Senator Ned Nwoko’s claim that he would reject or had rejected SUV and N10 million monthly offer from Delta State Government clearly revealed his large appetite for cheap media Publicity.
Director General, Delta State Bureau for Communications and Orientation, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, made the assertion on Sunday, while reacting to Nwoko’s claim of rejecting SUV from Delta State government, describing it as repulsive conduct that is unbecoming of a distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Bureau Chief assured that governor Oborevwori will remain focused on Advancing Delta through multifaceted mega projects and socioeconomic development, noting that the frequent negative utterances against the governor by Senator Nwoko was and still part of the strategic moves to redeem his battered public image, occasioned by poor representation at the Red Chamber.

He averred that the gift of SUVs to all elected members of the National Assembly representing various senatorial districts and federal constituencies in the state, is no longer news, pointing out that the state government also extended same to members of the opposition political parties, in line with governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s government of inclusiveness as encapsulated in his MORE agenda.
Dr Oghenesivbe disclosed that since after taking over the mantle of state leadership on May 29, 2023, governor Oborevwori had consistently made it known that he was elected to serve all Deltans irrespective of political affiliation, adding that Senator Nwoko’s fruitless efforts to malign the enviable reputation of the state governor had crashed, and still crashing Senator Nwoko’s popularity rating in Delta North Senatorial District.
He stated that Senator Nwoko’s recent statement about rejecting SUV and N10 million monthly offered by the State government was obviously another failed attempt by Senator Nwoko to unduely malign the rising leadership and political profile of governor Oborevwori, assuring that Nwoko lack the political sagacity and moral integrity to succeed in his strong determination to stop the rising leadership and political profile of the governor of Delta State.
He further asserted that Ned Nwoko is yet to showcase his genuine concern for the socioeconomic empowerment of his constituents through any meaningful empowerment programme, adding that governor Oborevwori is not interest in petty squabbles, not with Senator Ned, not anybody.
Oghenesivbe posited that while other Senators across Nigeria are busy empowering their constituents with commercial buses, tricycles, tractors for mechanized farming and other poverty alleviation strategies to cushion the suffering of the people, occasioned by deliberate economic remodelling of the nation by the federal government, Senator Nwoko is busy talking from both sides of his month, sponsoring media propaganda and politics of bitterness in Delta State.
“Senator Ned Nwoko’s large appetite for cheap media publicity, and frequent attacks on the enviable reputation of the governor of Delta State, Dr (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori is disgusting, laughable and fruitless.
“One of the focal points of the MORE Agenda is ‘Opportunity for all Deltans.’ The state government gifted SUVs to all elected members of the National Assembly of Delta State extraction, including members of the opposition political parties in the state who are serving as Senators and members of the House of Representatives.
“The state government’s gift of SUV to federal lawmakers in the state has nothing to do with electioneering politics or inducement as alleged by Senator Nwoko.
“The unproductive media strategies of the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District is laughable. It’s obviously a negative conduct unbecoming of a Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to say the least.
“Senator Nwoko must be told that good and progressive politics is about networking and bridge building devoid of petty squabbles, and uncontrollable crave for cheap media publicity.
“On a regular basis, Deltans celebrate governor Oborevwori’s numerous achievements and national recognitions pioneered by ThisDay Arise Media Group, The New Telegraph Newspaper, Vanguard Newspaper and other leading media organisations in Nigeria.
“It is safe to assert that Senator Nwoko is fast becoming a notorious media propagandist with a large appetite for cheap media publicity, and a persistent naysayer in Delta political landscape.
“Governor Oborevwori’s visionary leadership and good governance strides resonates with the good people of Delta State, and among Nigerians. No matter how hard Senator Nwoko may try to unduely and unreasonably attack the enviable reputation of the governor, his unprogressive political enterprises shall continue to crash like a huge log before the axe.
“One thing is sure, Senator Nwoko will not return to the Red Chambers in 2027,” Oghenesivbe assured.
