Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori
The Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has assured that his administration is committed to improving the security of lives and property in the state.
This is as he called Deltans to continue to pray for the government while they continue to serve the people.
Oborevwori noted that the security of lives and property remained the primary purpose of government, as he called for more prayers to enable the administration to resolve some of the challenges bedevilling the state.
The governor disclosed this when he received the State Executive of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, led by the state Chairman, Kingsley Enakhireri at the Government House, Asaba, the state capital, on Wednesday.
Oborevwori said, “On the issue of security, we are doing our best. Section 14 (2b) of the 1999 Constitution 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.
“I want to thank the PFN for the role it played during these trying times of a national protest. We can see that the state is peaceful. People were expecting violence like the way it was during the #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 seventh day of the protest and you can see the state is peaceful. People are going about their normal businesses.”
The governor stated further that, “Civil Society Organisations and other groups understand and said this time, they are not going to protest. They know that if they go into it, 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.”
Earlier, Enakhireri said the visit was necessary to pledge their unalloyed and unflinching support to Oborevwori’s administration and appreciate him for his wisdom in managing the affairs of the state
