The Chairman of the Delta State Chapter of the Integrity Group of Nigeria, Comrade Dr. Bolum Martin Nwachukwu, has described the re-election of Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, as sacrosanct, saying the governor has demonstrated purposeful leadership and remains committed to delivering sustainable development across the state.
Dr. Bolum made the remarks during a courtesy visit to the Founder and Chairman of Ukodo Nation, Chief (Dr.) Morrison Olori (JP), a political support group championing the re-election of Governor Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The visit culminated in a strategic alliance between the Integrity Group of Nigeria, Delta State Chapter, and Ukodo Nation, with both organisations pledging to work together to mobilise grassroots support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates under the #APC5Over5 campaign.
Addressing members of the support group, Dr. Bolum said the Integrity Group would continue to intensify mobilisation efforts across Delta State in support of Governor Oborevwori, President Tinubu and all APC candidates contesting the 2027 elections.
According to him, the governor has distinguished himself through pragmatic leadership, people-centred policies and a commitment to inclusive development, adding that his administration has continued to record visible progress in critical sectors of the state’s economy.
He described Oborevwori as a visionary and solution-driven leader whose MORE Agenda has translated into improved infrastructure, road construction, rural development, healthcare delivery, educational advancement, youth and women empowerment, agricultural support and economic growth across the three senatorial districts.
Dr. Bolum maintained that the governor’s style of governance has strengthened peace, political inclusiveness and public confidence, while ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach communities across the state.
“The re-election of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori is sacrosanct because he has earned the trust and confidence of the people through performance and responsible leadership. His administration has remained focused on policies that directly improve the lives of ordinary Deltans while laying a solid foundation for long-term economic growth and sustainable development.
“Across the state, ongoing infrastructure projects, investments in healthcare and education, youth empowerment programmes and rural development initiatives have demonstrated a clear commitment to good governance. These achievements have strengthened public confidence in his administration and positioned Delta State on a path of continuous progress.
“We believe continuity is essential to consolidate these gains. Governor Oborevwori has shown capacity, vision and humility in leadership, while maintaining a cordial working relationship with the Federal Government. Such cooperation enhances opportunities for federal interventions, attracts investment and accelerates development for the benefit of the people.
“Our resolve is unwavering. The Integrity Group of Nigeria will continue to mobilise support across every ward and local government area to ensure victory for Governor Oborevwori, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all APC candidates in the 2027 general elections. We are convinced that their continued leadership will promote greater stability, unity and prosperity for Delta State and Nigeria.”
The Director-General of the Integrity Group of Nigeria, Dr. Oke Idawene, formally installed Chief (Dr.) Morrison Olori as the National Ambassador of the Integrity Group of Nigeria and conferred on him the honorary title of Father of the Integrity Group in Ughelli North in recognition of his contributions to grassroots mobilisation and political engagement.
Responding, the Founder and Chairman of Ukodo Nation, Chief (Dr.) Morrison Olori (JP), expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of the Integrity Group of Nigeria, Delta State Chapter, for the courtesy visit and their commitment to building a formidable political structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Olori commended former Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for what he described as his foresight in identifying and supporting Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori as his successor, noting that the decision has continued to yield positive results for the state.
According to him, Governor Oborevwori has justified the confidence reposed in him through visionary leadership, prudent management of state resources and the implementation of people-oriented programmes that have accelerated development across Delta State.
He praised the governor for executing impactful infrastructure projects, improving healthcare and education, empowering youths and women, and extending the dividends of democracy to both urban and rural communities. Olori said the governor’s inclusive style of governance had strengthened public confidence and fostered peace and unity across the state.
