Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has lambasted politicians for attempting to smear the image of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.<\/p>\n

The party said some politicians desperate for relevance had taken the governor\u2019s comments out of context in an attempt to tarnish his image over his recent remarks on peace and unity.<\/p>\n

The governor, while addressing stakeholders earlier in the week, had stressed his administration\u2019s zero tolerance for political or ethnic conflict, declaring: \u201cYou cannot fight under my watch. I will not allow it, not in my two tenures while I will be governor. Maybe after me, but while I am governor, peace will reign in Delta State.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Deltan, regardless of their tribe and religion, voted for me. I am not going to take sides. My concern is for the general peace in Delta State so that I can continue to do MORE for all Deltans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rising in defence of the governor in a statement issued at the weekend and signed by its Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, the party said the message was a straightforward commitment to lasting peace and inclusive governance, yet political opponents were trying to \u201cweaponise\u201d it for selfish purposes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor\u2019s position is clear,\u201d APC stressed. \u201cHe belongs to all Deltans, irrespective of tribe, religion, or political leaning. His sole concern is to safeguard peace so that development can thrive. Twisting this for political gain is a sign of fear by those intimidated by his achievements.\u201d<\/p>\n

APC, therefore, urged residents to ignore what it described as \u201cfalse narratives\u201d from opposition figures, assuring that the governor remains committed to leaving behind a legacy of peace, security, and sustainable development for all Deltans.<\/p>\n

It further linked the governor\u2019s stance to his M.O.R.E. Agenda, which focuses on Meaningful Development, Opportunities for All, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security.<\/p>\n

Onojeghuo noted that Delta State is currently enjoying greater safety and stability than in recent years, crediting the administration\u2019s emphasis on fairness, equity, and justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the M.O.R.E. Agenda, the governor has strengthened security, expanded infrastructure, and opened up opportunities for economic growth. His fairness in governance is the bedrock of the peace we are seeing today. Propaganda cannot erase this,\u201d Onojeghuo said.<\/p>\n
