In his remarks, Esewezie acknowledged the policy direction of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the support of Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, noting that the council remained committed to delivering tangible projects that directly improve residents’ lives. “We are going to campaign with projects, not promises,” he declared.
