Senator representing Delta Central in the National Assembly, Senator Ede Dafinone, has issued a strong rallying call to Nigerians and Deltans to remain steadfast in their support for the administrations of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, declaring that both leaders were fully prepared for the responsibilities they now shoulder.
Dafinone described President Tinubu as the most prepared president in Nigeria’s history, insisting that his depth of experience, economic intellect, and national network equipped him to confront the nation’s toughest challenges head-on.
According to the senator, Tinubu inherited an economy “in a state of coma” and responded with bold, decisive policies that have averted collapse and set Nigeria on a path to recovery.
The senator made these remarks on Tuesday while hosting leaders and members of the Senator Ede Dafinone’s political structures from the eight local government areas of Delta Central at an end-of-year luncheon held at his country home in Sapele.
“I have said it before, and I will say it again: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the most prepared president Nigeria has ever had. His education, his experience as governor, his understanding of the economy, and his network across the country prepared him for this job.
“Yes, he has taken tough decisions. Subsidies were removed. Things became difficult. But those subsidies were benefiting only a few. Today, things are beginning to adjust. Prices are coming down gradually. The president is watching the economy closely, and Nigeria will be better for it”, Dafinone said.
He also praised Governor Oborevwori for his infrastructural development across Delta State, stressing that his office would continue to partner the governor to attract more dividends of democracy to the people of Delta Central.
The lawmaker also called on the leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress APC) in Delta State to unite and work for the re-election of President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori as the nation heads into an electioneering season.
“We are all APC. Our governor is APC. Our president is APC. We must support them fully. We must work together at the federal, state, and local levels as one family. We are happy that Mr President and our amiable governor are doing well and deserve our unflinching support”, he added.
While reeling out some of his achievements in the Hollowed Chamber, the lawmaker maintained that he would continue to network and lobby for appointments and development of the senatorial district.
Dafinone assured that he would continue to operate an open-door policy and remained accessible to the people of Delta Central, and urged the people to suggest ideas and issues of immediate concern to the well-being of the area to him personally or his office.
APC stakeholders in Delta Central, Adelabu Bodjor, Chief Able Idigun, Chief Tuesday Onoge, and other leaders across the senatorial district commended Senator Dafinone’s performance in the Senate.
They assured him that they will mobilise support for his re-election in 2027, stressing that Delta Central would benefit more with a ranking lawmaker if re-elected in the forthcoming polls.
The event was attended by the Chief of Staff, Chief Adelabu Bojoh; Deputy Chief of Staff; Hon. Justin Oborerirhi Uloho; Chief Steve Sokoh; former Udu Local Government Chairman, Chief Fred Kakah; Hon.
