2027: Development projects have secured Delta for APC, says Oborevwori
The governor of Delta State, Rt (Hon) Sheriff Oborevwori, has boasted that the state has effectively become a no-go area for opposition political parties due to the visible achievements of his administration.
Oborevwori made the remark at the inauguration of the 4.8-kilometre Oko–Amakom/Oko-Obiokpu/Oko-Anala Road in Oko Kingdom and other road networks in Asaba, both in the Oshimili South Local Government Area of the state.
He said the extensive infrastructure development under his administration had strengthened public confidence in government and positioned the state for continued political dominance ahead of the 2027 general election.
He said: “When I contested the 2023 election, I won in 21 out of the 25 local government areas even when I was not yet a governor. With the level of development and projects we have delivered in almost three years, Delta State has become a no-go area for other political parties.”
The governor said his APC-led administration remained committed to delivering impactful projects that would directly improve the lives of the people, adding that the road projects commissioned were strategic in boosting economic activities and improving connectivity between communities.
Oborevwori explained that the Oko–Amakom/Oko-Obiokpu/Oko-Anala Road would significantly improve transportation for farmers in the area, enabling them to move their produce to markets more efficiently while reducing poverty and enhancing rural livelihoods.
He recalled that in the past, the terrain around Oko was extremely difficult, especially during the rainy season, making it almost impossible for farmers to transport their produce to markets.
Oborevwori, however, expressed optimism that the contractor would complete the project ahead of schedule.
Meanwhile, the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr. Dennis Otuaro, has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will have a straight win in the South-south in the next election, saying the foundation of such victory had been laid by the peaceful manner in which the South-south governors conducted the just-concluded congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in their states.
