Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori says the All Progressives Congress (APC) has the political strength to deliver Bola Tinubu in 2027. During a campaign tour of Ogbe-Ijoh and Otor-Udu on Tuesday, he praised the understanding between the Ijaw and Itsekiri and called for it to be turned into votes, according to Punch.
Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori says the All Progressives Congress (APC, Nigeria’s ruling party) has the political strength and grassroots support to deliver President Bola Tinubu and the party’s other candidates in the 2027 general elections. He was speaking on Tuesday during an APC campaign tour of Ogbe-Ijoh, in Warri South-West, and Otor-Udu, in Udu Local Government Area.
In Ogbe-Ijoh, he cited cooperation between the Ijaw and Itsekiri communities, which he said could translate into votes for Tinubu. He also highlighted infrastructure projects completed or under way despite difficult terrain, and urged residents to vote for the party in return.
In Otor-Udu, he saw the coming together of local leaders as a sign that past disputes are fading. "We are working towards a 5/5 victory for the APC," he said, calling for mobilisation of every ward and every household. He defended his record in Udu, citing roads and other works, some completed and others in progress.
The tour is part of the campaign of a party that is stepping up its visits. Vice-President Kashim Shettima called on 9 November for Ebonyi State to re-elect Tinubu in 2027.
