The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State has set a target of delivering more than two million votes for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in the 2027 general elections.

The target was announced at the party's campaign flag-off rallies in Oleh, Isoko South Local Government Area, and Ozoro, Isoko North, where top political leaders called for stronger grassroots mobilisation ahead of the elections.

Former Governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, charged party members to work towards delivering the targeted votes, stressing that the APC must secure victory at all levels in the state.

Governor Oborevwori, who addressed supporters at the rallies, said his defection to the APC followed extensive consultations with political stakeholders and was aimed at aligning Delta State with the Federal Government to accelerate development.

He urged Deltans to support Tinubu's re-election bid, commending the President's economic reforms, which he said had increased revenue allocations to state and local governments and enhanced their capacity to execute development projects.

The governor disclosed that 17,500 Delta students had benefited from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), urging other eligible students to apply for the scheme.

He also announced that the State Executive Council had approved the construction of divisional police headquarters in the 25 local government areas in anticipation of the proposed establishment of state police.

Oborevwori further appealed to the Isoko people to support APC candidates, urging them to demonstrate solidarity with his wife, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, an indigene of Isoko North.

His wife, speaking at the Ozoro rally, also called on the people to vote for Tinubu, her husband and other APC candidates, describing the ballot as a powerful instrument of political expression.

Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme and APC State Chairman, Solomon Arenyeka, urged party members to sustain their support for the administration and ensure victory for the party's candidates.

Arenyeka presented party flags to the candidates for the Delta South Senatorial District, Isoko Federal Constituency and the four Isoko State House of Assembly constituencies.

Director-General of the Delta APC Campaign Council, Senator James Manager, acknowledged the economic difficulties facing Nigerians but urged them to remain hopeful, expressing confidence in the Federal Government's reform agenda.

National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, expressed satisfaction with the turnout at the rallies, which he likened to the party's national campaign.

Also speaking, Chief Solomon Ogba highlighted the proposed Federal Medical Centre in Oleh and the planned dualisation of the Oleh Roundabout-Iyede Road as major development prospects for the Isoko area.

Other political leaders at the rallies included former Delta APC governorship candidate, O'tega Emerhor; Chief Ovuozourie Macaulay; Ovie Umuakpor; Hon. Itiako Ikpokpo; Hon. Oviemuno Oghoore; Hon. Julius Pondi and Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu.

The party leadership urged candidates and supporters to intensify mobilisation across their constituencies and polling units as the APC begins preparations for the 2027 general elections.
