It Would Be Evil For Deltans To Vote Against Tinubu In 2027 Because He’s Our In-Law” — Gov. Oborevwori
Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has urged residents of the state to support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, citing the president’s family ties to Delta State through First Lady Oluremi Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television, the governor said Tinubu is the only likely presidential candidate with a direct connection to the state.
“Among the candidates that emerged, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the only one that has an affiliation to Delta State,” Oborevwori said.
He further described Tinubu as an in-law to the state and argued that it would be wrong for Deltans to vote against him.
“The man is an in-law here, and it would be evil to vote against your in-law. It’s a family affair. In the South-South, the people in Delta are saying this is their own. They were deceived before; now they can’t,” he stated.
The governor also praised First Lady Oluremi Tinubu for strengthening support for the president across the state, particularly among the Itsekiri people.
“The First Lady is holding the state strong, and no Itsekiri person will vote against Tinubu. No Urhobo man will because their son is the governor,” he added.
Oborevwori also defended the Tinubu administration’s economic policies, saying the federal government’s reforms have improved revenue available to states and enabled them to execute more projects.
“The confidence we have is in the people. His reforms and programmes are working very well. Sometimes when I commission projects and tell people we have money, it’s because of the reforms. If they are not working, we won’t get money,” the governor said.
His comments come months after First Lady Oluremi Tinubu received the traditional title of Utukpa-Oritse of the Warri Kingdom from the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, during a ceremony held in Warri.
