Political Earthquake: APC Addresses Rumors OF Adopting Oborevwori For 2027

Reports indicate that House of Representatives member Francis Waive had urged the party to endorse Oborevwori as its sole candidate for the upcoming polls.

Despite this, chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State have accused Oborevwori of secretly plotting to defect to the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.

However, in a statement signed by its publicity secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, the Delta APC distanced itself from Waive’s remarks, clarifying that his position was purely personal and did not reflect the party’s stance.

The APC assured its members and the public that its 2027 candidate would emerge through a transparent and competitive selection process, ensuring that the people’s aspirations for genuine change are met.

“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,” the statement read.

Furthermore, the party criticized Oborevwori’s administration, calling it a “monumental disappointment” and accusing it of financial recklessness and a failure to deliver meaningful developmental progress.

“Despite receiving over ₦2 trillion in federal allocations, the Oborevwori administration has failed to implement any significant infrastructural, economic, or social advancements for the people of Delta State,” Onojeghuo stated.

Reaffirming its commitment to unseating the ruling PDP, the APC highlighted that it has “an array of eminently qualified and capable individuals who will present Deltans with a viable and credible alternative in 2027.”

The Delta APC urged its members and the public to disregard Waive’s statement, emphasizing its determination to “rescue Delta State from the shackles of misrule and the failures of the PDP-led administration.
