Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has the political strength and grassroots support to deliver President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all candidates of the party in the 2027 general elections.
Oborevwori spoke on Tuesday during the state APC campaign train’s visits to Ogbe-Ijoh in Warri South-West and Otor-Udu in Udu Local Government Area, where he commended party leaders, traditional rulers, women and youths for demonstrating unity and commitment to the party.
The governor, who was accompanied by his wife, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, the Deputy Governor, Sir Monday Onyeme, his wife, Lady Catherine, other party leaders and stakeholders, said the growing cooperation among political leaders and grassroots supporters across the state was a strong indication that the APC was well-positioned for electoral victory.
At Ogbe-Ijoh, Governor Oborevwori applauded the unity between the Ijaw and Itsekiri ethnic nationalities, expressing confidence that their solidarity would translate into massive votes for President Tinubu and APC candidates in 2027.
While highlighting his administration’s completed and ongoing projects despite the area’s difficult terrain, he commended the people for their endorsement and urged them to deliver overwhelming victories for President Tinubu, and all APC candidates.
Addressing the gathering in Udu, Oborevwori said he was encouraged by the unity among the political leaders in the local government, noting that political differences were giving way to a common determination to advance the interests of the area.
“Today, I am not surprised by what I am seeing because I know the people of Udu. We are witnessing an unprecedented level of unity among our people. The leaders, youths and stakeholders have come together,” he said.
He urged the people to translate the growing political unity into votes for President Tinubu and all APC candidates, saying; “we are working towards an APC 5/5 victory, and that can only happen when we remain united, mobilise effectively and take our message to every ward, community and household”.
Oborevwori appealed to the people of Udu to give the party massive votes, declaring that his administration would not abandon communities that had entrusted it with their mandate.
He said; “We have worked in Udu. We have constructed roads and embarked on several infrastructure projects across the local government. Some have been completed, while others are still ongoing. A lot has been done, and we are not going to abandon Udu”.
The governor commended Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas and other elected representatives from the area for working with their constituents, urging the people to support their own representatives to attract more development.
Earlier, Director-General of the Delta APC Campaign Council, Senator James Manager, challenged the people of Warri South-West to set the pace for other local government areas in delivering votes for the party.
He thanked the people for their support for the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Door-to-Door Movement, saying the President and Governor Oborevwori deserved another four-year term to consolidate their achievements.
The chairmen of the Delta South and Delta Central APC, Prince Emmanuel Amgbaduba and Chief Paulinus Akpeki, respectively, expressed confidence that the party would secure victory across the two senatorial districts, citing the development projects executed by the Oborevwori administration as evidence of its commitment to the welfare of the people.
At Otor-Udu, Deputy Director-General of the State Campaign Council, Mr Chiedu Ebie, urged the people to sustain their support for the APC and work collectively towards the party’s success.
A major highlight of the Udu rally was the return of former member representing Udu Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Collins Egbetamah, to the APC, alongside Frank Muwhen Magamu.
Egbetamah, who described his return as a personal and genuine decision, said he was delighted to be back in the party, insisting that his decision was neither induced nor forced.
He assured Oborevwori of his commitment to the progress of Udu and pledged to work with other party leaders to secure victory for the APC.
State Chairman of the APC, Chief Solomon Arenyeka, presented party flags to the APC candidates in the two local governments.
