The Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori said it would be wrong for Delta residents to vote against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, citing his family ties to the state.
Speaking on Arise Television on Tuesday, Oborevwori said Tinubu is the only potential presidential candidate with a direct affiliation to Delta State.
According to the governor, Tinubu’s relationship with the state through his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, makes him a natural choice for Delta voters.
“Bola Ahmed Tinubu, among the candidates that will emerge, is the only one that has affiliation to Delta State. People don’t even know that. Delta people are wise now,” he said.
Oborevwori described the President as an in-law to the state and argued that voting against him would amount to going against family interests.
Oborevwori also pointed to the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu’s reported ties to the Itsekiri ethnic group, expressing confidence that members of the group would support the President.
“The man is an in-law here. So, it will be evil to vote against your in-law. It’s a family affair.
“The people in Delta, they are saying that this is their own. So it’s not before they deceived them. Now they can’t deceive them again,” he said.
