Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will secure victory in the 2027 general elections, saying growing political cooperation among Urhobo, Ijaw, Itsekiri and other ethnic groups in the state would strengthen the party’s chances.
Oborevwori made the remarks on Tuesday, November 10, during the APC campaign train’s visits to Ogbe-Ijoh in Warri South-West Local Government Area and Otor-Udu in Udu Local Government Area.
The governor, who was accompanied by his wife, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme and other party leaders, commended traditional rulers, political stakeholders, women and youths for what he described as growing unity and commitment to the APC.
At Ogbe-Ijoh, Oborevwori praised the cooperation between the Ijaw and Itsekiri communities, expressing confidence that their solidarity would translate into votes for President Bola Tinubu and other APC candidates in 2027.
He also highlighted completed and ongoing projects undertaken by his administration in the area, saying the government remained committed to infrastructure development despite the difficult terrain.
At Otor-Udu, the governor said political leaders, youths and stakeholders in the local government had demonstrated an unprecedented level of unity, adding that the cooperation should be sustained and translated into electoral support for the party.
“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.
Oborevwori urged residents to support the APC across all elective positions, declaring that the party was working towards a 5-5 victory in the local government.
“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,” he said.
He also assured the people that his administration would not abandon Udu, citing road construction and other infrastructure projects undertaken in the area.
The governor commended Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas and other elected representatives from the area, urging residents to support their representatives to attract further development.
Earlier, Director-General of the Delta APC Campaign Council, Senator James Manager, challenged residents of Warri South-West to lead the party’s mobilisation efforts across the state.
Manager said President Tinubu 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, also expressed confidence in the party’s prospects, citing projects executed by the Oborevwori administration.
At Otor-Udu, Deputy Director-General of the State Campaign Council, Chiedu Ebie, urged residents to sustain their support for the APC and work collectively towards its electoral success.
A major highlight of the rally was the return of former member representing Udu Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, Collins Egbetamah, to the APC, alongside Frank Muwhen Magamu.
Egbetamah described his return as a personal decision, insisting that he was neither induced nor forced to rejoin the party. He pledged to work with other APC leaders to secure victory in Udu.
The state APC chairman, Chief Solomon Arenyeka, presented party flags to the party’s candidates in the two local government areas.
