By Dr. Peretengboro
As today marks the 60th birthday of the brand new governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orhovwedo Oborevwori, a leading political star of Burutu origin, Rt. Hon. Joseph Asiaye Alubeze Fuludu, pours encomiums on the celebrant Governor.
This was made known to the IduwiniVoice News desk over a personal telephone conversation by the honourable gentleman.
Alubeze who’s the immediate past Speaker and Leader of the Burutu Legislative House, a business mogul, philanthropist, a strong advocate for good governance and one of the very bright political stars of Burutu Local Government Area, who expressed his gratitudes to God Almighty for blessing His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in an uncommon manner that have raised the hopes of every Delta Child that indeed, with focus on God, he/she can become so elevated also expressed his solid believe that the Government of Oborevwori will make all Deltans proud.
The Hon. Gentleman encouraged His Excellency to remain focused on his inaugural promised to put Deltans first and carry all tribes along in all of his policies and developmental programs.
Alubeze made particular emphasis on the need for His Excellency to fullfil his promises made to the riverine dwellers of the state. Adding that nothing is more important to them than the connection of road networks from the city to the riverine areas, and that the completion of Ayakoromor Bridge and commencement of Omadino-Okerenkoko road are critical steps in this direction.
The youth and education friendly leader also encouraged His Excellency to consider a 40: 30: 30 approach in his appointment of principle officers in the state.
Explaining, Rt. Hon. Joseph said, a ratio of 40% youths, 30% women and 30% elders mix of commissionership and other appointments will be a very fantastic one to behold in Delta State.
IduwiniVoice recall that Rt. Hon. Joseph Asiaye Alubeze Fuludu, a three time Councilor representing Nglilebri-1 ward and former Speaker of Burutu Legislative House, is one of the best Councilor to have represented any ward across Delta state.
He placed widows, the aged and students on monthly stipends before, during and after his days as a councilor, and was the first man to singlehandedly facilitate the approval of a JAMB UTME Centre in Burutu LGA. and indeed riverine Delta area.
It remains on record that Alubeze has also been paying the Electricity Bill of the entire Kiagbodo town for years, a gestures which extremely endeared him to his people who gave him an open ticket that, they’ll keep re-electing him for as long as he wanted, into the Burutu Council Parliament.
Even with such an open ticket, the Rt. Hon. Gentleman stepped out of the stage for others to enjoy, as a true democrat.
Concluding, Hon. Joseph Asiaye Alubeze Fuludu wishes His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orhovwedo Oborevwori, the Executive Governor of Delta State, a resounding “Happy Birthday”.
