  By Wilson Macaulay WARRI Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Political Matters, Hon. Francis Obule, JP, has described those who persistently criticise the administration of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori despite what he called the governor’s visible achievements across the state as “enemies of progress.” Obule was reacting to a recent publication in which Pa Daniel Adjoboefe reportedly declared that Governor Oborevwori had failed Deltans, insisting that such a conclusion was unfair, politically motivated and inconsistent with the realities on ground across the state.

The governor’s aide challenged critics to move beyond political rhetoric and objectively assess the impact of the administration across the various sectors of the state. He...
