2027: No Known Credible Challenger for Oborevwori, Says Delta APC Chairman

Ahead of the 2027 general election, the Delta State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Engr. Omeni Sobotie, has declared that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori remains a man to beat, insisting that there is no credible challenger in sight.

Chief Sobotie made the assertion on Tuesday while receiving the Executive Committee of the College of Executive Assistants (EAs) to the Governor during a courtesy visit at the party secretariat in Asaba.

According to him, Governor Oborevwori was invincible, having garnered “widespread support from all quarters of Delta State, as well as divine favour”, which he said positioned him strongly for the consolidation of a second term.

The APC Chairman, who was joined by the State Director of Protocol, Olorogun Sunday Onoriode, noted that the Governor’s re-election bid was “unstoppable by merit,” citing what he described as his outstanding performance over the past two and a half years in office.

He listed the Governor’s key accomplishments to include the construction of mega bridges, roads, schools, and other critical social infrastructure across the state, adding that the administration had also excelled in human capital development, peace-building, and the promotion of security.

Chief Sobotie commended the College of Executive Assistants for their loyalty and unwavering support, describing the group as a vital pillar of the current administration and an important asset to the ruling party in Delta State.

Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of the College of Executive Assistants, Ogbueshi Hon. Taju  Isichei, popularly called IKUKU,  said the Forum was established to support the effective execution of government policies and programmes in line with the Renewed Hope for M.O.R.E Agenda of Governor Oborevwori and President Bola Tinubu.

Hon. Isichei disclosed that the body would soon embark on a statewide tour of the 25 Local Government Areas to showcase the development milestones of the Oborevwori administration, raise awareness on APC online registration and promote voter education.

He thanked the APC Chairman for sustaining party cohesion and expressed optimism that Delta State would continue to rank among the best in the country in terms of good governance under the leadership of Governor Oborevwori.

The Chairman of the College of Executive Assistants was accompanied by other executive members, including Chief Duncan Ewhere, Secretary; Pastor Tos Powell, Public Relations Officer; Comrade Norbert Chiazor, Publicity Secretary; Hon. Mrs. Nkechi Chukwura, Welfare Officer; Hon. Juanty Okwudi, Dr.Clement Siakpere, Chief Paul Osemene,  Chief Mrs Odet Majemite and  Hon.Christian Itire, among others.
