Embracing APC not motivated by individual political interests - Oghenesivbe ...Says the Gov Oborevwori's Awards confirmed performance, good governance in Delta State.




The Director-General of the Delta State Orientation and Communication Bureau, Dr (Barr) Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe (JP), has explained that if the massive defection recently witnessed in Delta State had been motivated by individual political interests, it would not have been comprehensive

During an interview with Ritz FM Warri, TVC News and News Central via DSTV and GOTV channels on Saturday and Sunday respectively, Oghenesivbe stated that the 25 local government chairmen, all councilors across the state, the entire PDP structures at unit, Ward and local government levels across the three senatorial districts; Delta Central, Delta North and Delta Central after hitter debates and due process unanimously approved the defection devoid of coercion

The Bureau Chief posited that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori was at different national platforms declared and celebrated as the "Best Governor of the Year" by ThisDay Arise Media Group, "Best Governor in Infrastructure Development" by the New Telegraph Newspapers and "Best Governor in Good Governance" by Vanguard Newspapers Management and Editorial Board, which clearly revealed that the governor is in good standing and advancing Delta in all sectors of the state economy through the strategic implementation of his MORE agenda.

He pointed out that the defection was holistic, involving all levels of the party structure,  stressing that the decision was a collective one, made by the party as a family, and that if the move had only served the interests of a few individuals, such a large and well coordinated defection would not have occurred.

He said, "If it were to be in the interest of the political class, then the defection wouldn't be holistic. You wouldn't have seen a defection that is from top to bottom. 

"As it is today, the 25 local government chairmen, all the councillors across the state and all political appointees were carried along by leaders and stakeholders through the party structure from unit to ward levels, and from  local government to state levels. The defection was embraced by the majority of party members in the state.

"As a family, we all agreed that this is the way forward. And if it were to be in the interest of certain persons in the party, this kind of massive defection likened to a political tsunami wouldn't't have taken place.

"Governor Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori has been declared the Best agovernornof the Year by ThisDay Arise Media Group, Best Governor in Infrastructure Development by the New Telegraph Newspapers and Best Governor in Good Governance by Vanguard Newspapers Management and Editorial Board. You can see that the governor is in good standing in Delta State," Oghenesivbe said.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
