The Asagba of Asaba, His Majesty, Professor Epiphany Chigbogu Azinge, SAN, has expressed support for the relection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor of Delta State.

The monarch said the President has initiated and executed reforms that have gone a long way in reshaping and stabilising the country.
Prof. Azinge spoke in Asaba when he received the Delta State Coordinator of Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Rt. Hon. Funkekeme Solomon, who was at the palace to congratulate the monarch on the second anniversary of his coronation.
Recalling his first meeting with the president in Aso Rock, he said “When I met the President in March 2025, Delta State was a PDP state. We had a fruitful discussion with him and he has addressed most of the issues raised. On returning, we reported back to the governor who expressed delight with the outcome.”
He said it is not unusual for traditional rulers to stand with the government, adding that “we are in synch with what the government is doing. We will continue convincing our people on why it is imperative to continue in this direction.
Also endorsing Governor Oborevwori quest for a second term, Prof. Azinge said: “We are 100% behind the governor and other APC candidates.” He commended Solomon for his passion in disseminating the benefits to Nigerians inherent in President Tinubu’s reforms through the Renewed Hope Ambassadors initiative.
The monarch commended Solomon for the passion and diligence with which he been undertaking his mandate. “I applaud and acknowledge the fact you have been undertaking your mandate with zeal. You have been everywhere. You were with the traditional rulers council the other day and articulated eloquently the message of the president. I urge you not to relent. Your labour will not be in vain,” he told Solomon.
Speaking earlier, Solomon who is also the Senior Policy Adviser to Governor Oborevwori, said as someone who has been living in Asaba since the creation of Delta State, he has been a front row observer of the tremendous transformation of the Delta State capital city. He thanked the monarch for the immense upgrade in the development of Asaba since he ascended the throne of his ancestors two years ago and prayed for God’s continued blessings and wisdom in his reign.
Solomon was accompanied on the visit by some staff of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, including Chief Mrs. Uche Onwusanya, Ms Augusta Keneboh, Mr. Pius Mordi and Dr. Tola Ogbe.
