Ozobo Puts Oborevwori on the Spot Over Federal Flyovers, Demands Full Account of Delta Funds
Niger Delta activist, Comrade Ozobo Austin, has mounted pressure on Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, demanding a full account of public funds spent on flyovers and major road projects reportedly executed on federal roads across the state.
In a strongly worded press statement issued on November 11, 2026, Ozobo challenged the governor to explain why state resources were committed to projects on federal roads while several state-owned roads, according to him, remain in deplorable condition.
He identified the flyovers at Enerhen Junction in Warri, PTI Junction in Effurun, DSC Roundabout in Uvwie, Otovwodo Junction in Ughelli and Uromi Junction in Agbor, as well as the NPA Expressway, as projects requiring detailed financial disclosure.
The activist questioned whether the state government had entered into reimbursement arrangements with the Federal Government for the projects and demanded that Oborevwori disclose their total costs, the terms of any agreements and the destination of any refunds received.
“Deltans deserve to know where every kobo spent on these projects is going,” Ozobo insisted, challenging the governor to provide clear answers rather than present the projects as unquestionable achievements of his administration.
He also questioned the reported delay in commissioning some of the flyovers, demanding an explanation for their status and the government’s position on their ownership.
Ozobo further criticised the administration’s MORE Agenda, arguing that the construction of flyovers on federal roads should not overshadow the condition of state roads and other pressing development needs across Delta State.
He maintained that public infrastructure must be accompanied by transparency, proper financial accounting and measurable benefits to residents. He warned that the governor’s handling of the issues could attract serious political consequences during the 2027 general elections.
The activist therefore challenged Oborevwori to publish the project costs, clarify the reimbursement arrangements and account for any funds recovered from the Federal Government.
The allegations and financial concerns raised by Ozobo have not been independently verified. In the interest of fairness and balanced reporting, efforts were made to obtain the Delta State Government’s response to the issues raised. However, these efforts were unsuccessful as the relevant authorities could not be reached before publication. The government’s position has therefore not been reflected in this report. The Delta State Government is welcome to provide its response or clarification, which will be duly considered for publication.
