It’s evil for Deltans to vote against Tinubu our in-law in 2027: Gov Oborevwori
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori says it will be “evil” for Deltans to vote against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Mr Oborevwori, in an interview on ARISE TV on Tuesday, said Deltans would support Mr Tinubu because he is married to an indigene.
“Among the candidates that emerged, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the only one who 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,” Mr Oborevwori said. “In the South-South, the people in Delta are saying this is their own. They were deceived before; now they can’t.”
The Delta governor added, “The first lady (Remi Tinubu) is holding the state strong, and no Itsekiri person will vote against Tinubu. No Urhobo man will because their son is the governor.”
When reminded that the Labour Party won the presidential race in Delta in 2023, Mr Oborevwori said, “This time I have told them not to vote on an individual basis but to vote for the party. I am confident they will vote for the APC.”
