Former Delta State Commissioner, Mr. Omamofe Pirah, has expressed profound appreciation to the Executive Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for the successful completion of the historic 20.95 km Trans-Warri–Ode-Itsekiri Road, featuring 15 bridges of various spans, a milestone achieved 19 years after the project was initially awarded.
In a statement on Thursday, Pirah described the accomplishment as “a monumental breakthrough and a long-awaited blessing for the Itsekiri nation.” He commended Governor Oborevwori for demonstrating uncommon political will, financial discipline, and an unwavering commitment to inclusive development.
According to him, the completion of the project has not only ended decades of uncertainty but has also transformed a major infrastructural dream into reality. He noted that the Itsekiri people, who have yearned for this connection for nearly two decades, now have every reason to celebrate.
Pirah called on the entire Itsekiri nation to rally round Governor Oborevwori and support his second term bid in 2027, stressing that the Governor’s achievements in barely two years are clear indicators of continuity, stability, and greater dividends of democracy.
The former Commissioner also extended warm congratulations to the immediate past Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, on his recent appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, as the Lead Coordinator, South-South, of the Renewed Hope Initiative.
Pirah described Okowa’s appointment as “well-deserved and reflective of his proven leadership, experience, and enduring commitment to national development.”
He expressed confidence that Dr. Okowa would bring his trademark wisdom, humility, and administrative competence to bear in advancing the objectives of the Renewed Hope Initiative for the collective benefit of the South-South region.
