By Emmanuel Egbabor
In a world where acts of kindness and selfless service seem increasingly rare, Mrs. Tobore Oborevwori, the First Lady of Delta State, Nigeria, stands out as a beacon of hope and compassion. Often described as the “Mother Teresa of our time,” Mrs. Oborevwori’s deep commitment to humanitarian causes, her relentless efforts to improve the lives of marginalized communities, and her tireless dedication to empowering women and children have earned her widespread admiration and respect.
A Life of Service and Compassion
Like the legendary Mother Teresa, Mrs. Oborevwori’s passion for service transcends the ordinary expectations of a political spouse. She has gone above and beyond in her role, leveraging her position to foster transformative change across Delta State. Through her various philanthropic initiatives, she has built a reputation not just as the wife of the governor but as a woman of action, driven by a genuine desire to uplift society.

Born and raised in Delta State, Mrs. Oborevwori has a deep connection to the people and the challenges they face. From an early age, she showed an innate understanding of the value of giving back to the community. Her journey into philanthropy began long before her husband, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, assumed office as the Governor of Delta State. As a mother, educator, and community leader, she has always been motivated by a simple yet powerful belief: that the most fulfilling life is one devoted to others.
Championing the Rights of Women and Children
One of Mrs. Oborevwori’s most significant contributions has been her focus on women and children’s welfare. As a mother herself, she understands the vital role that women play in shaping communities, and she has made it her mission to empower them.
Her initiatives focus on creating opportunities for women to thrive economically, socially, and politically. Through training programs, scholarships, and empowerment workshops, Mrs. Oborevwori has provided women with the tools they need to achieve financial independence, access education, and become leaders in their communities. She believes that empowering women is one of the most effective ways to drive lasting change in society.
For children, she has spearheaded numerous projects to provide educational resources, improve healthcare, and ensure that vulnerable children receive the support they need to succeed. Her initiatives range from sponsoring education for orphans to organizing health outreach programs in rural areas. Her compassion for the well-being of children reflects her understanding of their central role in building a better future.
A Philanthropist at Heart
Through the “You Matter Charity Foundation”, Mrs. Oborevwori has created a platform to channel her philanthropic efforts. The foundation supports various causes, including healthcare, education, and poverty alleviation. Its programs are aimed at tackling some of the most pressing issues facing Delta State, such as malnutrition, lack of access to quality education, and inadequate healthcare services.
Under her leadership, the foundation has been instrumental in bringing attention to the challenges faced by marginalized communities, especially in rural areas, and in providing concrete solutions. From offering scholarships to disadvantaged students to organizing free medical outreach programs for underserved populations, Mrs. Oborevwori’s commitment to social justice is evident in every project she undertakes.
She also places a strong emphasis on humanitarian relief efforts, providing food, clothing, and medical supplies to communities affected by natural disasters or other crises. Her ability to mobilize resources quickly and effectively is a testament to her dedication and organizational skills.
A Vision for a Better Delta State
What sets Mrs. Oborevwori apart as a leader and a philanthropist is her vision for a sustainable future. Her work is not just about short-term relief; it is about creating long-term solutions that can empower individuals and communities for generations to come. Through partnerships with local and international organizations, as well as with government agencies, Mrs. Oborevwori is working to bring about systemic change in Delta State.
Her advocacy for the rights of women and children, particularly in rural areas, has sparked important conversations about social equality and the need for inclusive policies that can ensure everyone has access to opportunities and resources. She is a vocal proponent of policies that tackle poverty, promote education, and ensure the health and well-being of the most vulnerable members of society.
The “Mother Teresa” Spirit: A Legacy of Love and Dedication
Much like Mother Teresa, who dedicated her life to caring for the poor and sick, Mrs. Oborevwori’s philosophy is rooted in the idea that true leadership is measured not by titles or power, but by the positive impact one has on others. She is not a leader who seeks the spotlight; instead, she quietly works behind the scenes, making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
In every aspect of her work, Mrs. Oborevwori exemplifies humility, compassion, and love for her people. Whether it is through her outreach programs, her advocacy for women’s rights, or her commitment to improving the lives of children, she embodies the spirit of selflessness that is often associated with Mother Teresa.
Conclusion: A Legacy in the Making
As the First Lady of Delta State, Mrs. Tobore Oborevwori has shown that leadership is about more than titles—it’s about impact. Through her tireless work, her foundation, and her devotion to the people of Delta, she has carved out a legacy of kindness and service that will endure long after her tenure.
In a time when the world needs more compassionate leaders, Mrs. Oborevwori’s example is a reminder that love, care, and dedication to others can create profound change. She continues to serve as an inspiration to many, not only in Delta State but across Nigeria and beyond, and will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most selfless figures of her generation—the “Mother Teresa of our time.”
