Delta Gov’s Aide Resigns, Accuses Oborevwori Of Paying Lip Service To Insecurity
The Senior Special Assistant on Civil Society and Youth Mobilisation to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Harrison Gwamnishu, has tendered his resignation, citing ongoing insecurity in the state.
Gwamnishu, in his letter of resignation, a copy posted on his X account, said all efforts to make the governor who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress, address the pressing concerns were thrown out.
He noted that the administration is not ready for meaningful solutions to the problem, adding that the situation has rendered him unable to fulfill his duties with integrity.
The letter read in part, “This decision comes after a considerable reflection and a deep sense of disappointment regarding the ongoing issues of insecurity in our communities, which I have continuously brought to your attention.
“Despite numerous messages, calls , blueprint documents aimed at addressing these pressing concerns, have all been thrown out, I have come to the unfortunate realization that meaningful solutions are not being accepted by your administration.
“As a civil rights leader, I accepted this appointment as a commitment to serve and protect our community. However, the continuous escalation of insecurity and the persistent lack of action to provide effective resolutions have rendered me unable to fulfill my duties with the integrity and effectiveness that I believe are essential.
“My commitment to the safety and well-being of our communities remains unwavering, but my agitation is that these crucial issues of insecurity ought to be prioritized. It is my hope that my resignation will drive the urgent need for action and inspire a renewed focus on the safety of our citizens.
“I am grateful for the opportunities I was bestowed during my time and for the relationship I have built with my colleagues and community members and the state at large. I genuinely hope for a future where we can work together to create a safer and more secure Delta state for all.”
