Oborevwori Advocates for Inclusive Governance in Nigeria

On April 29, 2023, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori delivered a lecture on inclusive governance at the Yoruba Tennis Club in Lagos. He discussed the importance of unity in Nigeria, referencing the historical contributions of notable leaders such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, and Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.

Oborevwori emphasized that Nigeria's strength lies in its diversity and called for a leadership approach that ensures no part of the state is left behind. He proposed a template for leadership that focuses on socio-economic inclusivity and equitable development opportunities.

The lecture was well-received, with applause from the audience, and underscored the need for cohesive governance in a nation facing centrifugal forces that threaten its unity. Oborevwori's experience as the longest-serving Speaker of the Delta State Assembly in the Fourth Republic was noted, highlighting his commitment to good governance and community development.
