LAGOS/Nigeria: In a candid revelation, Dr. Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, a prominent figure in the world of communication and politics, has shed light on the recent political misunderstanding that momentarily strained his long-standing friendship with Delta State Governor, Elder Sheriff Francis Oborevwori.
Dr. Oghenesivbe emphasized that their unbreakable bond remains intact and expressed eagerness to resume their collaborative efforts in promoting the Governor’s M.O.R.E agenda.
The distinguished member of the Association of Communication Scholars and Professionals in Nigeria (M.Acspn) made these remarks during a live phone-in radio program on Sunday, September 24, in Lagos. Dr. Oghenesivbe, known for his prowess in creative writing, political propaganda management, and communication strategy in media politics, passionately discussed his dedication to these endeavors during the broadcast. He eloquently stressed the significance of warm affections and the exchange of ideas that have characterized his enduring friendship with Governor Oborevwori.
Acknowledging the recent discord, he attributed it to a diplomatic lapse in the pursuit of a specific appointment request. Nevertheless, he maintained his optimism about its resolution. The revelation that a prominent national leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state has intervened in the matter marked a turning point in the situation, as Dr. Oghenesivbe underlined.
Highlighting the rarity of such discord in their 45-year friendship, Dr. Oghenesivbe extended his sincere apologies to Governor Oborevwori. He disclosed that he had personally reached out to the Governor, and numerous respected party leaders across the state had also intervened on his behalf. These developments, he believed, were promising signs of a swift resolution.
Dr. Oghenesivbe took the opportunity to reaffirm his unwavering love and respect for both Governor Oborevwori and the national leader of the PDP in the state, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, CON. He reiterated his commitment to advancing the M.O.R.E Agenda through mass media and affirmed his alignment with Governor Oborevwori’s administration for its continued success.
In closing, Dr. Oghenesivbe expressed heartfelt gratitude to his colleagues in the media, spanning Delta, Lagos, and the entire nation, for their steadfast support. He called for unity and unwavering persistence in pursuit of their shared goals.
