Oborevwori Worst Governor in Delta, More Agenda is Deceptive, Building Federal Roads to Get a Refund Not a Legacy -Niger Delta Activist Ozobo

By Monday Peters, Abuja

Foremost Delta based Niger Delta rights activist, Comrade Ozobo Austin has taken the governor of Delta State, elder Sheriff Oborevwori to the trash bin, raising issues of accountability and transparency.

The activist in a statement posted in his Facebook handle, lambasted the governor of building federal roads and flyovers to get a refund which he may convert to his personal funds, demanding whereabouts the refunds and likely projects the refund would be channeled to.

According to him, Deltans were deeply disappointed over the deceptive MORE Agenda and the self-glorifying flyovers that Governor Elder Sheriff Oborevwori were building on federal roads across the State, while abandoning state dilapidated roads.

The statement read, “It may shock Deltans to know that all the five flyovers and major road projects the governor is parading as achievements are on federal roads. We all know that states ordinarily do not build flyovers on federal roads, but when a governor does so with permission of the Federal Ministry of Works, it is usually with an agreement for refund at a later date. During the Buhari administration, the Federal Government tried to stop this practice because some governors inflated the cost and demanded bogus refunds.

“If you take a good look, the five flyovers the governor is bragging about as legacy projects are all on federal roads – from Enerhen Junction in Warri, PTI Junction in Effurun, DSC Roundabout in Uvwie, Otovwodo in Ughelli, to Uromi Junction in Agbor, and the NPA Expressway. The big question Deltans are asking Oborevwori is: what is the motive for converting state resources to build federal roads when all the state roads are dilapidated?

“The governor is now telling Deltans that funding federal road projects is the best legacy and best development he can give to Deltans.

“The governor needs to tell Deltans where he is channeling the federal government refunds for the flyovers he is building for the federal government. We must tell Oborevwori the truth: building flyovers for the federal government to receive bogus returns that will later be converted to his private pocket is not the development Deltans deserve.

“Let me make it clear: Deltans never voted you into power to trick them with a fake MORE Agenda. Your MORE Agenda is dead. What you are doing is deception. You are building flyovers on federal roads that belong to the federal government, and afterwards, you will go behind to collect huge refunds from Abuja and divert it to your private pocket.

“You have failed Deltans. This is a great disappointment and Deltans will take revenge during the 2027 general elections. This is a clear display that you are not for Deltans and that you represent the federal government.

“We are aware that the reason you can’t commission those flyovers is because they are never your projects. They are federal government roads. If they are truly Delta State projects, why have you refused to commission them after many months of completion? Why are you afraid to commission your own projects?

“Prove me wrong and tell Deltans the truth. Come out and tell Deltans how much you have spent on those federal flyovers and where you are channeling the refunds as well.

“In the last three and a half years, where are your legacy projects? Where is the legacy project you can point to and say this is Oborevwori’s legacy project in Delta State? Is it flyovers on federal roads? That is not a legacy.

You have failed Deltans, you don’t deserve re-election. Deltans deserve real development, not audio development and not federal government projects being packaged as state achievements to defraud Deltans.
