Governorship Poll: Askia Congratulates Oborevwori on Election Victory

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, Odio Askia Ogieh JP, has congratulated Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori on his emergence as Governor-Elect of Delta State, describing his victory at the just concluded Delta State Governorship election as the victory of the people and a manifestation of the unchangeable will of God.

Askia, the Udu of Isoko Nation, also commended Deltans for being discerning and wiser to sieve through and disregard the cacophony of propaganda and campaign of calumny unleashed by the main opposition party to settle on the right choice and remain with the Peoples Democratic Party.

“Your Excellency, your overwhelming choice by Deltans is a testament of the people’s knowledge of your personality and their confidence in your capacity and competence not only to sustain the legacy achievements of His Excellency, Sen Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, but also in your ability to deliver your promises of more meaningful development, opportunities for all, realistic reforms and enhanced peace and security for the development of our dear state and the prosperity and happiness of our people,” Ogieh said.

“The people were unanimous, resolute and decisive in sieving through all manners of propaganda and campaign of calumny to vote massively for you and their action leaves no one in doubt that your emergence is a manifestation of the absolute and unchangeable will of God to whom we give all the glory.

“We are proud of your track record of achievements in public service, community development and nation building and we are confident of your commitment to raise the bar of good governance and development,” he concluded.
