2027 election will be a walkover for me as sitting governor – Oborevwori boasts
**Delta State 2027: Oborevwori Boasts of Easy Win as Incumbent Governor** Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has expressed confidence in his chances of winning the 2027 governorship election, saying his position as sitting governor and the achievements of his administration will make it a walkover. The Governor made this statement during the inauguration of a 4.8-kilometre road network in Oko Kingdom, Asaba, Delta State. Oborevwori recalled that in the 2023 election, he won in 21 out of 25 local government areas even before becoming governor. He believes that with the extensive infrastructure development under his leadership, Delta State has become a difficult terrain for opposition parties. The Governor mentioned that the visible projects carried out by his administration have strengthened public confidence in government and positioned the state for continued dominance ahead of the 2027 election. The newly commissioned road projects, Oborevwori said, are strategic in boosting economic activities and improving connectivity among communities. He added that his administration remains committed to executing impactful projects that directly improve the lives of residents. Before the construction of the new road, the terrain around Oko was a major challenge, making it difficult for farmers to transport their produce to markets. Many farmers had to travel to neighboring Anambra State to sell their produce, often disposing of them at low prices due to the challenges involved. Oborevwori's boast may not be unfounded, as his administration has carried out several developmental projects across the state. However, it remains to be seen whether his confidence will translate to a landslide victory in the 2027 election.
