2027: Deliver All APC Candidates – Oborevwori Urges Delta Residents

The Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, has called on the people of Isoko Nation to support and vote for all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

The governor said his administration had made visible investments in roads, healthcare, education and other critical sectors across Isoko land and other parts of the state.

Oborevwori made the appeal on Monday while inspecting ongoing and completed projects at the College of Health Technology, Ovrode, and the Ozoro Modern Market in Isoko North Local Government Area.

This was contained in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Festus Ahon.

The governor said the people of Isoko Nation should reciprocate the government’s development efforts by supporting APC candidates during the next general elections.

“What the Isoko people owe us is that in 2027, they should deliver all our candidates. We have done roads here, we have invested in health and education, and our footprints are visible across the state. We are working in all 25 local government areas and the three senatorial districts,” he said.

Oborevwori said project inspections were part of his administration’s standard procedure before commissioning any completed facility.

“Before I commission any project, I always carry out an inspection to assess the quality of work and ascertain whether it is satisfactory and ready for commissioning. Having inspected this project, I can say the work is impressive, though it is not yet 100 per cent complete.

“There are one or two areas that still require correction before commissioning. Some minor adjustments need to be made, particularly in the landscaping and a few finishing touches. Once these corrections are made, the project will be ready for inauguration,” he stated.

Speaking on the College of Health Technology, Ovrode, Oborevwori described the institution as a special project, saying the state government also approved the construction of an access road to improve movement to the facility.

“When we approved this project, we also decided that it deserved a good access road. Today, the road has been completed, and when we commission the college, we will commission the road as well,” he said.

The governor also said the project reflected his administration’s commitment to improving healthcare training and expanding access to quality public infrastructure.

Oborevwori expressed satisfaction with the quality of work at the Ozoro Modern Market, saying the facility had been completed and was ready for commissioning.

“We earlier visited the Ozoro Modern Market, and I am impressed with what I saw. The project has been completed for several months and is ready for commissioning.

“We are not concentrating only on roads. We are making huge investments in education, healthcare and other critical sectors. We don’t spend time publicising every project on social media. When people visit these places, they see the massive work we are doing. Many people don’t even know projects like this market, the College of Health Technology and the Irri Technical College exist,” he said.

The governor added that his administration had also undertaken major projects at Southern Delta University, stressing that development was taking place across the state under the M.O.R.E. Agenda.

Earlier, the contractor handling the Ozoro Modern Market project, Chief Iduh Amadhe, said the market had been completed since last year and was awaiting commissioning by the state government.

According to him, the facility comprises 192 open shops, 28 lock-up shops, eight warehouses, 16 modern toilets, water facilities, four fire points, meeting halls for market leaders, offices for market administration and labour unions, as well as two security posts.

Amadhe, however, raised concerns over repeated vandalism at the market, revealing that about N3.2m had been spent on repairs after the facility was attacked on three separate occasions.

He appealed for improved security around the complex to protect the investment and ensure effective use of the market by traders and residents after the inauguration.
