The Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has presented 65 brand new Sports Utility Vehicles, SUVs, to traditional rulers across the state.
Presenting 60 brand new Prados and five Land Cruisers to the beneficiaries, Oborevwori described traditional fathers as “tools of service” for guardians of peace and stability.
He said the decision to provide rugged SUVs was deliberate, given the rural and difficult terrains in which many traditional rulers operate.
According to him, traditional rulers are not merely custodians of customs, norms and traditions but vital intermediaries between government and the people at the grassroots.
Oborevwori explained that the state’s traditional rulers have made governance easier and more effective for him.
Responding, the Chairman of the Delta State Council of Traditional Rulers and the Orodje of Okpe Kingdom, HRM Major General Felix Mujakperuo (Rtd.), Orhue I, described the gesture as a timely and symbolic intervention that strengthens grassroots governance and peace-building across the state.
He assured the governor of the traditional institution’s unwavering support for his administration.
