The Delta State Government says Governor Sheriff Oborevwori will campaign for a second term in 2027 on the record of his administration rather than on new political promises.
Commissioner for Works Rural Roads and Public Information Charles Aniagwu said the government believed projects and programmes delivered under the MORE Agenda had justified the mandate given to Oborevwori in 2023.
Aniagwu said the administration would present voters with what it considered visible evidence of performance across the state.
He argued that development, infrastructure and good governance would remain the centre of the governor’s reelection campaign.
The commissioner cited the recent Delta State Economic and Investment Summit in Asaba as evidence of efforts to improve the state’s investment profile.
He pointed to the participation of World Trade Organization Director General Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and African scholar Patrick Lumumba among other guests.
Aniagwu said the presence of prominent local and international participants reflected growing interest in Delta’s economic direction.
The commissioner also responded to allegations by former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo Agege that the governor was planning to harm him.
Aniagwu rejected the allegation as baseless and politically motivated.
He said the two men were not contesting for the same office in 2027 and argued that there was no political reason for Oborevwori to target Omo Agege.
The allegation and the government’s denial remain competing political claims and were not independently established in the source material.
Aniagwu said anyone facing a genuine security threat should report the matter to relevant security agencies.
He also said Oborevwori’s movement into the All Progressives Congress had strengthened the party’s internal structure in Delta.
The commissioner said the administration would remain focused on security, investment, infrastructure and economic development while allowing voters to judge its record at the polls.
