‘You’ll be dropped’: Oborevwori threatens to sack commissioners

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has threatened to sack some commissioners in his cabinet.

Oborevwori made this known while inaugurating the state-of-the-art eight units of four-bedroom duplex with two boys’ quarters each for the commissioners in Asaba, the capital of Delta State, on Monday, June 2, 2025.

The governor, who acknowledged the Delta State Commissioner for Housing, Godknows Angele, for his performance, said commissioners who failed in their duties would be shown the way out.

Oborevwori explained that the construction of the building was informed by the shortage of accommodations, as only 22 out of the 30 commissioners were accommodated in their quarters.

He said there were numerous benefits for all the commissioners to live in the quarters, which include cooperation, unity and bonding together, boosting productivity, work ethics, and discipline among them.

Oborevwori said: “So, last year February, the state executive council approved the construction of the eight-bedroom duplex to complement, and this has shown our demonstration of commitment to the well-being of our top government functionaries.

“Again, I want to commend our commissioners for being loyal and hardworking. There are lots of rumours about governor wanting to dissolve his cabinet. Nobody has heard from me.

“If you are not performing, you will be dropped, but if you are performing, you will stay. At the moment, three commissioners are not performing, and I told one of them today that he is not doing well.”

Speaking, Angele thanked the governor for giving him the opportunity to deliver and for closely supervising the ministry’s projects.
