Why Commissioners In Delta Are Now Under Pressure

Many Commissioners in Delta State have come under intense pressure and there is real reason why.

It flows from a recent warning of the Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, during the inauguration of eight newly built duplexes at the Commissioners’ Quarters in Asaba, the state capital.

He told them to buckle up on their stations or find themselves thrown out of the ship of state.

Oborevwori said he had already told one or two members of the State Executive Council, of the handwriting on the hall, based on assessment of their performances thus far.

He assured however, that there is no blanked plan to shake the cabinet, adding:

“If you are performing, you will stay. Like now, two or three people are not performing. I told one of them today at the chapel. You are not doing well.

“You know, there are a lot of rumours that the governor wants to dissolve the exco. These people haven’t even heard from me; this just shows that people like to talk too much.”

Asserting that commissioners in Delta executive council must be up and doing to justify their continued stay, the governor added:

“As a commissioner, we don’t see you. You talk, carry your memo, and look for the governor, because the governor will not come looking for you.

“There are others who are seeking me out; you have to bring energy and initiative into your ministry.

“If there is a problem in any ministry, hold the commissioner responsible. Any ministry that is doing very well shows that the commissioner is doing very well.

“We have a lot of projects to inaugurate. I don’t think we will stop before the end of this year. We may not be able to inaugurate all of them, but I believe we will do our best”..
