Delta State Is Working Because I Have Chosen Performance Over Politics And Propaganda. - Oborevwori. Politics is often a theatre of predictions, assumptions, and premature judgments. Rarely does any leader assume office without being confronted by skeptics who question both capacity and vision. Such was the political atmosphere that greeted the emergence of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as Governor of Delta State.
