Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has urged residents to vote for him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, describing himself as a street-smart and credible leader capable of driving further development in the state.
Oborevwori made the appeal on Tuesday during a reception organized in his honour in Isoko, where he emphasized his longstanding connection with Delta State and commitment to its development.
The governor argued that his familiarity with the people and his decision to make Delta his permanent home placed him in a position to understand their needs and deliver more development.
“If you talk about street credibility, street wisdom, street smart, it’s only somebody that is street smart that can do this for you because I live with you here. I don’t have a second home; the only home that I have is Delta State. I stay here more,” he said.
He questioned why he would not prioritize the development of a state where he lives and conducts his affairs, assuring residents that his administration remained committed to delivering more dividends of democracy.
Oborevwori also urged the people to maintain their expectations, insisting that his MORE agenda was designed to consolidate the achievements recorded by his administration over the last three years.
According to him, there was still considerable room for improvement, adding that continued support and encouragement from residents would enable his government to achieve more.
“The largest room in the world is the room for improvement, and with your continuous support and encouragement, we shall continue to do more while consolidating the achievements of the last three years of our administration,” the governor stated.
He further called on Deltans to translate their support for his administration into votes for Tinubu, himself and other APC candidates in the state during the 2027 elections.
“Turn this adjustment into a massive vote for President Tinubu, myself, and all APC candidates in Delta State. Continue to trust us and pray for us,” he urged.
The governor’s appeal comes as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the APC seeking to consolidate its political structures and mobilize support across Delta State.
