ABUJA/Nigeria: Senator Ede Dafinone, representing Delta Central Senatorial District, has congratulated Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori on his emergence as Governor of the Year 2025, describing the double recognition by New Telegraph and Leadership newspapers as a clear validation of visionary leadership and impactful governance.
In a statement issued on behalf of the people of Delta Central, Senator Dafinone said the awards reflect the tangible outcomes of the Governor’s M.O.R.E. agenda and the administration’s commitment to people-centred development across the state.
“It is with great pride and a sense of shared accomplishment that I extend my warmest congratulations to our Governor on this well-deserved honour,” the lawmaker said. “This double recognition by both New Telegraph and Leadership newspapers is a resounding testament to your visionary leadership and the measurable impact of your administration.”
He noted that the prestigious awards were not merely ceremonial, but a recognition of policies deliberately designed to improve the lives of Deltans at all levels. According to him, Governor Oborevwori’s inclusive style of governance has ensured that development is not confined to policy documents but is visible in communities and households across the state.
“Your approach to governance has bridged gaps and fostered inclusivity, ensuring that the dividends of democracy are not just discussed in hallowed chambers but felt in marketplaces, rural communities and in the homes of our constituents,” he stated.
Senator Dafinone particularly commended what he described as unprecedented infrastructural strides under the current administration, saying Delta State has effectively become “a vibrant construction site.” He pointed to ongoing road projects, signature bridges and urban renewal initiatives as evidence of a deliberate strategy to lay a solid economic foundation for future generations.
“From massive road networks to landmark bridges and urban renewal projects, your ‘Advancing Delta’ vision is being etched in concrete and steel,” he said, adding that the transformation across the length and breadth of the state signals a new era of structured growth and prosperity.
While celebrating the honours, the senator assured the Governor of sustained legislative support and collaboration aimed at consolidating existing gains and driving further development.
“These honours serve not only as a reward for your hard work but also as a renewed mandate to continue the excellent service you have started,” he added.
Senator Dafinone concluded by reaffirming the solidarity of the Delta Central Senatorial District with the Governor’s administration, expressing optimism that the state would continue to witness accelerated progress under his leadership.
