Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has declared that the All Progressives Congress has the political strength and grassroots support to deliver President Bola Tinubu and other party candidates in the 2027 general elections, urging supporters to convert their growing unity into votes.

Oborevwori spoke on Tuesday during the APC campaign tour of Ogbe-Ijoh in Warri South-West and Otor-Udu in Udu Local Government Area, where he called for coordinated mobilisation across communities ahead of the elections.

The governor said the cooperation among political leaders, youths and other stakeholders in the state had strengthened the party’s prospects, expressing confidence that the APC could win all elective positions in Delta.

At Ogbe-Ijoh, he particularly pointed to the cooperation between the Ijaw and Itsekiri ethnic nationalities, saying their political solidarity could translate into substantial support for Tinubu and other APC candidates.

He also cited completed and ongoing infrastructure projects in the area, despite its difficult terrain, as evidence of his administration’s work, urging residents to reciprocate by voting for the party.

At Otor-Udu, Oborevwori said the coming together of political leaders in the local government was an indication that previous differences were giving way to a common political interest.

“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 sustain the cooperation and extend the party’s mobilisation to every ward and community.

“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,” the governor said.

Oborevwori also defended his administration’s performance in Udu, citing road construction and other infrastructure projects, some of which he said had been completed while others remained ongoing.

“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,” he said.

He commended Joel-Onowakpo Thomas and other elected representatives from the area, urging residents to support their representatives to attract more development.

The campaign also witnessed the return of a former member of the Delta State House of Assembly representing Udu Constituency, Collins Egbetamah, to the APC, alongside Frank Muwhen Magamu.

Egbetamah described his return as a personal decision, insisting that it was neither induced nor forced. He pledged to work with party leaders to secure victory in the local government.

Earlier, the Director-General of the Delta APC Campaign Council, Senator James Manager, urged residents of Warri South-West to lead the party’s mobilisation efforts across the state.

Manager said Tinubu and Oborevwori deserved another four-year term to consolidate their achievements, while the Delta South and Delta Central APC chairmen, Emmanuel Amgbaduba and Paulinus Akpeki, respectively, expressed confidence in the party’s electoral prospects.

At Otor-Udu, the Deputy Director-General of the State Campaign Council, Chiedu Ebie, also urged residents to sustain their support for the APC.

The state APC chairman, Solomon Arenyeka, presented party flags to the party’s candidates in the two local government areas.
