A political pressure group, known as Integrity Group of Delta State, has taken a swipe at former governor, chief James Ibori for criticising the administration of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, noting that the governor is firmly in charge of affairs in the state.
In a press statement, made available to journalists, and signed by Dr Oke Idawene, Convener, Comrade Liliveth Ogochukwu, Publicity Secretary and Hon Bath Ozah, Director Media And Communications, the Integrity Group said it is dismayed with Ibori over his “reckless vituperations ”against Oborevwori.
The ex-governor had in a recent public ceremony at Asaba, the Delta state capital questioned the competence of the Oborevwori administration along with members of his cabinet.
But in a statement, the group dismissed Ibori’s claim as baseless and said he was bitter and pained, since Oborevwori defeated his preferred candidate, Olorogun David Edevbie in the 2023 Delta governorship elections.
On the State Executive Council as presently constituted under governor Oborevwori,the Integrity group said Ibori’s reservations were not backed by empirical facts, as the cabinet was an assemblage of seasoned technocrats,experienced hands and sharp enterprising youths.
They stated that in less than one year in office,the governor has achieved so much in terms of provision of social infrastructure, to the delight and fulfilment of Deltans who elected him.
The group counseled Ibori to bridle his tongue and noted that his attack on the Oborevwori administration was based on selfish and egotistic emotions and not any egalitarian concerns for the state.
