Special Assistant on Media to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Kelvin Okono, has advised presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Mr Peter Obi, to refrain from making frequent visits to Delta ahead of the 2027 general elections. Okono questioned Obi's repeated trips to the state, emphasizing that it has a sitting governor and is politically aligned with the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He urged Obi to seek permission from Oborevwori before visiting the state, stating that his frequent visits were disrespectful to the Delta governor. Okono cautioned that Obi cannot visit the state whenever he desires and that the governor's accommodating nature should not be taken for granted. The aide also accused Obi of attempting to deceive Deltans, similar to what he allegedly did during the 2023 presidential election.
Despite this, Okono declared that Delta had decided to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. Obi, who ran on the Labour Party ticket in the 2023 presidential election, is expected to be among the leading contenders in the 2027 presidential race.
