Communities making remarks about marginalization are politically motivated – Delta govt
The Delta State government has said those making remarks about marginalization are either politically motivated or individuals unaware of the level of development in their communities.
Delta Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, on Tuesday, appealed to critics to avoid what he described as “dirty politics” as the 2027 election season approaches, warning against attempts to discredit the government for political gain.
Flanked by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon, Executive Assistant on Public Enlightenment, Projects and Polices, Mr Olisa Ifeajika and Executive Assistant on Media, Norbert Chiazor, at a press conference, the Commissioner added that within just one year of assuming office, the Governor had visited Isoko two times to inaugurate projects, underscoring his commitment to the area.
He noted that there is hardly any meeting of the State Executive Council where projects are not approved for Isoko, citing the recent approval of the Ogodogo–Ivu Access Road in Okpolo-Enhwe, Isoko South Local Government Area, at a cost of ₦5.1 billion, a strategic route leading to major oil facilities.
While saying that no local government area is without the footprint of the present administration across key sectors, he assured that the administration would not be distracted from its developmental agenda and would continue to carry every part of the state along.
Aniagwu urged residents of Isoko to rejoice when projects are executed elsewhere, just as others rejoice when Isoko benefits, emphasising that the Oborevwori administration will remain fair to all.
