Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has paid glowing tribute to his son, Sheriff Jnr, on the occasion of his 40th birthday, describing him as “a calm, wise, and courageous young man” who has grown into a quiet pillar of strength and honour.
In a message filled with fatherly pride and deep reflection, Governor Oborevwori praised his son’s remarkable independence and personal discipline, noting that for more than a decade, Sheriff Jnr has navigated life with dignity, self-reliance, and integrity – choosing to stand on his own, not out of necessity, but out of conviction.
“You have shown unwavering strength, humility, and independence throughout the years,” the governor wrote. He added, “Not because you had to, but because you believed in facing life with courage and responsibility.”
Describing Sheriff Jnr as “a true son of his father,” the Governor reflected on his son’s quiet but impactful presence, calling him a reflection of the values he holds dear – kindness, calmness, service, and wisdom.
“You are not just my son. You are a reflection of all the best values I hold dear,” he said. “You continue to inspire me every single day.”
Governor Oborevwori’s message, rare in its personal tone, offered a glimpse into a private relationship defined not by privilege, but by mutual respect, strength of character, and emotional restraint.
The tribute also shed light on Sheriff Jnr’s quiet resilience—a man who never demanded attention, never asked for help, and never relied on his father’s position, yet continued to build a life of meaning through hard work and quiet perseverance.
“You have stood tall on your own, working hard with dedication and integrity,” Oborevwori wrote. “That takes character. That takes heart.”
As his son marks another milestone, Governor Oborevwori offered prayers for peace, joy, and greater success in the coming year, urging him to continue shining and staying true to the values that have brought him this far.
“May this year bring you more success, peace, and joy than ever before,” he said. “Keep shining, Junior. The world is better with you in it.
“Congratulations once again, my son. Your legacy is already being written—not by loudness, but by the quiet strength of your character,” Governor Oborevwori added.
