Delta Governor: APC Has Enough Support for 2027 Elections, No Need for Vote-Buying

In a bold statement, Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has enough grassroots support to win the 2027 general elections without engaging in vote-buying. According to a report by Vanguard News, Oborevwori made the declaration on Wednesday during the party’s local government-by-local government campaign rallies in Akwukwu-Igbo, headquarters of Oshimili North. The governor expressed confidence in the party’s ability to secure victories without resorting to the controversial practice of vote-buying. This declaration comes amidst concerns about the role of money in Nigerian politics, with some politicians accused of buying votes to secure electoral victories. However, it remains to be seen if other APC members share the governor’s sentiment.

The governor’s statement is significant, particularly given the ongoing debate about the role of money in Nigerian politics. It remains to be seen if other APC members share the governor’s sentiment, and whether this stance will impact the party’s campaign strategy leading up to the 2027 elections.
