Delta State governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori has said that he has been vindicated over those who questioned his educational qualifications during the 2023 electioneering campaign
He said: “Some persons who were bent on tarnishing my image during the 2023 electioneering campaign, went around saying that I did not go to school.”
The governor stated this at Government House, Asaba, when members of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association of Ambrose Alli University, AAU, Ekpoma, Worldwide, paid him a courtesy visit.
Oborevwori said: “I am proud that I graduated from that University and that I am the first to be a governor from that University.”
The Governor during the visit was presented with Ambrose Alli University Alumni Association Hero’s Award, and the Ambrose Alli University Alumni Association Award of Excellence.
“I am greatly honoured for the Hero award and the award of Excellence that you bestowed on me. I sincerely appreciate everything,” Oborevwori said.
“I have a lot of regards for Ambrose Alli University, AAU. There was a time during the political season when they said that l did not go to school. You know in politics, there is a lot of blackmail.
“I did a full-time programme at AAU. I am a man with excessive local content. I believe in Nigeria and in this state.
“I graduated with second class upper after my BSc. I was a student who didn’t make noise; and today, all my coursemates at Ekpoma still support me.
“Not only that, I did my MSc programme at Delta State University, Abraka. I was among the pioneer students of MSc and I value it.
“The University stood by me all through the court case even the opposition lawyers were shocked. I still have my matriculation number.”
