The FOOG Women Support Group, with structures across Delta\u2019s 25 local government areas, is not just another political organization. It is a movement of mothers, professionals, market women, teachers, artisans, and community leaders, women who believe their voices and votes can shape the nation\u2019s destiny. Chief Okotie-Eboh, a respected matriarch and businesswoman, said the group\u2019s strength lies in its community focus. \u201cWe are not just mobilizing women to vote; we are empowering them to lead. Every woman above 18 in Delta must see herself as a stakeholder, not a spectator, in the development process,\u201d she explained. In Delta\u2019s political landscape, women\u2019s networks have always been formidable. From mobilizing for social causes to shaping electoral outcomes, their influence runs deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s changing now, analysts say, is that the energy is being channelled toward structured civic participation under the leadership of Governor Oborevwori, a governor increasingly seen as the people\u2019s governor. Since taking office, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has steadily grown in popularity, not through grandstanding, but through quiet, measurable impact. His approach to governance has been anchored on inclusivity, peace-building, and people-oriented policies. In a state as diverse and complex as Delta, this is no small achievement. The governor has worked to ensure that every ethnic and political bloc feels represented, a reflection of his belief that \u201cwithout peace, diversity becomes weakness.\u201d Under his watch, the Delta State Advisory and Peace Building Council has effectively mediated communal disputes, while investments in roads, schools, and healthcare have continued across all senatorial districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To many Deltans, Oborevwori represents a new kind of leadership \u2014 firm but empathetic, pragmatic yet people-driven. It is this brand of leadership that has endeared him to the grassroots and inspired groups like FOOG Women to align with his vision. \u201cGovernor Oborevwori is not just building infrastructure; he\u2019s rebuilding trust,\u201d said Mrs. Elizabeth Okoloko, a retired teacher and member of FWSG in Ethiope East. \u201cWhen we see his humility and how he listens to ordinary people, we know our state is in good hands.\u201d At the federal level, President Tinubu\u2019s Renewed Hope Agenda continues to shape the national conversation around economic reform, empowerment, and inclusive governance. Despite the short-term pains of restructuring, the President\u2019s insistence on laying a solid economic foundation resonates with many who understand the long-term vision. For Chief Okotie-Eboh and her group, Tinubu\u2019s political courage mirrors Oborevwori\u2019s compassionate leadership. \u201cBoth men are reformers in their own right,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey understand that true progress requires difficult choices, but those choices are for the benefit of generations to come.\u201d The group has since embarked on a coordinated voter mobilization campaign that spans Delta\u2019s three senatorial districts, Delta North, Delta Central, and Delta South, ensuring that the women\u2019s voice is heard loud and clear ahead of 2027. Beyond politics, the FOOG Women Support Group carries the essence of community solidarity. Born out of the Friends of Oborevwori Group (FOOG) political family, the women\u2019s arm has evolved into a formidable sociopolitical force focused on capacity building, skills acquisition, and mentorship for women and girls. The Convener\u2019s personal story adds a layer of authenticity. As a mother, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, Chief Okotie-Eboh embodies the blend of strength and compassion that defines the group\u2019s ethos. \u201cOur strength is in our unity and our belief in a better Delta, a better Nigeria,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are mothers; we understand sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are ready to nurture this vision until it blossoms.\u201d The media parley also coincided with Nigeria\u2019s 65th Independence Anniversary, giving the event a patriotic flavour. Chief Okotie-Eboh used the moment to call for renewed hope and national solidarity. \u201cAs we mark 65 years of independence, we must remember that our greatest strength lies in our unity and resilience. Nigeria has endured, and under the leadership of President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori, it will rise again,\u201d she declared. She urged Nigerians to move beyond cynicism and embrace the collective responsibility of nation-building. Her message was clear \u2014 progress requires partnership, and leadership is only as effective as the followership that supports it. As the 2027 elections draw closer, political observers say groups like the FOOG Women Support Group will play a defining role in shaping voter behaviour and consolidating grassroots loyalty. Already, Governor Oborevwori\u2019s approval ratings have surged, thanks to his people-first governance style and steady implementation of the MORE Agenda. From Asaba to Warri, from Ughelli to Bomadi, his message of peace, inclusion, and empowerment is finding resonance. Dr. Chris Adjeke, a political analyst based in Sapele, notes that \u201cwhat makes Sheriff different is his accessibility. He doesn\u2019t lead from a distance, he engages. That\u2019s why he\u2019s connecting with people beyond party lines.\u201d The renewed wave of support from women\u2019s groups, youth organizations, and community associations is a signal that politics in Delta is evolving. The old order of transactional politics is giving way to participatory leadership rooted in shared values. For FOOG Women and their charismatic convener, the journey has just begun. With passion, structure, and a deep sense of purpose, they are determined to deliver what Chief Okotie-Eboh calls \u201ca people-powered victory\u201d for Tinubu and Oborevwori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Credit: ThisDay<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In Warri, Delta State\u2019s oil-rich heartland, the atmosphere was electric, part celebration, part declaration of loyalty.
