Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has assured Deltans that his administration is committed to ensuring the security of lives and property in the state, following recent spate of kidnapping and armed robbery cases.

He spoke on Wednesday when he received on courtesy visit, the State Executive of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), led by the State Chairman, Bishop Kingsley Enakhireri at Government House, Asaba.

Specifically, the Governor commended the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and other religious leaders for their contributions to maintaining peace in the state during the ongoing protests.

He acknowledged the recent security challenges in some parts of the state but emphasized that the state remains peaceful.
The governor who stated that security of lives and property remained the primary purpose of Government, thanked Deltans for their support and called for more prayers to enable the administration resolve some of the seeming intractable challenges bedeviling the state.
