Leaders and stakeholders of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta South Senatorial District of Delta State have passed votes of implicit confidence on the state’s Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.
The party leaders, at a crucial meeting held in Warri, on Sunday, said the vote of confidence on the governor stemmed from the giant developmental strides recorded in the nooks and crannies of the state within the first one year of his administration.
The Leaders, including elected and appointed public officers at the state and federal government levels acknowledged the uncommon transformation of the state in all facets by Oborevwori within the short period of one year of his administration.
They described the developmental initiatives of Oborevwori administration in the state as unprecedented.

Preyor Oboro, moved the motion for the passage of the votes of confidence on the governor in appreciation and acknowledgement of the all round development of the state as espoused in his M.O.R.E AGENDA development blueprints.
The motion was seconded by a frontline Isoko leader and a former President of the Isoko Development Union (IDU), Chief Iduh Amadhe.
The motion received thunderous support and backing of all party leaders and stakeholders drawn from the eight local government areas of the senatorial district.
