The Governor thanked Journalists in the State for their support before, during and after the general elections, assuring that he would strive to fulfill his campaign promises to Deltans.

He said: “Let me thank the Delta State Council of the NUJ for their support before, during and after the election. Even with all the blackmail, NUJ still had confidence in me; I appreciate you for that.

“I want to sincerely appeal to you to be professional and abide by the ethics of your profession. Going forward, you need to remain united, promote peace, and love amongst yourselves.

On appointments, Governor Oborevwori, said he would appoint people with capacity to deliver, not necessarily on political patronage.

“I have made statements several times concerning the issue of appointments. I have stated that we are going to bring in people with capacity.

“We will pick from the young ones, middle-aged and also experienced ones; the experienced ones will help teach the young ones. So be rest assured that we will do our best to bring people with capacity in order to deliver on our M.O.R.E agenda.

“I want to assure Deltans that as Governor, I want to be a Governor for all Deltans and you can see that all the appointments I have given out so far, my local government has not even gotten one.
