The lawmaker made this declaration at the residence of the Chairman of the Warri Urhobo APC Leadership Council, Olorogun Bernard Okumagba, with other prominent party leaders and critical stakeholders in the Constituency, held on Sunday 3rd of May, 2026.
The event was massively attended by party members, supporters, loyalists, family, friends and well-wishers across all the political wards in the Constituency, including delegates from Ogunu/Okurode Ward and Bowen Ward un solidarity with Obire.
Obire gave a summary of his scorecard, where he listed some dividends of democracy and representation which benefitted several Constituents.
He explained within the period under review, he touched the very grassroot and commoners in the Constituency through the provision of free books and school bags for learners across the public primary schools in Warri South Constituency 2, namely: Agbassa Primary School, Caveginia Primary School, Olodi Primary School, Ighogbadu Primary School, Edjeba Primary School, Ikengbuwa Primary School, amongs others.
He assured leaders and members that there are other things ongoing such as provision of seats (Benches and Desks) for some public schools among others; renovation of public primary and secondary schools will soon be underway under his recently approved Constituency projects.
In his words: " I promise to significantly surpass whatever achievement I have recorded prior to this time and that a second tenure for me will usher in unprecedented dividends to the constituents".
The lawmaker hailed Delta Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who he noted has done excellently well beyond expectations with his laudable projects cut across the 25 Local government areas and he made bold to say that his constituency has hugely benefited from these projects that are verifiable and visible for all Deltans to see, especially that of the audacious Julius Berger overhead in Warri and Euffurun which is the first of it kind in Delta State.
He urges all and sundry to mobilise support for Oborevwori, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and all APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
Obire posited that Deltans would continue to enjoy the benefits of socio-economic reforms of the President Tinubu administration and the gallant and brilliant performance of the working Governor, who is poised to deliver far more in his second tenure.
Obire thanked Olorogun Bernard Okumagba for his quintessential, visionary, pragmatic and inclusive leadership that has brought worthy sons and daughters of the soil together and so much hope and light to Warri South Constituency 2; connecting the Constituency with the Federal and State governments.
He also thanked all leaders, stakeholders, party faithful, and supporters for making out time out from their tight schedules to attend the event.
Okumagba expressed appreciation to all present; particularly for the solidarity and unity of purpose.
He noted that the gathering was worth the while as Obire is a man known to be passionate about his people and that he would meet the expectations of the people of Warri South Constituency 2 in his second tenure.
Okumagba further urged all party members to engage in massive voter sensitisation and do well to mobilise same to vote enmasse for all APC candidates at all levels.
