Views Expressed By Member Of Our Media Team, ‘Personal’… Gov Oborevwori Has ‘Excellent Relationship’ With President Tinubu- Festus Ahon
Governor Sheriff Oborevwor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon on Sunday, issued a views–expressed disclaimer and noted that the views expressed by Mr. Felix Ofou in a particular write-up are personal while adding that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is fully focusing on the governance and development of the state.
Ahon in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that this was done in reaction to a report credited to one of the governor’s Executive Assistants on New Media, Mr Felix Ofou, who had come up with the write-up in question in response to former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege’s recent diatribe against Governor Sheriff Oborevwori at an APC event in Oghara, Ethiope West Local Government.
The statement noted that a personal article written by Mr Felix Ofou is being mischievously and deliberately misinterpreted by a section of the media, adding that, contrary to perceptions, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has a harmonious working relationship with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Ahon said, ‘the governor has constantly urged Deltans and other Nigerians to continue to give support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’ noting that ‘if the President fails’ he, as a governor, would fail too.
He added that this was the same view Governor Oborevwori lucidly expressed at the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU event on Saturday, December 7, during which he said, inter alia, ‘I want to appeal to Urhobo nation today, I am saying it here, I am an Urhobo man and Iam the governor of Delta State.
But I will tell you today whether you like it or not, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is supporting this administration. God has made him the president as God has made me the governor of Delta State.
So, as you are supporting me, support him because if he fails, I will fail, but by the grace of God, he will not fail and I will not fail, too.
Mr President has appointed our sons and daughters to various positions. He did not appoint people from outside the state. God has given him victory and God has given me victory; you people should support us to succeed’.
Ahon added that ‘it is, therefore, imperative to state categorically that, as Chief Press Secretary and official spokesman for the Governor of Delta State, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori did not, and has never, expressed such views on Mr President’s economic policies.
‘The general public is, therefore, advised to jettison such misleading reports as they do not reflect the views of the governor who is working very hard to provide good governance for Deltans and other residents of the state, despite the present economic challenges faced by the citizens’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
