Give same attention you gave to politics to security,Group to Oborevwori,say Fulani herdsmen killing Deltans

A group under the auspices of Initiative For Social Rights Concerns
And Advancement(ISRCA) AKA “No Justice, No Peace” today urged Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori to give the same importance/attention you give to politics to the security and well being of residents with in the State the way he did to politics. The group said he should ensure the safeguarding of lives and properties.
The group said this constitutes the fundamental objectives of governance.
ISRCA National Coordinator, Comrade (Amb) Derrick Oritsematosan Agberen said this in a statement sent to Our Correspondent in Warri.
The group said the escalating insecurity challenges, which have transcended specific areas and are progressively spreading to other areas and communities across the State, necessitate prompt concern and attention from the government.
The group said Fulani herdsmen are ravaging Delta State, killing citizens of the including, men, women as well as making children orphans.
"These are facts we cannot hide or sweep under the carpet, as they are getting closer to the people each day that passes by. The kidnapping rate in Delta State has reached its peak, from Asaba to Ogwashi, from Ogwashi to Ughelli, Abraka, Ozoro; almost the whole communities in Delta State are affected, but the State Government won't do anything to end this mess."
According to the group,"Apart from issues of cultism ravaging some areas in State, which are effects from the State Government that could have been stitched in time either by gainful employment or radical youth’s engagement where the State Government has feigned itself from genuinely being impactful but focuses so much on its politics rather than the people it governs."
The group who reacted to the defe rion of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori from the People's Democratic Party, PDP to the All Progressives Congress, APC said, no performing governor will join another political party no matter the pressure.
The group noted that Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori has been the best of all Governors when it comes to infrastructural development with notable awards from top-ranking TV networking communications and newspaper publishers.
"thanks to the singular decision he took, awarding one of the best roads/flyovers construction contracts in Nigeria today."
According to the group,"For her dear Governor to defect to APC, I wondered what he was trying to put away or maybe sustain. Should I assume he failed when he did not, considering that he is nearly two years in office, or could state party politics be responsible for this new decision? Or could I say it was fear of the unknown breeze that may blow in the future, which warranted him to take refuge in the ruling party in Nigeria?"
The group added that,"We have seen situations in Nigeria where defection savaged a serving politician, but what happens when the opposition again sits on the wheel of power?
"Yesterday PDP.
Today APC..
Tomorrow, it could be LP or SDP."
The group stressed that the insecurity situation in Delta State should be an issue of concern for the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's led administration as it is becoming worse by the day.
The group pointed out that,"Despite efforts from the Nigeria Police Force Delta State to curb the insecurity challenges, these sad occurrences keep resurfacing, which has made the people frequently ask if there is a government in Delta State and whether or not they care about the situation faced by residents and the indigenous populace.
"Does it mean that the Nigeria Police Force Delta State Command isn’t doing enough to clamp down on the insecurity menace, including herdsmen attacks on farmers and villagers in our communities, kídnappingş, armed robberies and related crimes?
"Amidst numerous police checkpoints where stop-and-search operations take place, this incident seems to suggest that nothing is being done. Or is it that they are mainly focused on young boys with flashy cars from whom they can extort money, or are they satisfied with collecting N100 from commercial motorists?"
