Deaconess Oborevwori Urges Delta Women Leaders to Uphold Unity, Peace as Yuletide Celebrations Begin

The Wife of the Governor of Delta State, Her Excellency Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, has called on women leaders across the state to sustain unity, peace, and active grassroots engagement as the Yuletide season begins and the state prepares for the year ahead.

She made the call on Monday, December 15, 2025, during the End-of-Year Party organised for wives of top government functionaries, held in Government House, Asaba.

The event brought together wives of non-sitting members of the 7th Assembly, wives of members of the 8th Assembly, commissioners’ wives, council chairmen’s wives, and party leaders’ wives.

In her remarks, Deaconess Oborevwori expressed deep gratitude to God and appreciated the women for their sacrifices, loyalty, commitment, and courage, describing the gathering as more than a social event but a celebration of unity, shared purpose, and strong bonds.

According to her, the women play critical roles at the frontline of engagement by nurturing relationships and strengthening the bond between leadership and the people, thereby sustaining political and governance structures even in challenging times.
