He further expressed gratitude for the Governor’s appointment of Ughelli indigenes to strategic positions and pledged the continued loyalty and cooperation of his people toward the administration.
In response, Governor Oborevwori thanked the traditional institution for their support, identifying them as vital stakeholders in grassroots development. He reaffirmed that the flyover is a key component of the “MORE Agenda,” specifically designed to enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and stimulate economic activities within the region.
In a related engagement, the Governor visited the residence of prominent industrialist and political leader, Olorogun Morrison Olori. As the founder of the Ukodo Nation Political Support Group, Olori and his members commended the Governor’s statewide development initiatives. The group used the occasion to assure the Governor of their unwavering support ahead of the 2027 general elections, citing his visible track record of impactful governance.
