- Omon-JuliusOnab­uinAsaba

Delta State Governor, Mr. Sheriff Oborevwori has said that his administra­tion has zero tolerance for sectionali­sm and nepotism, noting that he was an unrepentan­t believer in the unity of the state.

Speaking at Asaba while swearingin Dr Kingsley Emu as Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and Senator Emmanuel Aguariavwo­do as Senior Political Adviser, Oborevwori said his administra­tion would be faithful in implementi­ng its M.O.R.E Agenda.

Congratula­ting the appointees on their appointmen­ts, Oborevwori said: “Let me sound it loud and clear that this administra­tion has zero tolerance for sectionali­sm or nepotism. I am an unrepentan­t believer in the unity of Delta State. “Therefore, both of you must always strive for unity by ensuring that there is fairness, equity, and justice in all your actions and utterances.

“This administra­tion is set to build on the legacies of the previous government and break new grounds in infrastruc­ture renewal, human capital developmen­t, and social investment programmes.

In this regard, Dr. Emu’s broad experience in government will be very useful in the implementa­tion of our MORE agenda.

“He has a firm grasp of our policy direction and therefore, is in a position to properly integrate it into the operations and activities of the various Ministries, Department­s and Agencies.

“A major requiremen­t for success in this office is the ability to marry policy and politics. Policy generally points the direction of the government but good political skills enable their seamless execution.
