Delta First Lady Refutes Neglect Allegations, Showcases Robust Support for Ugbori Quintuplet Family

Delta State’s First Lady, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, has dismissed a viral social‑media video suggesting the government ignored the Joseph family—recent parents to quintuplets in Ugbori, Warri South LGA. In an official statement, she detailed the personal and financial assistance already extended to the family, underscoring her ongoing commitment to vulnerable households across the state.

In a Tuesday communique from her media office, Deaconess Oborevwori labeled the online clip “misleading” and clarified that both her office and the Delta State Government have actively supported Mr. and Mrs. Joseph since the birth of their five newborns.

“Shortly after the delivery, I visited the Joseph family in Ugbori,” the First Lady’s statement reads, “accompanied by Hon. Weyinmi Agbateyinro, Chairman of Warri South Local Government Council, and his wife, Mrs. Roli Agbateyinro.”

During the home visit, Deaconess Oborevwori presented the family with:

* Substantial cash gifts to cover immediate needs
* Essential baby and household supplies
* Keys to a fully stocked retail shop, customized to Mrs. Joseph’s business plans
* Rent prepayment for five years on a comfortable three‑bedroom apartment

While acknowledging that additional assistance requests may surface, the First Lady urged well‑meaning citizens and media outlets to recognize and amplify the significant relief already delivered, rather than perpetuate narratives that discount the government’s efforts.

“Our office remains committed to ensuring that every newborn and every family in Delta State receives the care and support they deserve,” Deaconess Oborevwori emphasized. “We encourage verification of facts before sharing unsubstantiated claims.”

1. Home Visit & Gift Delivery: Direct engagement by the First Lady and local council leadership.

4. Call for Responsible Reporting:bAppeal to the public to confirm details before circulating viral content.

Deaconess Oborevwori concluded by reaffirming her office’s dedication to vulnerable families and newborn welfare programs throughout Delta State, pledging continued collaboration with community leaders and social agencies.
