Sheriff Oborevwori Reinstates Reuben Izeze After Suspension
Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori reinstated Reuben Izeze, the Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), after a 10-week suspension. The suspension, which began on August 10, was due to allegations linking Izeze to the assault of Simon Mudi, the governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Protocol, during an All Progressives Congress stakeholders’ meeting in Effurun.
Oborevwori announced the reinstatement during a swearing-in ceremony at Unity Hall, Government House, Asaba. He noted that Izeze had sent a message seeking forgiveness and expressed his willingness to return to public service.
The governor emphasized that Izeze's appeal and decision to face the public influenced his choice to lift the suspension. Izeze had been remanded at Okere Prison and was involved in the welfare of other inmates during his custody.
The governor stated that the allegations surrounding the incident would still undergo due process.
