The second-term bid of President Bola Tinubu has received a massive boost ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
This follows a promise by the newly declared Delta State governor, Sheriff Obovrewori, to deliver 1.4 million votes for Tinubu in the election.
Oborevwori who recently decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressive Party (APC) made the promise on Wednesday when he announced his defection.
Oborevwori joined the APC along with his deputy, Monday Onyeme, his immediate predecessor the PDP 2023 vice presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, and the entire PDP structures in the state.
A press statement from the press unit of the governor’s office said that the move will change the fortune of the APC in the South-south region.
“With Oborevwori now in APC colours, the South‑South’s political map tightens as the new alignment enhances President Bola Tinubu’s re‑election calculus by adding roughly 1.4 million Delta votes to the ruling party,” the statement read.
