The story making the rounds with the above headline raises concerns about Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta state governing without a commissioner for information and attorney general.

While these positions are important in the administration of a state, it is important to consider the context and the reasons behind the governor’s actions.

The story mentions that Governor Oborevwori has appointed and sworn in commissioners for all ministries, except for the commissioner for information and attorney general.

It is worth noting that the governor may have prioritized the appointment of other key cabinet members based on the immediate needs of the state. The absence of these two positions does not necessarily imply a dysfunctional state.

The story also criticizes the fragmentation of the Ministry of Education into three separate ministries, namely primary, secondary, and tertiary education. While it may seem like a waste of resources, it is possible that the governor made this decision to ensure better focus and specialization in each level of education.

It is important to consider the long-term benefits and goals of such decisions before concluding that it is a waste of resources.

Regarding the absence of an information commissioner, the story claims that there is a lack of transparency and communication with the people of Delta state.

However, it is important to note that there are alternative channels through which the government communicates with the public, such as press releases, official statements, or social media platforms.

It is possible that the governor is utilizing these channels to provide information to the public while the position of information commissioner remains vacant.

The story suggests that the governor’s silence on the appointment of these key positions is baffling and disturbing. However, it is important to acknowledge that there may be valid reasons for the delay or the governor’s decision to prioritize other matters.

It is possible that the governor is taking the time to carefully consider and select qualified individuals for these positions to ensure that they can effectively carry out their responsibilities.

While the absence of a commissioner for information and attorney general may raise concerns, it is important to consider the context and the governor’s priorities.

It is premature to label the state as dysfunctional based solely on the delay in appointing these positions. It would be more informative to wait for an official statement from the governor or seek additional information before drawing conclusions about the state’s governance.

The claim that Governor Oborevwori and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa are still engaged in a power struggle over the appointment of officials should be substantiated with concrete evidence.

Mere speculation and assumptions without any supporting facts undermine the credibility of the statement. It is important to rely on verified information before making such claims.

It is not enough to make sweeping statements about the inefficiency, poor governance, and corruption without providing specific instances or data to support these claims. Accusations of this nature should be based on verifiable information to ensure fairness and accuracy.

While it is true that the information and justice commissioners play important roles in the administration of a state, it is unfair to place the entire burden of responsibility solely on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. The appointment of officials involves a complex process that may involve multiple stakeholders. It is essential to consider the larger context and potential challenges that could affect the appointment process before assigning blame to a single individual.

While having competent individuals in these roles is indeed important for effective governance, it is an oversimplification to attribute the alleged poverty and corruption in Delta state solely to the absence of these officials. Poverty and corruption are complex issues influenced by numerous factors, including socioeconomic conditions, historical factors, and systemic challenges.

Moreover, the article places the entire burden of responsibility on Governor Oborevwori, emphasizing that he must wake up to his responsibilities and do the needful. While governors do play a significant role in shaping the direction of a state, it is essential to recognize that governance is a collective effort that involves multiple stakeholders, including the legislature, judiciary, civil society, and citizens themselves. Blaming a single individual for all the challenges faced by a state oversimplifies the complex dynamics of governance.

While the said story raises concerns about the absence of an information commissioner and attorney general in Delta state, it is crucial to approach such claims with skepticism and consider the broader context. Constructive criticism is valuable for holding leaders accountable, but it should be based on accurate information, evidence, and a comprehensive understanding of the complexities involved in running a state government.
