2027: Delta NDC gov candidate rejects monarchs’ endorsement of Oborevwori

The Delta State gubernatorial candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Deacon Chris Iyovwaye, has rejected the endorsement of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori by the Urhobo traditional rulers. Iyovwaye stated that his endorsement does not supersede the democratic right of Deltans to elect their governor through the ballot. The NDC candidate emphasized that the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria grants the electorate the authority to choose their governor.

He called for voters to focus on the performance and programmes of candidates rather than endorsements.
