The Deputy Chief of Staff to the Delta State Governor, Christopher Osakwe, has called on entertainment operators to mobilize grassroots support for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori ahead of the 2027 general elections. Osakwe made the call during a courtesy visit by members of the Entertainment Movement for Oshimili North and South (ENFONS) in Asaba. He emphasized the importance of grassroots mobilization in strengthening communication between government and citizens.

According to Osakwe, President Tinubu's reforms have brought significant changes to the country, with positive impacts felt in Delta State. The reforms have addressed some of the challenges Nigerians previously faced, including salary arrears and fuel scarcity. Osakwe also highlighted Governor Oborevwori's efforts to support the Federal Government's Renewed Hope Agenda by implementing programmes in the state.

Osakwe commended Governor Oborevwori and his deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, for championing the Renewed Hope Agenda. He urged the entertainment group to continue sending out the message through their professional activities and expand their membership and reach. Osakwe emphasized that sustained grassroots engagement would raise awareness of government programmes and policies while providing citizens with opportunities to communicate their concerns to government.

The Deputy Chief of Staff stressed that the government would welcome groups supporting the President and the state administration. He encouraged ENFONS to grow its numbers and impact, allowing citizens to feel their presence. Osakwe's call aligns with the group's readiness to mobilize support for President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori ahead of the 2027 elections.

Earlier, ENFONS leader Hon. Frank Otoide expressed the group's willingness to mobilize support for the President and Governor. The group's efforts aim to promote awareness and support for government programmes and policies. By doing so, they can help strengthen the relationship between government and citizens.

The entertainment industry plays a significant role in shaping public opinion and mobilizing support for government initiatives. Osakwe's call to action highlights the importance of collaboration between government and the entertainment sector. By working together, they can promote government programmes and policies, ultimately benefiting citizens.
