Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori says his monthly salary is ₦503,000, while a Permanent Secretary in the state earns ₦900,000. He makes the comparison in a viral video recorded at an event in Asaba, the state capital.
In the video, Oborevwori also states that the Head of Service earns ₦1 million per month. The reports frame his disclosure as a statement about pay differences between political leadership and senior civil service roles, without providing independent verification or citing official pay-roll documents.
Both outlets present the same figures—₦503,000 for the governor and ₦900,000 for permanent secretaries—linking the claims to the same viral video and general context of state governance and staff welfare. Neither source describes broader policy changes beyond the salary comparison.
