Ovations as New Delta Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, Celebrates 60th Birthday in Style

Governorship in Nigeria holds significant importance, as it offers not only monetary benefits but also the prestige of leading an entire state. The new governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, has swiftly embraced his position.

Reaching the age of 60 is an occasion worth celebrating anywhere in the world. For Oborevwori, who enters this milestone with a gubernatorial crown on his head, there is no greater cause for joy. Moreover, he is fortunate to be experiencing success early on, despite the challenges faced by some of his peers who are still adjusting to the current state of affairs in the country and reassuring their citizens that these are favourable times.

Undoubtedly, Oborevwori is among the most fortunate governors at present. Before assuming the role of governor, he held significant influence as both the representative of the Okpe Constituency and the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly. His achievements include entering the record books as the country’s longest-serving Speaker and being the first Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly to be sworn in as an elected Governor. These accomplishments are remarkable, especially considering Oborevwori’s previous statement expressing his lack of gubernatorial ambitions but a willingness to serve his people in whatever capacity they deemed him worthy of.

Therefore, Oborevwori finds himself in an enviable position, faring better than his counterparts who are grappling with the challenges of wielding power. Despite being elected under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his steadfastness will likely be welcomed by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party, particularly with the expected increase in the wisdom that comes with reaching the age of 60 and above.

Indeed, it is a favourable time to be Oborevwori, and reaching the age of 60 further adds to the significance of this momentous period in his life.
