Post created on 11:45 am

The Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, has called on Nigerians to embrace unity and avoid things that divide them as a people.

Oborevwori who gave the advice at the Cenotaph in Asaba the state capital during a ceremony to mark Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary, emphasized the significance of the occasion as a time to honour the sacrifices of the nation’s founding fathers, reflect on shared progress, and be more committed to building a prosperous future.

Represented by his Deputy, Monday Onyeme, Oborevwori narrowed his speech down to the state noting that the true strength of Delta lies in its people; as he called on Deltans to embrace independence in their daily lives: Independence from ethnic division and rivalry. Independence from dependency, by embracing hard work, enterprise and creativity. Independence from forces that divide the people by uniting under the common banner of One Delta.

The Commissioner for Water Resources Development, Isaac Wilkie and Chairman Aniocha South Local Government Area, Jude Chukwunwike, during an interview with newsmen, also joined the Governor in the appeal.

The occasion featured inspection of Guard of Honour, match past by military and para-military agencies.
