Governor Sheriff Oborevwori vs. Egbema Kingdom Underdevelopment: A Growing Concern

By EgbemaVoice

The Egbema Kingdom in Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State, has played a crucial role in the state's economy, particularly in oil and gas contributions. Despite their importance, the kingdom faces stark underdevelopment, a situation that has become more pronounced under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's administration, now 18 months in office.

According to the Youth leader Comrade Mingo Meshach Saya Ogumaka, popularly called Egbema Agog lamenting the diplorable situation his people have undergone for years in Warri North local Government Area and Delta state, he highlighted the following concerns,

Egbema Kingdom's Concerns

1. Neglect in Appointments
The Egbema people feel sidelined in state-level political appointments despite their significant contributions to the economy. The absence of Egbema indigenes in strategic decision-making positions reflects a lack of inclusion and recognition.

2. Poor Infrastructure Development
Egbema Kingdom is plagued by a lack of basic infrastructure. The long-abandoned Udo-Ofunama road exemplifies this neglect, leaving the people without access to essential services. Schools, hospitals, and electricity remain inadequate or entirely absent.

3. Marginalization and Unequal Resource Distribution
Egbema communities, including Asigborodor and others overtaken by water hyacinths, feel treated as "third-class citizens." The glaring disparities in development compared to other parts of Delta State highlight the government's neglect.

Expectations from Governor Sheriff Oborevwori

1. Inclusive Appointments
The Egbema people demand that qualified indigenes be appointed to influential positions to represent their voices in governance.

2. Infrastructure Development
Immediate attention to critical projects like the Udo-Ofunama road and other infrastructure is essential. These projects could alleviate the suffering of the people and bring tangible benefits to the kingdom.

3. Investment in Education and Healthcare
Developing schools and healthcare facilities would significantly improve the quality of life and opportunities for the people of Egbema Kingdom.

4. Engagement with Oil Companies
The state government should collaborate with oil companies operating in Egbema to ensure effective corporate social responsibility initiatives that benefit the communities directly.

Egbema Kingdom’s Growing Frustrations

Despite their overwhelming electoral support for Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the people feel betrayed. They lament the absence of tangible benefits and perceive their trust as having been misplaced.

Key Issues of Concern:

Unfulfilled Promises: No significant developmental projects or appointments have materialized.

Sense of Betrayal: The lack of government action has disillusioned the people, questioning their political choices.

Ongoing Marginalization: Neglect of infrastructure and development fuels feelings of being forgotten.

Call to Action

The people of Egbema Kingdom are urging Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to take swift action:

1. Commission Tangible Projects: Prioritize and deliver critical infrastructure like roads, schools, hospitals, and electricity.

2. Engage with the Community: Visit Egbema to engage directly with its people and address their grievances.

3. Ensure Fair Representation: Include Egbema indigenes in key political and administrative appointments.

Conclusion

The Egbema Kingdom has long been a cornerstone of Delta State’s economy, yet its development lags far behind. The people are watching closely, hoping Governor Sheriff Oborevwori will fulfill his promises and prove his commitment to their progress.

"If Governor Sheriff truly has Egbema Kingdom at heart, he should commission at least one project in the kingdom after 18 months in office. This will prove his dedication to the development of our region and his acknowledgment of our contributions to Delta State."

This growing call for accountability reflects the people's frustration but also their hope for meaningful change. The time for action is now.
