Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has declared that his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) obliges him to work for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and the success of all the party’s candidates.

Consequently, he urged Christian leaders across the state to support the party with prayers and mobilise their followers for victory in the 2027 general elections.

Oborevwori made the declaration yesterday when the Executive Committee of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Delta State, led by its Chairman, Bishop Abos Willie, paid him a special prayer visit at the Government House, Asaba.

The governor, who attributed his emergence as governor in 2023 to the grace of God and the prayers of Christian leaders, appealed to the PFN leadership and other fathers of faith to continue praying for the country, Tinubu and the Delta State Government.

He said the 2027 elections should not be approached merely from the standpoint of political calculations, stressing that God’s will remained supreme in determining who occupies positions of authority.

He said: “I am an APC man. I must work for my President and my candidates. I will continue to speak for them.”

He urged the Christian community to extend to the President the same goodwill and support it had shown him, insisting that his loyalty to the President is part of his responsibility as a member of the ruling party.

“If you love me and you believe I am doing well as governor, extend that love to the President and to all my candidates. That is the truth,” he said.

He appealed to the church to intensify prayers for Tinubu, particularly for wisdom, strength, good health and divine guidance as he leads the country through ongoing reforms.

The governor acknowledged that the reforms were beginning to strengthen the financial capacity of state and local governments.

He cited improved capacity of local councils to execute developmental projects, including roads and health facilities, as evidence that the reforms were yielding positive results.
