DELTA GOVERNOR’S WIFE DEBUNKS QUINTUPLETS NEGLECT CLAIMS
The wife of Delta State Governor, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, has denied claims that the state government neglected the family of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph, who recently gave birth to quintuplets in Ugbori, Warri South Local Government Area. In a statement released by her media office, Deaconess Oborevwori described a trending video circulating on social media making such claims as “misleading”. She emphasized that both her office and the Delta State Government had already provided significant support to the family. According to Deaconess Oborevwori, she personally visited the Joseph family at their residence shortly after the birth of the quintuplets, accompanied by the Chairman of Warri South Local Government Council, Hon. Weyinmi Agbateyinro, and his wife, Roli Agbateyinro. During the visit, Deaconess Oborevwori presented the family with cash gifts and essential materials. She also handed over the keys to a fully stocked shop, based on Mrs. Joseph’s request regarding the type of business she wished to operate. Additionally, she paid five years’ rent for a three-bedroom flat in a decent and comfortable environment for the family. While acknowledging that calls for further assistance to the family cannot be entirely ruled out, Deaconess Oborevwori stressed that such appeals should not be made in a manner that undermines or disregards the genuine and substantial support already provided by the state government. Deaconess Oborevwori urged members of the public to verify information before sharing and assured that her office remains committed to supporting vulnerable families and newborns across Delta State.
