Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to the preservation and promotion of the state’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.
Oborevwori made the statement on Thursday, during a visit from the President and leaders of the Organisation for the Advancement of Anioma Culture, who paid him a courtesy visit at Government House, Asaba, Delta State.
While commending OFAAC for its dedication to the promotion of Anioma cultural heritage, the governor pledged his administration’s full support for OFAAC and similar cultural organisations.
I commend OFAAC’s tirelessness and dedication to preserving Anioma culture, heritage, and identity. Your efforts are crucial in promoting our rich traditions and values.
“As a government, we reaffirm our commitment to preserving cultural heritage across the state and supporting initiatives that promote festivals and language, which are essential in shaping our identity.
“Under our M.O.R.E. Agenda, we have implemented key projects across the Anioma nation and throughout the state. I am particularly grateful to the Anioma people for their strong support and love,” he said.
Oborevwori lauded the inclusiveness of OFAAC’s activities, noting its practice of inviting other ethnic groups to its events, which he said fosters unity and cultural harmony across the state.
Earlier, OFAAC President, Arc. Kester Ifeadi, said the purpose of the visit was to formally inform the governor about the group’s forthcoming cultural fiesta, scheduled for Easter Monday.
He described Oborevwori as a “detribalised leader” and commended his administration’s developmental strides across all three senatorial districts in the state.
Ifeadi reaffirmed the support of the Anioma people for the governor’s M.O.R.E. Agenda, emphasising that OFAAC would continue to be a platform for promoting unity among deltans.
