Delta APC Rejects Governor Oborevwori As 2027 Gubernatorial Candidate

Delta APC Declines to Back Governor Oborevwori for 2027 Election

Listen up, folks. The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has made it crystal clear that they’re not on board with adopting Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as their candidate for the 2027 gubernatorial election. Let me break it down for you. This decision comes after a member of the House of Representatives, Francis Waive, made a public plea for the party to consider Oborevwori as their sole candidate for the upcoming election. But the APC isn’t biting.

Now, here’s the kicker. Despite Waive’s suggestion, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains in Delta have accused Governor Oborevwori of secretly plotting to switch teams and join the APC ahead of the 2027 elections. But hold on—Oborevwori denies any such move. And the APC? They’re not letting him in, either. In a statement issued by their publicity secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, the APC distanced itself from Waive’s comments, making it clear that his opinion was strictly personal and didn’t represent the views of the Delta APC leadership or its members.

APC Stands Firm on Transparent Candidate Selection

The APC is doubling down on its commitment to transparency and fairness. In their statement, they assured both members and the public that the party’s candidate for the next election will be chosen through a competitive and transparent process. This process, they say, will reflect the genuine aspirations of the people of Delta State for real, meaningful change.

Let me quote the statement directly: “We wish to state unequivocally that Hon. Waive’s position is purely his personal opinion and does not reflect the stance of Delta APC, its leadership, or the generality of its members.” That’s pretty clear, isn’t it? The APC isn’t just brushing Waive’s suggestion aside—they’re making sure everyone knows where they stand.

APC Slams Oborevwori’s Administration

But wait, there’s more. The APC didn’t stop at rejecting Oborevwori as a potential candidate. They went a step further, firing some heavy criticism at his administration. They described his leadership as a “monumental disappointment,” accusing it of financial recklessness and a lack of developmental progress. Valentine Onojeghuo didn’t mince words, saying, “Despite receiving over ₦2 trillion in federal allocations, the Oborevwori administration has failed to deliver any meaningful infrastructural, economic, or social advancements for the people of Delta State.”

And if you think that’s all, you’re wrong. The APC is determined to unseat the ruling PDP in 2027. They’re confident they have a roster of qualified and capable individuals ready to offer Delta State a credible alternative. In fact, they’re positioning themselves as the party that can rescue Delta State from what they call “the shackles of misrule and the failures of the PDP-led administration.”

APC Urges Public to Disregard Waive’s Statement

To wrap things up, the Delta APC is urging its members and the general public to completely ignore Francis Waive’s statement. They’re sticking to their guns, maintaining their determination to bring real change to Delta State. As they see it, the future belongs to those who are willing to fight for it, and they’re ready to do just that.

So, there you have it. The APC isn’t backing down, and they’re not backing Oborevwori, either. This political drama in Delta State is just getting started, and we’ll be watching closely to see how it unfolds.
