campaign slogan for the governor’s second term. Dr. Idawene commended the governor’s “excellent” performance over the past 17 months, urging all Deltans to support Governor Oborevwori for continued growth and development. “Governor Oborevwori means well for Delta State. His developmental strides across every sector have been remarkable, and we are here to seek royal blessings to further our efforts and announce his second term,” Idawene emphasized.
Dr. Idawene also praised the Orodje, who chairs the Delta State Traditional Ruler’s Council, for preserving the culture and traditions of the Okpe and Urhobo people. He highlighted the Orodje’s contributions to promoting harmony, socio-cultural cooperation, and peaceful coexistence within Delta State.
In his response, the Orodje of Okpe commended the Integrity Group for their dedication and commitment to their cause, urging them to remain steadfast in upholding their principles. “Do not let your integrity be questioned or betray your mission for any reason,” he advised.
The Orodje also called on appointees of the governor to support his administration, stating, “Use the little you have to contribute to the growth of the state and the governor’s success.”
Expressing satisfaction with the Integrity Group’s activities, the Orodje endorsed Governor Oborevwori’s second term bid, affirming his belief in the governor’s vision for Delta State. “I am happy with the group, and I wholeheartedly support operation 4+4 for the second term of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori,” he declared.
The monarch expressed gratitude for the fulfillment of his long-held wish of seeing a member of the Okpe kingdom ascend to the governorship of Delta State during his reign, describing Oborevwori’s leadership as a “dream come true.”
The Integrity Group’s visit highlights growing support for Governor Oborevwori’s leadership and their resolve to champion his re-election for the continued progress of Delta State.
