Delta State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza, has said that the increasing tempo of economic activities in the state is a reflection of the prevailing peace which Delta is enjoying, as Peace and Security were core ingredients of the M.O.R.E agenda of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.
The Commissioner made the remarks when the leadership and members of Delta Grassroots Motivation Forum (DGM), a pan-Delta political pressure group, paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Asaba, on Monday, February 26, 2024.
Dr. Osuoza stated that Governor Oborevwori would develop all parts of the state irrespective of political divides, stressing that he is Governor for all Deltans.
The Commissioner further enjoined the group to join hands with the Ministry of Information to propagate the policies and programmes of the Oborevwori administration at the grassroots, noting that doing so would solidify their support for the Governor and the People’s Democratic Party in the state.
On the group’s request for political appointments for its members, the commissioner noted that though every member of the party could not be appointed into positions, the M.O.R.E agenda would provide opportunities to benefit from the government’s empowerment programmes, as well as other forms of political patronage.
Earlier, President of the Forum, Hon. Richard Anonyei, stated that they were in the commissioner’s office to felicitate him on his appointment, as well as commiserate with him on the demise of his father.
While describing Dr. Osuoza as a dogged and fearless grassroots politician who had contributed immensely to the development of the People’s Democratic Party in the state, Hon. Anonye commended Governor Oborevwori for his choice of Osuoza as commissioner for Information.
Anonyei, who pledged that the Forum would continue to support the administration of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori,however appealed for political appointments for members of the group; a view which was also echoed by Hon. Kaikenechukwu Okolie and other DGM Exco members who spoke during the visit.
Delta State Commissioner for Science and Technology, Dr. Odinigwe Odigie and, Aniocha North Local Government Council Chairman, Hon. Kevin Okwechime, were also introduced and proudly recognized as chieftains of DGM.
Highlight of the visit, was the presentation to the Delta Information Commissioner, of a large portrait photograph of himself, by the Exco and members of the Delta Grassroots Motivational Forum.
