Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, and the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr Dennis Otuaro, have declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), will have a straight win in the South South in the next election.
Otuaro promised to win the South-south geopolitical zone for President Tinubu in 2027.
Oborevwori, yesterday, boasted that Delta had effectively become a no-go area for opposition political parties due to the visible achievements of his administration across the state.
The governor made the assertion during the inauguration of the 4.8-kilometre Oko–Amakom/Oko-Obiokpu/Oko-Anala Road in Oko Kingdom and other network of roads in Asaba, both in Oshimili South Local Government Area.
Speaking at the ceremony, Oborevwori said the extensive infrastructure development under his administration had strengthened public confidence in government and positioned the state for continued political dominance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said: “When I contested the 2023 election, I won in 21 out of the 25 local government areas even when I was not yet a governor. With the level of development and projects we have delivered in almost three years, Delta State has become a no-go area for other political parties.”
The governor said his APC-led administration remained committed to delivering impactful projects that directly improve the lives of the people, adding that the road projects commissioned were strategic in boosting economic activities and improving connectivity between communities.
Oborevwori explained that the Oko–Amakom/Oko-Obiokpu/Oko-Anala Road would significantly improve transportation for farmers in the area, enabling them to move their produce to markets more efficiently while reducing poverty and enhancing rural livelihoods.

He recalled that in the past, the terrain around Oko was extremely difficult, especially during the rainy season, making it almost impossible for farmers to transport their produce to markets.
“Today, I am happy that we have completed this road. Farmers can now transport their fresh produce easily to markets, increasing their income and improving their standard of living,” the governor said.
Oborevwori, however, expressed optimism that the contractor would complete the project earlier than scheduled.
South-South will deliver total victory for Tinubu
In the same vein, Otuaro declared that the South-south geopolitical zone would deliver total victory to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
Otuaro said the foundation of such victory had been laid by the peaceful manner in which the South-south governors conducted the just-concluded congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in their states.
Otuaro observed that the pragmatic efforts of governors Sheriff Oborevwori, Delta; Douye Diri, Bayelsa; Siminalayi Fubara, Rivers; Umo Eno, Akwa Ibom; Bassey Otu, Cross River and Monday Okpebholo, Edo resulted in the successful election of new ward executives and State Working Committees (SWCs) in their states.
Otuaro also congratulated Solomon Arenyeka, Warman Ogoriba, Tony Okocha, Stephen Ntukekpo, Chris Etta, and Jarret Tenebe on their emergence as chairmen of the APC in Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Edo, as well as other members of the newly constituted SWCs in the zone.
He said that the governors demonstrated astute leadership, while delegates showed discipline and resilience in ensuring a transparent transition process that resulted in acceptable outcomes to all APC stakeholders.
Otuaro, in a statement signed by his Special Assistant, Media, Igoniko Oduma, also applauded the affirmation process adopted by the APC, noting that the entire exercise was consensus-driven in line with the party's constitution and guidelines.
He attributed the successful conclusion of the APC congresses to the democratic leadership and vision of President Bola Tinubu, and the unwavering commitment of the party's national secretariat to internal party democracy, inclusion, and unity of purpose.
The PAP Administrator insisted that the newly inaugurated ward and state working committees, the Southsouth zone, had solid structures to secure total victory for President Tinubu and the APC in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
He expressed strong optimism that President Tinubu would deliver more dividends of democracy in all parts of the country through his Renewed Hope Agenda.
Otuaro said the bold reforms of President Tinubu's administration would be consolidated for more national impact and shared prosperity of citizens with his re-election next year.
