The Coalition Of United Political Parties (CUPP) in conjunction with Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC),has expressed satisfaction in their choice of as governor of Delta State.
The state IPAC Chairman, Hon. Prince Henry J.E. Eze (JP) made known during a press conference organised by CUPP/IPAC in Asaba, Delta State.
Eze said the governor has proven to all that the decision of the amalgam of registered political parties in state which has been involved in the political space for long, to have him as their consensus candidate, was not a mistake.
While appraising Oborevwori’s one year in office, the amalgam of Registered Political Parties, said the Governor’s one characterized by peace as all the different ethnic nationalities in the state have for the past one year been co-existing without inter-Communal rancour.
“As the longest serving Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly in his time, he has combined strength, humble carriage as well as the capacity for harnessing amazing team spirit for successful implementation of his M.0.R.E agenda”.
He said the landsliding score of the governor as against his opponent in the 2023 Governorship election earned him unflinching popularity in the State and prepared him for an early good start.
Eze said the governor has achieved so much feats without borrowing a kobo in the last one year.
“In terms of infrastructural development, Governor Oborevwori has practically converted Delta State into a hug construction site as his administration is connecting communities with roads and bridges for sustainable development”.
“Perhaps most iconic of his infrastructural projects is the award of a N78billion naira contract to Julius Berger for the construction of three mega bridges, cloverleaf and road expansion works in Warri and Effurun”.
“Other road networks and bridges are scattered all over the three Senatorial districts of the State”.
The IPAC hailed Oborevwori’s administration for attracting the establishment of three new Faculties in the University of Science and Technology Ozoro-Basic Medical Science, Pharmacy and Health Science, all approved by the National University Commission (NUC).
Also adding that the government has also built and commissioned an administrative block and tarred two km of internal roads in the same University.
“We have observed and commend Governor Oborevwori for being very workers friendly. He has demonstrated this by paying the backlog of N5 billion promotion arrears of civil servants while also providing N40 billion for payment of local government pensioners. He has also ordered the recruitment of 2000 teaching and non- teaching staff across the 25 Local Government Areas of the State”.
“That apart, students of Delta State origin numbering 60,000 in Tertiary Institutions have received their 2022/2023 bursary while also approving a 25 percent reduction in acceptance fees in the four States owned Universities”.
Reeling out other achievements of the governor, he said the state Government has provided palliative measures to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on workers, widows, vulnerable groups, the aged and vulnerable segments of the society
“The State MORE Grant Scheme has recorded tremendous results as 3000 beneficiaries in targeted trades/Artisans have been empowered. Also direct beneficiaries of the Delta COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic stimulus (D-CARES) has exponentially increased from 36,353 to 110,841 within one year of the Oborevwori administration”
