Fresh waves of controversy have engulfed Delta State following remarks reportedly made by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori during a public gathering in Warri on Friday. The Governor’s statement, which has since circulated widely across social and political circles, has sparked sharp reactions from residents, stakeholders, and ethnic leaders within the oil-rich city.
According to reports, Governor Oborevwori addressed the long-standing tension among the Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Urhobo ethnic nationalities in Warri, a region that has historically witnessed communal disputes rooted in issues of land ownership, political dominance, and resource control.
