The Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Charles Aniagwu, has said Governor Sheriff Oborevwori will anchor his 2027 re-election campaign on visible development projects and measurable impact across the state.
Aniagwu made this known on Tuesday during an inspection of the Delta State College of Health Technology, Ovrode, in Isoko North Local Government Area.
He was joined by the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme, and the Chief Press Secretary ( CPS) to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon.
The visit, he explained, followed the governor’s directive to reassess progress and ensure previously identified gaps had been addressed.
Expressing satisfaction with the level of work, Aniagwu noted that the project was nearing completion, with only finishing touches left.
He added that the facility would soon be inaugurated, describing it as a clear demonstration of the administration’s commitment to delivering people-oriented infrastructure.
He stressed that Governor Oborevwori’s governance style prioritizes tangible results over political rhetoric, noting that project execution, commissioning, and human capital development would form the backbone of his campaign strategy.
Aniagwu also explained that the state government’s recent approval to employ 700 health workers is aimed at strengthening the healthcare system, addressing manpower shortages, and improving service delivery across Delta.
He said the move is also designed to complement the establishment of training institutions like the Ovrode College, which will produce skilled professionals needed to sustain the growing workforce.
According to him, the recruitment drive is part of efforts to curb the migration of healthcare professionals—popularly known as the “Japa syndrome”—by creating job opportunities and providing a steady pipeline of trained personnel within the state.
On broader development plans, Aniagwu revealed that the governor had approved over ₦400 billion worth of capital projects spread across various communities, ensuring inclusive development in all parts of Delta State.
He added that the governor has maintained consistent engagement with residents through project commissioning, flag-offs, and inspection visits across all 25 local government areas, noting that this approach enables direct interaction with the people and firsthand assessment of their needs.
“Project commissioning is not merely ceremonial; it allows the governor to connect with the people.
He does not wait for election periods but continues to move across the state delivering impactful projects,” Aniagwu said.
He assured that the administration would sustain its development drive, emphasizing that the growing list of completed and ongoing projects would serve as the foundation of Governor Oborevwori’s campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.
