Governor Sheriff Oborevwori says Delta State voters would be committing an “evil” act if they oppose President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
Appearing on Arise Television, the governor described the upcoming election as a “family affair”. He explained that because First Lady Oluremi Tinubu is an Itsekiri woman, the president is an in-law to the state and remains the only likely candidate with direct regional roots.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television, the governor said Tinubu is the only likely presidential candidate with a direct connection to the statebecause his wife Oluremi, is an Itsekiri woman.
“Among the candidates that emerged, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the only one that has an affiliation to Delta State. 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.
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 said.
