I need every Deltan to read this carefully. These are not opinions. These are verified, published figures from Vanguard Nigeria, Punch Nigeria, The Guardian and Legit.ng.
Under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Delta State has approved and managed the following budgets:
📌 2023 — ₦809.4 Billion
📌 2024 — ₦725 Billion
📌 2025 — ₦936 Billion
📌 2026 — ₦1.729 Trillion
Total: ₦4.199 Trillion in approved budgets.
On top of that — Delta State led ALL 36 states in Nigeria with the highest FAAC allocation in 2025 alone, receiving ₦649.67 billion. The highest of any state in the country.
Now I want to ask the question every Deltan is thinking:
With ₦4.2 Trillion — what has meaningfully changed for the ordinary Deltan?
Over 1 million Deltans remain unemployed — among the highest in Nigeria. Our four ports — Warri, Koko, Sapele and Burutu — are still largely idle. Our graduates are still leaving for Lagos. Our youth are still on the streets.
Our market women still have zero access to structured government credit.
And here is something else nobody is talking about — the governor who was elected on a PDP platform quietly defected to APC in April 2025. The party changed. The accountability did not improve.
I am not throwing stones. I am asking the questions that ₦4.2 Trillion demands.
Where is the jobs agenda?
Where is the maritime development plan?
Where is the agricultural industrialisation programme?
Where are the vocational centres?
Where is the breakdown — naira by naira — of how this money was spent?
Deltans deserve answers. Not press releases. Not flyovers. Not awards. Answers.
Under a FOCUS administration — the books will be open. Every single naira that enters Delta State’s account will be publicly reported, tracked and accounted for. That is not a promise. That is a commitment from an engineer who has spent his entire career being accountable for every calculation he makes.
₦4.2 Trillion is enough to transform every life in Delta State. Under FOCUS — it will.
