Oborevwori rallies Delta APC to deliver votes for Tinubu

In a strategic move to consolidate support for President Bola Tinubu's presidential primary bid, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has galvanized the state's All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership and membership. His visit to Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, a founding leader of the APC in Delta, signals a unified front aimed at delivering a resounding mandate for the President.

“

We know our strength as a party in Delta State. We have over 470,000 members and we expect massive turnout. We are determined to deliver strong numbers because this exercise is important for the unity and future of our party.

Governor Oborevwori's confidence in the party's capacity is palpable. With a reported membership exceeding 470,000, the target of 390,000 affirmation votes is ambitious yet reflects the party's determination to showcase its strength in the South-South region. This mobilization effort is not merely about the presidential primary; it's a demonstration of the APC's organizational prowess and its commitment to the 'Renewed Hope Agenda' under Tinubu's leadership.

“

We are targeting at least 390,000 affirmation votes for President Tinubu, stressing that grassroots mobilisation across the state remained strong and active.

The governor's emphasis on discipline, unity, and respect for party leadership is particularly resonant in Nigeria's complex political environment. He rightly points out that internal cohesion is paramount for electoral success. Drawing parallels to his own affirmation as governorship candidate with over 345,000 votes, Oborevwori underscores that collective action and adherence to party structures are the bedrock upon which electoral victories are built.

“

A political party without discipline, without respect for leadership and without regard for authority cannot move forward. Leadership must be respected because that is what provides direction and stability for any organisation.

This concerted effort by Governor Oborevwori and party stakeholders in Delta State highlights the critical importance of grassroots mobilization and party loyalty. It’s a clear message that the APC is working cohesively to ensure President Tinubu secures a strong affirmation, reinforcing his leadership and paving the way for continued national progress as envisioned by the party.

“

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is one governor who respects elders so much. We have fought for this party for years and we thank God for his coming to provide leadership and direction.
