Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has formally endorsed Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027, citing both family ties and confidence in the administration’s economic reforms. The governor said his support reflects a belief in continuity and the need to sustain policies that have already begun reshaping Nigeria’s fiscal outlook.
Oborevwori pointed to Tinubu’s economic agenda, including subsidy removal and revenue reforms, as measures that have increased federal allocations to states. He argued that these policies have strengthened local governance and enabled development projects across the country, making continuity vital for long-term stability.
The governor stressed that his endorsement is not only political but also personal, noting family ties with the president as part of his motivation. He said his backing underscores trust in Tinubu’s leadership and his ability to steer Nigeria through economic challenges.
Oborevwori also emphasized the importance of unity within the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections. He urged stakeholders to rally behind Tinubu to consolidate gains and prevent disruption of reforms that he believes are beginning to deliver results.
His remarks come as political alignments begin to take shape ahead of the next election cycle. Tinubu, who assumed office in 2023, has faced both praise and criticism for his economic policies, which have sparked debate nationwide.
By endorsing Tinubu early, Oborevwori positioned himself as a key ally within the party, signaling growing support for the president’s re-election bid. He said his stance reflects confidence that Tinubu’s administration can deliver sustainable growth and stability if given another term.
