Itsekiri Nation Passes Vote Of Confidence On Oborevwori
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members from the Itsekiri ethnic nationality have expressed their confidence in Governor Sheriff Oborevwori through a vote and pledged their total support to him beyond 2027.
The Governor received a vote of confidence and endorsement when PDP members of Itsekiri extraction visited him at his Osubi residence in Okpe Local Government Area on Sunday.
In moving the motion for the vote of confidence and endorsement, Hon. Augustine Uroye, representing Warri South Constituency I in the Delta State House of Assembly, pointed out that the vote of confidence was based on the Governor’s remarkable performance in human capital development and infrastructural transformation taking place across the twenty-five Local Government Areas of the state.
Hon Uroye stressed that the Itsekiri Nation would continue to support the governor beyond 2027 and encouraged him to persist in advancing his MORE Agenda.
The motion was seconded by a former lawmaker, Hon Misan Ukubeyinje, before it was put to a voice vote by the member representing Warri Federal Constituency, Hon Thomas Ereyitomi, and it was unanimously adopted.
Speaking after the endorsement and vote of confidence, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori thanked them for the bold step, pointing out that it would spur him to do more for Deltans through his MORE Agenda.
The Governor also commended members of the PDP in Ethiope Federal Constituency and Ughelli/Udu Federal Constituency who recently passed votes of confidence on him, affirming that no part of the state would be left out in the scheme of things.
He said: “I have a very good relationship with the itsekiri ethnic nationality. In Warri, where I grew up, they know me. Most of the people that came here today, they are the people we all started life together; so, it’s not today.
“They believe in my capacity and for them to endorse me today is not strange to me because they know what I can do. They know my capacity and they know I will not disappoint them.”
The state chairman of the PDP, Chief Solomon Arenyeka, and all elected and political appointees from the Itsekiri nation were in attendance at the meeting.
