In a heartfelt statement signed by its national leadership, the publishers described the Governor not just as a politician, but as a deeply relatable leader and a seasoned manager of people and resources who has kept ordinary citizens at the centre of his governance.
According to the union, Governor Oborevwori’s signature MORE Agenda is actively changing lives across the state because it does not just stay on billboards—it is felt directly in both small villages and major towns.
The publishers noted that the Governor's down-to-earth approach is no accident, pointing to his long track record of public service.
They traced his journey from his early days as a dedicated community leader, through his history-making tenure as the longest-serving Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, to his current seat as Chief Executive."Because our job as community publishers keeps us at the very heartbeat of the people, we see firsthand how your open-door policy and simple humanity make a difference," the union stated. "Your focus on real infrastructure, security, and making sure the everyday citizen is taken care of has brought genuine peace and confidence back to our local communities.
"They praised his administration for proving that governance works best when leaders take the time to listen to the grassroots before making decisions. They also commended his careful management of state funds, which they said has kept Delta on a steady path of development.
The FUCNPN prayed that God grants Governor Oborevwori long life, excellent health, and the continuous wisdom needed to keep piloting Delta State toward greater prosperity.
