… Hails Members for Conducting Rancour-Free Campaigns
By Patrick Ochei
The Honourable Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr Charles Ehiedu Aniagwu, has declared that the Delta State Government, under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, is not interested in supporting any camp ahead of the Delta State Council election of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), scheduled for Thursday, October 15, 2026.
He made this clarification while attending the congress of the State Ministry of Information Chapel in Asaba, during a visit by the STAND-UP Team as the final stop on its campaign tour.
The Commissioner stated that the Delta State Government would not take sides with any of the rival groups but would support whichever team eventually emerges victorious in the election.
Aniagwu, however, commended both teams—the STAND-UP Team and the Power Consolidation Team—for conducting their campaigns maturely so far, without any form of rancour or violence.
He noted that one positive aspect of the election was that both chairmanship candidates were from the Ministry of Information, which falls under his purview as Commissioner. He assured the candidates that whoever wins the race would receive the government’s partnership and support to strengthen the journalism profession in the state.
