2027: Delta APC Passes Confidence Vote, Endorse Tinubu, Oborevwori As Sole
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, on Sunday, passed explicit vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and endorsed both leaders as the party’s sole candidates for the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement came during a well-attended APC Stakeholders Meeting held at the State Banquet Hall, Government House, Asaba, which drew together top leaders of the party, serving and former National and State lawmakers, Commissioners, Local Government Council chairmen, Local Government party chairmen, and political heavyweights across Delta’s three senatorial districts.
The motion of confidence was moved by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, and seconded by Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei, former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly.
In moving the motion, Keyamo praised President Tinubu’s “bold reforms and transformative leadership,” citing the removal of fuel subsidy as a responsible policy decision that redirected billions into critical national infrastructure.
“Just two days ago, Mr. President approved $1 billion for resuscitation of the Warri port, and others. He also mentioned other key national projects, including the Lagos/Calabar coastal road and the rebuilding of Lagos Airport. These are direct results of subsidy removal savings. The President has proven to be a prudent manager and visionary leader,” Keyamo said.
He also commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his visionary leadership and for the massive infrastructural development across Delta State.
He therefore moved that “the Delta APC passes a vote of confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and adopts them as the party’s sole candidate for the 2027 general election.
Seconding the motion, which was unanimously adopted, Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei hailed Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori’s inclusive governance and developmental impact across Nigeria and Delta State, respectively, adding that “the people of Delta State and the South-South stand firmly behind the President and and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for their vision for a renewed Nigeria and Delta State.
In his remarks, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori expressed deep gratitude to the APC stakeholders for the confidence reposed in him and President Bola Tinubu, pledging to continue delivering on his development agenda for Delta State.
“I want to thank you for the confidence
