As Delta State gears up for the 2027 gubernatorial election, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's tenure is under the spotlight. The political terrain has dramatically shifted, with the All Progressives Congress (APC) gaining prominence, moving away from the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) previous dominance.

Despite initial skepticism from some academic and professional circles regarding his ability to manage the state's economy and politics, especially given the high debt levels inherited in 2023, Oborevwori has exceeded expectations. His government has demonstrated a surprising adeptness at financial management and has overseen significant infrastructural growth, silencing even his staunchest critics.

He should be proud of the new state he is working to create. A state which continues to record progress with his growing stamp of performance.
