ASABA, DELTA STATE — Delta State Governor, , has expressed support for the re-election bid of President ahead of the 2027 general elections, citing longstanding family ties and ongoing economic reforms being implemented by the Federal Government.
The governor made the remarks during a political gathering in Delta State, where he highlighted what he described as the cordial relationship between his family and that of the President, while also commending recent policy measures aimed at stabilising the nation’s economy.
Oborevwori said his support for Tinubu’s second-term ambition was based not only on personal and historical connections but also on his assessment of the administration’s efforts to address Nigeria’s economic challenges and reposition the country for sustainable growth.
According to the governor, the President inherited a difficult economic situation and has since embarked on reforms designed to strengthen public finances, attract investment, and improve long-term economic prospects.
He pointed to measures undertaken by the Federal Government in areas such as fiscal management, infrastructure development, and economic restructuring, arguing that while some policies have been difficult, they are intended to lay a stronger foundation for future growth.
The governor maintained that continuity in leadership would allow ongoing reforms to mature and deliver their intended benefits to Nigerians.
Oborevwori’s endorsement is expected to generate political discussions across the country, particularly within the South-South region, where political alignments ahead of the 2027 elections are gradually taking shape.
Political observers note that endorsements from influential governors often carry significant weight within their respective states and regions, especially as parties begin consultations and strategic planning for future elections.
The governor also called on political stakeholders to focus on issues of governance, development, and national unity rather than divisive rhetoric, stressing the need for collective efforts to advance the country’s progress.
Analysts believe the endorsement reflects the growing importance of coalition-building and strategic alliances as politicians position themselves for the next electoral cycle. They note that support from key political figures could play a crucial role in shaping the political landscape ahead of 2027.
While opposition parties continue to criticise aspects of the Federal Government’s policies, supporters of the administration argue that ongoing reforms require time to achieve their full impact and should be assessed based on long-term outcomes.
As preparations for the 2027 elections gradually gather momentum, statements from prominent political leaders such as Governor Oborevwori are expected to influence discussions on party strategies, alliances, and the future direction of Nigerian politics.
The endorsement adds another dimension to the evolving political landscape, with stakeholders closely monitoring developments that could shape the contest for Nigeria’s highest political office in the years ahead.
