“I am happy to celebrate Christmas in Asaba with all of you. I assure Deltans there will be peace during this festive season,” he said. “I know these are trying times, but I believe 2025 will be better than this year.”

The governor also expressed condolences to families affected by recent stampedes in parts of the country. He prayed for God to grant them strength and comfort in their losses.

Looking ahead, Governor Oborevwori expressed optimism for the coming year. “2025 will be a year of consolidation,” he said. “I pray for unity in Delta State and Nigeria as we work together for a brighter future.”
