My Administration ‘ll Continue To Prioritize Security Of Lives And Property -Gov Oborevwori

Delta state governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has submitted that his administration is committed to security of lives and property in the state, noting that Delta remains a peaceful state despite a few security challenges in some parts of the state.

Governor Oborevwori ,who said security of lives and property remains the primary purpose of government, thanked Deltans for their support and called for more prayers to enable his administration resolve some of the seeming intractable challenges bedeviling the state. 

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that the governor disclosed this when the State Executive of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), led by the State Chairman, Bishop Kingsley Enakhireri  visited him at the  Government House, Asaba, on Wednesday. 

Thanking the PFN for their support and prayers, Governor Oborevwori said God has been faithful in answering all the prayers concerning the state and assured that he would continue to be Governor for all Deltans. 

He said: ‘On the issue of security, we are doing our best. In section 14(2b) of the 1999 Constitution, it states that, ‘the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government’ and we are doing that. We want to assure Deltans that this is just a phase and it will come and go. Continue to pray for us while we will continue to serve the people’ . 

On the ongoing protests in the country, Governor Oborevwori thanked PFN and other religious and cultural leaders for their contributions in making the state peaceful despite the protests. 

He flayed a section of the opposition for trying to take credit for the peaceful disposition of protesters in the state, adding that it was a collective effort of all stakeholders especially prayers of the church. 

‘I want to thank the PFN for the role it played at this trying times of a national protest. We can see that the state is peaceful. People were expecting violence like the way it was during ENDSARS. 

But our fathers of faith prayed and all of us also resolved that we do not need crisis in Delta state. We are all working together. Today is the 7th day of the protest and you can see the state is peaceful. People are going about their normal businesses. 

I was watching one of the TV stations when somebody said that they made the peaceful ambience in Delta state during this period of national protests possible. How? When people talk at times, they talk out of ignorance. 

Our fathers of faith prayed and I have been in this state since, I didn’t go out of the state, in order to monitor the protest and we are monitoring it. 

The Civil Society organizations and other groups understand and said this time, they are not going to protest. They know that if they go into it that people will hijack it. So, people should not come to take glory. We return the glory to God Almighty. 

Some of these people talking do not even stay in the state, they don’t know what is happening’ the governor added. 

On the passing of Olorogun Taleb Tebite, Governor Oborevwori described his death as unfortunate, noting that the State Government did its best to support him during his health challenge. 

Taleb was until his death, the Executive Director Projects, Delta state Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC.

‘On the passing of Hon. Taleb Tebite, we cannot question God. We did our best but God chose to take him at this time. May his soul continue to rest in peace’ he said.

Earlier, Bishop Enakhireri said they visited to pledge their unalloyed and unflinching support to the Governor Oborevwori admnistration and thanked him for the wisdom in managing the affairs of the state, particularly in handling the ongoing national protests in the country. 

The State PFN Chairman commended the State Government for its contribution towards the completion of the PFN Secretariat at Agbarho in Ughelli North Local Government.  He, also, used the opportunity to invite the governor for their oncoming Annual Prayer and Thanksgiving on August 22 and also condoled with him on the passing of Hon.
