The governor also highlighted the role of religious leaders in shaping the political landscape. He mentioned that before switching to the APC, he consulted with faith leaders, who prayed for his decision and continue to support the party. “You cannot pray and curse,” he remarked, underscoring the spiritual backing he expects during the next election cycle. He plans to re-engage these religious leaders, reminding them of their earlier prayers and asking for continued support.
Oborevwori believes the key factors that contributed to Obi’s win in 2023 have been effectively addressed. He pointed out that the coalition of Christian voters and non-indigenous support that boosted Obi’s performance has been managed through inclusive governance and community engagement. He is convinced that the APC will now enjoy widespread support across Delta State in the 2027 elections.
He urged the Igbo community to vote for the party rather than individual candidates, citing the personal trust and affection they have for him. “I’ve told them vote party this time. They will not vote candidates, they will vote party because of the love they have for me,” he stated. This strategic appeal to loyalty and unity underscores his campaign for sustained APC dominance in the state.
As the 2027 elections approach, Oborevwori’s efforts to consolidate support across ethnic and religious lines may shape the political dynamics in Delta State. His confidence in the APC’s electoral prospects reflects a broader strategy to maintain party strength through inclusive governance and faith-based alliances.
