Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori says it would be wrong for Delta residents to vote against President Bola Tinubu in 2027, citing the President’s family ties to the state.
Speaking Tuesday on Arise Television, Oborevwori said Tinubu is the only likely presidential candidate with a direct affiliation to Delta through his wife, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu.
“Bola Ahmed Tinubu, among the candidates that will emerge, is the only one that has affiliation to Delta State. People don’t even know that. Delta people are wise now,” he said.
Oborevwori described Tinubu as an in-law to the state and argued that voting against him would amount to voting against family interests.
“The man is an in-law here. So, it will be evil to vote against your in-law. It’s a family affair,” he said.
The governor also referenced Oluremi Tinubu’s reported ties to the Itsekiri ethnic group, expressing confidence that members of the group would back the President.
“The people in Delta, they are saying that this is their own. So it’s not before they deceived them. Now they can’t deceive them again,” he added.
Oborevwori also ruled out a repeat of Peter Obi’s 2023 win in Delta, saying “it won’t happen again in 2027.”
