Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has attributed the achievements recorded by his administration over the past three years to the cordial relationship between the Executive and Legislative arms of government. Speaking at the third anniversary thanksgiving service of the 8th Delta State House of Assembly in Asaba, the governor said the state’s progress and development were driven by strong collaboration and mutual understanding between both arms of government.
Oborevwori commended Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, and members of the Assembly for their commitment to governance, describing their support and constructive engagement as key factors in strengthening government performance and service delivery. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to constitutional democracy, pledging continued respect for the Legislature’s roles and responsibilities while providing leadership guided by accountability and the rule of law.
The governor also urged lawmakers to intensify efforts to communicate government policies, programmes and achievements to their constituents through constituency engagements, town hall meetings and stakeholder consultations. Oborevwori thanked former governors James Ibori and Ifeanyi Okowa, as well as other political leaders, for their support and attendance at the event.
Earlier, Speaker Guwor said the thanksgiving service was organised to appreciate God for His guidance since the inauguration of the 8th Assembly in June 2023. He noted that the Assembly had continued to discharge its constitutional responsibilities through lawmaking, oversight and stakeholder engagement. In a sermon titled “Wisdom for Excellent Service,” Pastor John Oyomah of the Redeemed Christian Church of God urged leaders to rely on wisdom, integrity and divine guidance in public service.
