Publishers of Community Newspaper under the aegis of Association of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria (ACNPN), Delta State Council have congratulated Rt (Hon) Sheriff Oborevwori on his swearing in as governor of the State.
This was contained in a release signed by the Chairman, Comrade Jude Obiemenyego and Secretary, Comrade Mercy Akuba made available to Journalists in Asaba.
The Association charged the governor to partner with the Community Newspapers in the State to achieve greater impacts in the lives of the rural dwellers In Delta State.
The Chairman said “As our amiable patron, we promise to support you to succeed as long as you put in the necessary policy thrusts that will make the state better for growth and development.”
With the wealth of experience of the governor over the years, we call on Deltans to give him total support without doubts in their minds because Oborevwori’s administration will build on consolidation, growth, investment and economic reforms and making the youths centre piece of his policies and programme.
Also, we advise the governor to consider so many factors in appointing his media aides. He should look inward on those closer to the Publishers/Journalists and must understand the rudiments and operational base of the media and government.
The governor should not allow his aides to determine the relationship that exists between the Publishers of the Community Newspapers and his government, to avoid relegating his achievements in different local governments to the background.
“We counsel you that your brilliant experience should not be eclipsed by greed and quest for selfish and personal aggrendizement because your emergence was a major pointer that politics today is tilting towards the people. It is also a pointer that when the right people are Chosen to fly the party’s flag, winning becomes seamless.”
Your Excellency, the best way to thank Deltans for the mandate given to you is by giving your best shot and delivering on your campaign promises.
As the umbrella body of all practicing Community Newspaper Publishers in the State, we wish you the best as you step into the number one seat of the State.
