    The Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, has threatened to move council chairmen over the security challenges in the state.

    Oborevwori, speaking in Asaba, delivered a harsh warning to Delta State’s local government chairmen over shortcomings in security leadership.

    The Governor, concerned about the escalating insecurity in sections of the state, issued a harsh warning to local government council chairmen, urging that regular attendance and active participation in monthly security council meetings are not negotiable.

    The Delta governor said, “If you are weak as a council chairman, we will remove you.

    “Security is a shared responsibility, and as council chairmen, you campaigned to win the election, and you should know your environment very well. House of Assembly members and commissioners from every local government; we must all do our best to ensure that we have enhanced peace and security in our various local government areas.

    “The insecurity in the state has been compounded by the influx of undesirable elements from neighbouring states, especially from across the Niger.

    “Very soon, we shall deploy technology to help detect and engage all these criminals undermining the peace of our dear state.

    “I earnestly expect that our local government council chairmen, who are the chief security officers of their local government, should hold their security council meetings regularly and brief me through the commissioner for local government or brief me directly.”

    The governor threatened to hold the ALGON chairman and his executives accountable for the failure of council chairmen to hold regular security council meetings, and he urged council chairmen to collaborate with traditional rulers in their local government regions.

    He said, “As a governor, I manage all the traditional rulers in the state. So if I can manage all of them, you can also manage the traditional rulers in your respective local government areas.

    “Look at the rate of crime in our society today; our children are into drugs and all sorts of social vices. So you need to check what is happening around you. We will not take any form of laxity from any chairman. By the time we use one or two persons as examples, others will sit up.”
