Sir Festus Ahon, Chief Press Secretary to Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, has debunked the rumour that Oborevwori is being pressured by the immediate past Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa on the choice of his cabinet members.
Ahon in a statement on Sunday in Asaba, debunked the report by a section of the media saying it is unfounded and a figment of the imagination of the writers.
He appealed to journalists to avoid speculations that could heat up the polity.
According to him, Gov. Oborevwori is taking his time to pick suitable and competent hands to be appointed into the State Executive Council.
“The governor is not under pressure from anyone, not even his predecessor, on choice of cabinet members as was wrongly reported.
“The State House of Assembly was constituted on June 13 and thereafter went on recess for two weeks and only reconvened on Tuesday June 27.
“The governor will pick credible and capable persons devoid of sentiments that will help him deliver on his M.O.R.E Agenda for the people of Delta.
“The report is therefore wrong in its entirety and born out of mischief. Former Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa does not interfere with appointments.”
Ahon enjoined the people of the state to be patient with the government saying it is poised to deliver more for them.(NAN)
