Tinubu's Re-election Is My Priority Project

Delta State governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has declared that the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 would bring greater benefits to his state and the nation at large.

In an interview on ARISE News monitored in Asaba yesterday, Oborevwori said he was fully committed to mobilising support for Tinubu’s second-term bid, stressing that the President’s 2027 reelection success would further ease the burden of governance on state governments.

“I’m begging people to vote for President Bola Tinubu again. It’s my number one project. That project is bigger than any other project because it will help us achieve more for our people,” the governor said.

According to him, the federal government’s economic reforms have increased revenues accruing to states, enabling his administration to embark on and complete numerous development projects across Delta.

Oborevwori noted that the state was currently experiencing unprecedented financial stability, revealing that contractors handling state projects were being paid promptly without waiting for federal allocations.

The governor said: “For the first time in the history of this state, we are not owing contractors. We don’t wait for allocation before paying contractors. Once jobs are certified, we pay. We mobilise contractors with 40 per cent and continue to fund projects as work progresses.”

He maintained that the improved revenue profile of the state was a direct result of the economic reforms introduced by President Tinubu’s administration, stressing that it is his personal political project for the President’s return to office

“If the reforms are not working, we will not get this money? More money is coming to the states. The reforms are working very well in Delta State and that is why we are able to execute projects and meet our obligations,” he added.
