LEADERS of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State have declared that President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori are the two unopposed candidates of the party in the 2027 general elections.
The leaders also confirmed Chief Bernard Edewor as the leader of the APC in Ethiope East Local Government Area, a development that received the full support of leaders and stakeholders of the party.
The Local Government Party Chairman, Chief Julius Ogboru; the State Director of Protocol, Chief Sunday Onoriode; Rt Hon Sunny Emeyese and other prominent leaders said the decision to endorse and adopt President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori was because of their visionary leadership and good governance strides.
They noted that President Tinubu has exhibited strong political willpower, competence and unwavering commitment to actualising the Renewal Hope Agenda through remodelled policies and programmes that laid a strong foundation for economic recovery.
The leaders assured that President Tinubu’s economic policies, actions and inactions would continue to impact positively on the well-being and prosperity of all Nigerians, as can be seen from the downward inflation and positive signs of a stronger economy.
The meeting commended President Bola Tinubu for the removal of fuel subsidy, which has scaled up the monthly allocation to states, and for embarking on mega road infrastructure development connecting cities and communities across Nigeria.
Reflecting on the landmark achievements of Governor Oborevwori, they commended his giant strides in infrastructure development across the three senatorial districts.
They noted that in two years, the governor received three major national awards, namely: Best Governor of the Year, Best Governor in Infrastructure, and Best Governor in Good Governance; a development that placed Delta in the front row of economically buoyant states, and rated as the fourth largest economy in Nigeria.
The leaders urged both President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori to remain focused and be pragmatic in the ongoing implementation of the Renewed Hope for MORE Agenda, assuring that the 2027 Presidential and governorship elections would be a walkover victory in Ethiope East and across Nigeria.
Earlier in his opening remark, the Chairman of APC in Ethiope East, Chief Julius Ogboru, expressed satisfaction over the turnout of leaders and stakeholders at the meeting, and emphasised the importance of unity in securing electoral victory.
A former National Assembly member who represented the people of Ethiope Federal Constituency, Hon LovetteIdisi, moved the motion for the endorsements of both President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori.
The motion was seconded by Hon. Emeyese, also a former member of the House of Representatives. The entire LGA leadership supported the motion, indicating overwhelming party consensus.
In his goodwill message, Onoriode urged leaders and stakeholders to prioritise party loyalty and strategic planning ahead of the 2027 general elections. “We are one LGA, one party, and we must work as one united front. The success of our great party begins with moments like this,” he emphasised.
