Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has assured that the appointments he is set to make will represent a diverse cross-section of society, incorporating individuals of various age groups, including the young, middle-aged, and old.
While addressing the congregation at the thanksgiving service held in honor of his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, at St. John’s Anglican Church, Ibabu, Ndokwa West Local Government Area, Governor Oborevwori asserted that his administration is committed to fairness and equity in both appointments and project distribution.
‘The appointments are coming and it will be a mix of both the young, average and the old. God is leading us, nobody is directing this administration. We will do the right thing for our people at the right time,’ he stated.
Pointing out that he ground down so many challenges to become Governor, he said: ‘I am happy to be here to join my friend and brother, the Deputy Governor, Sir Monday Onyeme and his wife, Catherine to give thanks to God for our successful inauguration as Governor and Deputy and for all our victories at the election and in the courts.’
