Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme has urged political office holders not to waver in their support for Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.

Mr Onyeme said this on Friday at a meeting of elected and appointed political office holders from Ndokwa West, held at his country home in Ibabu, Onicha-Ukwuani, Ndokwa West LGA.

According to him, loyalty should be 100 per cent, and political office holders should also be telling the people what the government is doing.

“This administration of Rt Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori is ours, and it is very favourable to our people.

“All political office holders are expected to support this administration and that of our President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Our support for the All Progressives Congress is 100 per cent. There must be no compromise.

“As political office holders, we should let the people know what the government is doing; be advocates of the government wherever you find yourself,” the deputy governor said.

He said that the meeting was necessary as they were members of one political family, calling on the attendees to always preach peace and show love to one another.
