The Obi of Ashama Kingdom, Obi Solomon Eze-Chinyelugo II, has lauded Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, for what he described as remarkable developmental strides across the state, while appealing for urgent attention to the deplorable condition of the Ashama–Ubulu Unor road.
In a statement issued on behalf of the Obi-in-Council and the entire Ashama community, both at home and in the diaspora, the monarch expressed strong support for the governor’s administration and endorsed his re-election bid.
The royal father said the community had passed a vote of confidence in Governor Oborevwori’s leadership style and delivery of democratic dividends, noting that visible progress had been recorded across various sectors of the state’s economy.
He particularly commended the administration’s infrastructure drive, especially in road construction, which he said aligns with the governor’s M.O.R.E Agenda aimed at advancing development across Delta’s three senatorial districts.
Despite the commendation, the monarch drew attention to the poor state of the road linking Ashama to Ubulu Unor, describing it as the community’s major access route to the local government headquarters. He warned that the deteriorating condition of the road poses serious risks to residents and hampers economic and social activities.
The traditional ruler expressed optimism that the governor would extend ongoing development projects to Ashama Kingdom, particularly by rehabilitating the critical road.
“We believe in your policies and remain confident in your commitment to delivering more dividends of democracy. We urge Your Excellency to consider the urgent need to fix the Ashama–Ubulu Unor road,” the statement read.
The monarch further wished the governor a successful completion of his first term and expressed hope for a smooth return to office, assuring him of the continued support and loyalty of the Ashama people.
