THE State Coordinator of D25L and former SLG in Ughelli South Local Government Council, Mr. Joseph Uburche, has called on Senator Ned Nwoko to support Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration rather than resorting to public criticism against the Governor.
He said that such criticism could create tension in certain parts of Delta State and misrepresent the leadership of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
Speaking at a meeting of D25L members held during the week, Ubrurhe expressed concerns over Nwoko’s approach to issues. He emphasized the importance of due process in addressing political matters, stating, “Senator Ned Nwoko is well-versed in the democratic process. Resorting to public attacks rather than following appropriate channels is counter-productive.”
Ubrurhe, however, commended Governor Oborevwori for his efforts in executing vital infrastructural projects across the state.
He listed projects the Governor has used to touch lives in Delta North to include Dennis Osadebe University projects, the construction of the State High Court Complex, Asaba and the 16km internal road and drainage works at the Madonna Road area, as well as Okpanam-Ibusa bypass, which cuts across Oshimili South and Oshimili North local government areas respectively.
Highlighting the Governor’s inclusive leadership, Ubrurhe praised Oborevwori’s dedication to development across all three senatorial zones of Delta State.
He stressed that it was unwise for Senator Nwoko to create division within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and among the people of Delta, especially in light of Nwoko’s ambitions for re-election in 2027.
Addressing one of the key issues between the two political figures—the OKPAI IPP project, Ubrurhe explained that such matters be settled privately in a manner similar to family discussions.
“Such matters are best resolved behind closed doors, without unnecessary public confrontation,” he added.
