The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his economic reforms and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for the implementation of the MORE Agenda, describing both initiatives as complementary efforts driving development and economic growth in Delta State.
In a Democracy Day message issued on Friday and signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, Esq., the party joined Nigerians in celebrating the nation’s democratic journey, while highlighting the gains of democratic governance at both the federal and state levels.
The APC noted that Governor Oborevwori’s administration has continued to deliver critical infrastructure, stimulate economic growth, and improve the welfare of residents through the MORE Agenda.
The party also acknowledged what it described as the positive impact of President Tinubu’s bold economic reforms, stating that although the policies have required sacrifices from citizens, they are gradually repositioning the country’s economy for long-term stability and sustainable growth.
According to the statement, the alignment between the Federal Government’s economic policies and Delta State’s developmental programmes is creating opportunities for investment, job creation, and infrastructural development across the state.
Speaking on the significance of Democracy Day, Delta APC Chairman, Chief Solomon Arenyeka, said democracy remains essential to national development because it promotes popular participation and accountability in governance.
“Democracy remains the bedrock of national development because it guarantees the participation of the people in governance and ensures accountability in leadership. Today, we celebrate not only our democratic journey but also the tangible gains arising from good governance at both the federal and state levels,” he said.
Arenyeka further praised President Tinubu’s leadership, describing the ongoing reforms as necessary steps toward rebuilding the nation’s economy.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated courage and foresight in implementing reforms aimed at rebuilding and strengthening the Nigerian economy. In Delta State, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s strategic deployment of available resources through the MORE Agenda is translating these opportunities into visible development and improved living conditions for our people.”
He added that the developments demonstrate how effective leadership can positively impact citizens regardless of political affiliations.
“This is a clear demonstration that when leaders focus on service and development, citizens benefit regardless of political differences,” Arenyeka stated.
The APC chairman called on Deltans and Nigerians to continue supporting policies and programmes that promote national unity, economic prosperity, and democratic consolidation.
The party also paid tribute to the heroes of democracy whose sacrifices contributed to the country’s democratic evolution, urging citizens to remain committed to peace, patriotism, and active participation in the democratic process.
The statement concluded with a goodwill message to Nigerians as the nation marked the 2026 Democracy Day celebration.
