The Delta Media Forum (DMF) has called for collaborative efforts for the development of the state.
DMF which is a collective of media professionals from Delta state and operating in the nation’s capital, urged the Governor of Delta state, National Assembly members, and the appointed minister representing the state to transcend the adversarial postures often associated with electoral contests.
DMF while calling for concerted efforts to advance the state’s development also expressed its congratulatory wishes to the Executive Governor of Delta State, Mr. Sheriff Oborevwori, on his triumphant emergence in the recent elections and his subsequent validation by the electoral tribunal.
In a statement by it’s acting Secretary, Chris Onokpegu, the Forum challenged governor Oborevwori to rise above the electoral dynamics and collaborate across party boundaries to foster the state’s advancement.
“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, for securing victory at the tribunal. This outcome serves as an affirmation of the mandate granted to him by the citizens of Delta State. Additionally, the tribunal’s validation reaffirms the integrity of the electoral process during the February elections.
“The Forum lauds Governor Oborevwori for his efforts to enhance the well-being of Deltans, particularly through the distribution of palliatives as part of measures to alleviate the challenges caused by the removal of fuel subsidy,” the statement said.
Furthermore, the DMF extended its felicitations to Festus Keyamo, SAN, on his appointment as the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace.
The media group described Keyamo’s reappointment as a testament to his unwavering integrity and dedication to public service.
“We take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, for his well-deserved appointment as the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace. We also commend President Bola Tinubu for recognizing Mr. Keyamo’s commitment and rewarding his dedication.
“We are exceedingly proud of Mr. Keyamo, and we possess unwavering confidence in his ability to excel. His appointment comes as no surprise, given his distinguished intellect and diligent work ethics.
“Despite concerns about the challenges within the aviation and aerospace sector, we maintain an optimistic outlook for Mr. Keyamo. The resilient and pioneering spirit of Deltans ensures that he will overcome obstacles and ascend to success. It is pertinent to recall that Mr. Keyamo’s exceptional performance as Minister of State for Labour led to his retention as the sole minister from the Muhammadu Buhari administration,” the statement said.
