Widows, under the Delta State Widows’ Welfare Scheme have passed a vote of confidence on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, affirming their unflinching support for his administration, even as they endorsed him for a second term in office.
The widows made the declaration, recently, at Orerokpe in Okpe Local Government Area, during the commencement of the Free Medical Health Scheme registration for beneficiaries of the Widows Welfare Scheme across the state’s 25 Local Government Areas.
The initiative, facilitated through the Office of the Executive Assistant to the Governor on Social Investment Programmes, Chief Isioma Okonta, in partnership with the State Contributory Health Commission, led by Dr Isaac Akpoveta, aims to provide accessible healthcare services to widows already enrolled in the state’s welfare scheme.
The motion for the vote of confidence and endorsement of the Governor for 2027 was moved by Mrs. Christiana Ukavwe and seconded by Mrs. Vero German, drawing overwhelming approval from the gathering of widows.
Speaking at the event, Chief Okonta announced the commencement of monthly widows’ prayer sessions across the 25 Local Government Areas for Governor Oborevwori and his administration. The inaugural prayer session was led by Mrs. Patience Adaka.
Several government officials were also in attendance, including the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Special Duties and Delta Central Monitor, Mr. Uko Elume Martins; Executive Assistant on Political Matters and Delta South Supervisor, Chief Jerry Eruvwedede and the Executive Assistant on Community Development and Delta North Monitor, Chief Paul Osemele, among others.
The widows praised Governor Oborevwori for his commitment to their welfare and pledged their continuous prayers and loyalty to his administration through 2031.
