As a well grounded son of the soil from Osubi, Okpe land, “UKODO” as popularly known across Urhobo Land, embodies the aspirations of every Urhobo youth and elders with progress rooted in identity and action backed by results.
A GLANCE AT SOME OF HIS EXCELLENCY’S LANDMARK ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR
* Fiscal Discipline & Landmark Infrastructure: In just over 18 months, the Administration of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori has built over 1,500 km of roads, flyovers, bridges, and urban upgrades without borrowing a cent. That is stable Leadership delivering tangible change.
* Youth & Women Empowerment: Through D‑CARES, WESAP, and his MORE Agenda, over 250,000 Urhobo youths and women gained grants, skills, opportunities and countless empowerment. For youth, that’s our future unlocked, for the Elders, it’s the strength of our community restored.
* Peace, Inclusion and Unity: His Excellency set up Councils and initiatives to foster peace across Delta State including Urhobo land, earning praise as the “Most All‑inclusive Governor” of all time. He has been able to prove to us that Unity is our power as an ethnic group.
* Cultural Resonance and Pride: A proud Okpe Urhobo man with deep ties to gerontocratic traditions and youth empowerment alike, he represents both tradition, ambition and with deep love at heart for his people.
To Urhobo Leaders and Elders, your legacy of wisdom and guardianship is fortified when your leader, our project Governor build roads, funds schools, ensured peace, and empowers our children. His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori respects your mantles and acts on it.
All Urhobos must see themselves as Ambassadors of his administration by speaking about his achievements within his short time in Office, sharing the Governor’s work, including roads, youth programs and peace efforts in conversations, churches, town halls, and on social media. Let others know what he is doing specifically for Urhobo land and across Delta State.
All Urhobos must join the Renewed Hope and more Agenda for all Deltans by Mobilizing Voter Registration and encourage every eligible Urhobo youth and adult to get their Permanent Voter Card (PVC), early. No vote, no voice.
We must support His Excellency through local structures, join and strengthen Community support groups, town unions, student bodies, and youth movements aligned with the RENEWED HOPE AND MORE Agenda For All Deltans. Grassroots support Wins Elections.
We Must Engage with the RENEWED HOPE and MORE Agenda. Take part in the skill empowerment, business grants, and peace initiatives that he is championing with an understanding that real involvement builds true credibility and loyalty.
We Must See ourselves as Peace Ambassadors, promoting unity across – not just across Delta Central but beyond the State at large. A Peaceful and united communities are easier to mobilize politically and harder to divide.
We must challenge misinformation politely but firmly correct lies and propaganda against his work. Stay informed and help others get informed.
We must at this point pray and encourage him. Show him that he has the blessings and prayers of his people especially from traditional rulers, elders, women groups, and religious leaders.
To my fellow Urhobo Youth, you see a man breaking shackles of unemployment and throwing open doors to innovation, that’s your chance to rise in your land with your Leader.
MY OPINION:
Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Francis Orohwedor offers Urhobo not just politics but purpose with responsible governance, community pride, and opportunity for all. In 2027, voting for him isn’t just support, it’s a stand for rapid development across our Land and progress for our people.
