Delta State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza, has said that the increasing tempo of economic activities in the state is a reflection of the prevailing peace in the state, as Peace and Security were core ingredients of the MORE agenda of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

The Commissioner made the remarks when the leadership and members of Delta Grassroots Motivation Forum, a political pressure group, paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Asaba.

Dr. Osuoza stated that Governor Oborevwori would develop all parts of the state irrespective of political divides, stressing that he is Governor for all Deltans.

The Commissioner further enjoined the group to join hands with the Ministry of Information to propagate the policies and programmes of the Oborevwori administration at the grassroots, noting that doing so would solidify their support for the Governor and the People’s Democratic Party in the state.

On the group’s request for political appointments for its members, the commissioner noted that though every member of the party could not be appointed into positions, the MORE agenda would provide opportunities to benefit from government’s empowerment programmes as well as other forms of political patronage.

Earlier, President of the Forum, Hon. Richard Anonye, stated that they were in the commissioner’s office to felicitate him on his appointment as well as commiserate with him on the death of his father.

While describing Dr. Osuoza as a dogged and fearless grassroots politician who had contributed immensely to the development of the People’s Democratic Party in the state, Hon. Anonye commended Governor Oborevwori for his choice of Osuoza as commissioner for Information.

He stated that the Forum would continue to support the administration of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. He however appealed for political appointments for members of the group.

Other members of the group present were Dr. Odinigwe Odigie, Commissioner for Science and Technology, and Hon. Kevin Okwechime, Chairman, Aniocha North Local Government Council, among other members.
