Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State has said it would be “evil” for Deltans to vote against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, citing the president’s personal and family ties to the state.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, Oborevwori argued that President Bola Tinubu remains the only leading presidential contender with a direct affiliation to Delta State through the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, who has ancestral ties to the state.
Among candidates expected in the 2027 race, the governor said Tinubu stands out because of that connection, insisting Deltans should view his candidacy as a “family affair.”
“The man is an in-law here, and it would be evil to vote against your in-law. It’s a family affair. In the South-South, the people in Delta are saying this is their own,” Oborevwori said.
