THE DELTA State government has affirmed its financial solvency, stating that it remains capable of meeting its obligations due to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s prudent management, fiscal discipline, and accountability.
The State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, stated this in an interview on a live television programme monitored in Asaba.
Aniagwu disclosed that Governor Oborevwori’s greatest asset was being underrated by naysayers, adding that by his governance philosophy, the governor had continued to confound his critics with tangible proofs and accolades across the state and country.
According to him, Governor Oborevwori is likened to that book that almost everybody judged by its cover, and by the time they attempted to open it, they discovered that it’s not written in French but in pure English.
“All the facts that you need to know about certain things that you thought are not possibly available in that book are all put together in that book.
“One of Oborevwori’s greatest assets is the fact that he is underrated, his financial management abilities are almost second to none.
“Let me inform you that even as the Speaker of the State House of Assembly for six years, at the end of his tenure, he returned N500 million unspent funds to the state coffers.
“So, when you look at the story of people who are usually there as politicians at different levels, you will understand what that means, he affirmed.
